Printing from the Cloud
Using the Cloud functionality of the printer, you can print data that is uploaded to the Cloud services (such as Canon iMAGE GATEWAY and Evernote).
For Cloud printing from a smartphone or tablet device, follow the procedures explained below.
Checking the printer environment
To use the Cloud, the printer needs the following environment.
If the printer is connected to a PC only via a USB cable, the Cloud cannot be used.
