Canon L380S Guia Do Programa

Installing CARPS on Your Computer

This chapter provides instructions for installing the printer driver to use the Canon FAX-L380S/L390 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. 2-16. 
If the machine is already on your network and you want to start using it, proceed to “Using the Shared Printer on Your 
Network,” on p. 2-22.

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 FAX-L380S/L390 as a local 
printer (connected directly to your computer).

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. 2-8.
