Canon Scanning Utility is an application that provides scanning, file saving,
image viewing, printing, and various other functions. A dedicated scanner
driver is installed after you install the utility software.
• The Scanning Utility includes a device driver so that Windows can recognize the
CR-L1. Be sure to install the Scanning Utility before connecting the CR-L1 to the
computer.
• Some functions mentioned in this manual may not be operated in some
applications.
Installing the Scanning Utility
Follow the instructions below to install the Scanning Utility and the dedicated
driver.
• If you use the USB interface that was provided as standard with your computer:
• Use the most recently available USB 2.0 driver provided by Microsoft. Contact
your local authorized Canon dealer for more detailed information.
• Not all USB interfaces provided as standard with personal computers are
guaranteed. Contact your local authorized Canon dealer for more detailed
information.
• Scanning speeds are slower if your computer’s standard USB interface is USB
1.1.
• You should use the USB cable originally bundled with the scanner or a Hi-Speed
USB 2.0 compatible cable.
• If the CPU, memory, interface card, and other specifications do not satisfy the
installation requirements, the scanning speed may be greatly reduced and
transmission may take longer.
• Even if the computer satisfies the recommended specifications, the scanning
speed may vary, depending on the scan settings.
The dedicated scanner driver is installed after the Scanning Utility has been installed.
A Turn ON your computer, and log on to Windows.

WARNING
For operation, maintenance, and ventilation, make sure that there is enough
space around the scanner.
Avoid placing the scanner in the following places. It may cause a malfunction
and adversely affect the scanner or your computer.
• Places exposed to direct sunlight
If installation in such places is unavoidable, provide a curtain or similar object
to shade the scanner.
• Places subject to dust and fumes
Dust and cigarette fumes adversely affect the components inside the
scanner.
• Near running water, a heat source, water vapor, or in an area, such as a
laboratory exposed to ammonia gas, paint thinner, or other volatile chemicals
• Places subject to excessive vibration and shock
• Places subject to rapid changes in temperature or humidity
Condensation occurring inside the scanner may impair image quality. Place
the scanner in a room that is within the following range:
Room temperature: 10°C to 32.5°C (50°F to 90.5°F)
Relative humidity: 20% to 80% RH
20% to 50% RH when using the imprinter
Use the recommended operating environment for the ink cartridge when
using the imprinter.
• Near electronic equipment or heavy equipment that generates a strong
magnetic field, such as a speaker, TV, and radio
Power Supply
• Connect only to a power outlet of the rated voltage and power supply
frequency (either 120V, 60 Hz or 220-240V, 50/60 Hz, depending on your
region).
• Make sure that the scanner is connected to an independent power outlet. Do
not plug the scanner into an outlet shared with another device. If you use an
extension cord, make sure that the extension cord is rated for the current

authorized Canon dealer or service representative for further information.
• Never place an object on top of the power cord or step on the power cord.
• Never bundle the power cord or wrap the cord around an object, such as a
table leg.
• Do not tug on the power cord. When you remove the power cord, grip it by
the power plug head.
• Keep the area around the power outlet free of obstacles.
• Connect only to a power outlet of the rated voltage and power supply
frequency (either 120V, 60 Hz or 220-240V, 50/60 Hz, depending on your
region).
• Do not connect to power outlets with other electrical devices. Also, when
using an extension cord, make sure that the extension cord is rated for the
current requirements of the scanner.
• Disassembling and/or reassembling the AC adapter is extremely dangerous
and should not be attempted under any circumstances.
• Do not place heavy objects on the AC adapter or power cord. Do not place
the adapter or cords in an area where they are likely to be stepped on.
