Installing Printer Driver
This chapter provides instructions for installing the printer driver to use the Canon LASER CLASS 310 as a local printer (connected directly to
your computer). If you want to set the machine as a shared printer, continue the steps in “Setting the Machine as a Shared Printer,” on p. 2-13.
If the machine is already on your network and you want to start using it, proceed to “Using as a Shared Printer on Your Network,” on p. 2-21.
Installing the Printer Driver on Your Computer
Canon Advanced Raster Printing System (CARPS) is the software that extends the power of the Windows operating system
to a printer to speed up and simplify print jobs. CARPS provides more printing control under Windows applications.
This section provides installation procedures of CARPS to use the Canon LASER CLASS 310 as a local printer (connected
directly to your computer).
Using User Software
If you install CARPS for the first time and your computer has no printer driver installed through a USB connection, follow the
steps in “Installing Printer Driver through a USB Connection,” on p. 2-2. If you update CARPS or change the port setting,
follow the steps in “Installing Printer Driver without a USB Connection,” on p. 2-7.
