Most computers require special software to link the software applications you
use to create documents or images with your printer. This software, called a
printer driver, converts information from the application into a format that the
printer can understand. The Canon S600 printer driver also provides other
features such as monitoring the printer’s paper supply and ink levels.

If the S600 is the only printer connected to your computer, it will automatically be
set as the default (main) printer. However, if your computer has access to multiple
printers, you can set the S600 as the default printer.
