Note: This document is intended to inform end users of the release of date of updated drivers software

Apple has released Mac OS X 10.7. Consequently Canon is releasing updated software to increase

compatibility with Mac OS X 10.7 for iPF series, as well as W series of imagePROGRAF large format printers.

Current versions of imagePROGRAF software for Mac OS X will work with Mac OS X 10.7 with some

limitations. Canon has tested Mac OS X 10.7 with the current versions of Mac OS X printer driver software

and Canon’s finding of the compatibility with the Mac OS X 10.7 and its limitations are listed below.

Although the current versions of the software for Mac OS X are generally functional, with some limitations

(including those summarized below), their operation is not complete or supported by Canon when used

with Mac OS X 10.7. In order to take fuller advantage of and to be compatible with Mac OS X 10.7, Canon

strongly recommends all users of imagePROGRAF with Mac OS X 10.7 upgrade their software to the Mac OS

X 10.7 compatible versions upon release. The new Mac OS X 10.7 compatible versions of the software will

also be backward compatible with Windows Mac OS X down to Mac OS X 10.3.9.
