Preparation Flow

In order to use the services provided by Desktop, such as printing documents, transmitting fax, importing documents via a scanner, and managing printers and jobs, you need to register and configure compatible external devices and software applications.
The flow of registration and configuration of external devices, and configuration of external software applications is shown below.
1.
Register a new library that is used to store folders and files.
For more information, see the following for your system.
NOTE
A Personal Library named "My Library" is automatically registered.
2.
To output from Desktop to a device, register a printer output button and fax output button.
From among the Canon printer drivers that are installed on your computer, a printer driver that is available for automatic registration is automatically registered as a printer output button on the output bar of the Desktop Browser screen. Therefore, you may find that the printer output button has been registered on the output bar even when no action to register the printer output button is taken.
When you check the output bar in the Desktop Browser screen and there is no printer output button of the printer that you want to use, register the printer output button manually.
For information on registering a fax output button, see the following.
3.
To import documents with a scanner, configure the scan settings.
For more information on the scan settings, see the following.
