||||
| What do I do if a file is not previewed or printed correctly? |
||||
| Depending on the data content of Microsoft Office files (doc, docx, xls, xlsx, ppt, pptx) and iWork files (Pages, Numbers, Keynote), they may not be able to be previewed or printed correctly.

| What happens when there is an incoming telephone call during printing? |
||||
| Incoming telephone calls do not present a problem during printing.

||||
| How do I confirm the IP address of the printer? |
||||

||||
| Searching for a printer takes a long time. Why does this happen? |
||||
| The printer searching process normally takes about 20 seconds. In [Settings] - [Wi-Fi] - access point name - [DNS] in the iOS, if the IP address of a DNS that does not exist or is not operating correctly has been input, a timeout is generated during the host name acquisition process, therefore the printer searching process may take some time. |

||||
| If an encryption level is used that is not supported by the iOS, such as 256-bit encryption or encryption by
a digital cerificate, you cannot print a PDF with Canon Mobile Printing. In such a case "Cannot display preview." is displayed in the preview screen. To print with Canon Mobile Printing, change the encryption level of the PDF on a computer. |
||||
| Although images being printed from [Photo Albums] are in black and white, the image data is counted as color image data at the device. |

data. To have the image data counted as black and white data, print it according to one of the following methods.
