Download the Windows printer driver:
GPlus_PCL6_Driver_V290_32_64_00.exe
When installing the drivers, there are two important steps to note during the installation process:
- Select the option to install the Canon Information Assist Service this provides the Department ID management service
- Select the custom option instead of searching for the printer, select the ir-ADV C3525 driver and add a Standard TCP/IP port pointing to 10.9.61.1
Extracting the Software
- When downloading, click the save option. This will save the software to your Downloads folder.
- Go to your Downloads folder in windows explorer.
- Locate the file starting Gplus_UFRII_Driver and double-click.
- It will extract into the downloads folder creating a new folder with a similar name.
- Once extracted, open the new folder.
- Open the x64 folder and double-click setup.exe (it might display as just "setup". It will be the one with an icon of a CD rather than a document with a cog.)
Installing the driver
- Select 'Custom' on the printer setup screen.
- Tick the box to install the 'Cannon Information Assist Service' and click 'Yes' to allow it through the Windows Firewall. This is very important - the printer will not work without this option.
- Select the correct driver for the iR-ADV C3525 UFR II. Note: it may present a pre-ticked auto-select option. If so, leave it on auto-select.
- Rename the printer to 'BioEscalator Printer' and then click the 'Add Port...' button.
- Select 'Standard TCP/IP Port'.
- Enter the printer IP address of 10.9.61.1. The port name will fill in automatically.
- Follow the rest of the prompts, and the printer will be installed.
- The printer must be set up with your departmental ID before use.
- To do this, open the Settings (Little Cog) in the start (Windows) menu, then choose Printers.
- Select the printer with the name you set up earlier and click manage.
- Click 'Printer Properties'
- When the properties appear, select the "Device Settings" tab. Next, change the user management to "Departmental ID Management" and click the settings button next to it.
- Enter your department ID in the box and leave the PIN blank. Click OK on this window and the printer properties window.
- Check the printer is working by printing a test page.
