– When installing or removing the toner cartridges, be sure
–



to place the papers on the transfer belt (A) of the delivery
feeder unit to protect the belt.
Do not touch or place objects on the transfer belt (A) of
the delivery feeder unit. The transfer belt (A) comes with a
self cleaning function so do not wipe the transfer belt (A)
even when toner can be seen attached to the belt. If the
delivery feeder unit is broken or the transfer belt (A) is
damaged, this may result in misfeeds or deterioration in
print quality.

Adjust Color with “Auto Gradation Correction”
When using the machine for the first time, it is necessary to adjust the gradation in order to obtain the optimum
copy or print results.
There are two types of gradation adjustments that can be made: Full Correction and Quick Correction.
● Full Correction

This is a precise adjustment. The procedure involves making test prints and placing them on the feeder for
scanning. Once this is complete, the machine automatically corrects the irregularities.
– For an accurate adjustment, do not use colored paper, transparencies, or labels. It is recommended that you use plain white paper
when performing Full Correction.

– Make sure that you place the test prints properly. Accurate adjustments cannot be made if the test prints are not scanned correctly.
– Two sheets of LTR or A4 paper are required for test prints.
● Quick Correction

This is a quick and simple adjustment. Adjustment is made internally without outputting any test prints.

It is recommended that you select  when performing an automatic gradation adjustment. Select 
for a quick, but less complete adjustment between regular full corrections.

About User Software CD-ROM

Details about each drivers installation can be found in the corresponding HTML manuals listed in the Manuals
subsection on p. 41.
UFRII LT Driver
Using the UFRII LT Driver, the various data
processing tasks conventionally executed within
the printer are appropriately divided between
the host computer and the printer to greatly
reduce the overall printing time. The workload
can be delegated to match the output data,
thus realizing a significant increase in speed
through optimization.
FAX Driver
The FAX Driver is conceptually akin to a printer
driver. A user selects [Print] from any Windows
application software, selects the Canon fax
driver as the printer, and specifies its
destination(s) and options. The FAX Driver then
converts this into an image that conforms to
standard fax protocols, to be printed or stored
on the recipient fax machine(s).
Color Network ScanGear
Color Network ScanGear enables you to
remotely scan originals from your computer
over the network and transmit the scanned
images to your computer.

40

PCL Printer Driver (Color imageCLASS
MF9280Cdn Only)
The PCL5c, PCL5e, and PCL6 printer drivers
can be used with most kinds of business
application software. The PCL5c printer driver
is for color printers, the PCL5e printer driver is
for black-and-white printers, and the PCL6
printer driver is for both color and black-andwhite printers. PCL6 is an advanced version of
PCL5c and PCL5e, and offers superior printing
quality and speed. The PCL5e printer driver is
provided as standard with black-and-white
printers.
PS Printer Driver (Color imageCLASS
MF9280Cdn Only)
The PS printer driver converts print data from
applications into data for use with PS printers,
and sends it to the printer. As well as
converting print data, it can also enable you to
configure settings relating to finishing and
detailed settings such as color adjustment,
and provides an appropriate print
environment for desktop publishing and
publishing on demand.
