Printing (Windows) - Adding a Copy Code for a Canon Copier

Follow these steps to enter a Department ID, or copy code, into printer preferences for a Canon copier.

Windows 11

  1. Open Settings.
  2. In the navigation pane on the left, select Bluetooth & devices.
  3. Click Printers & scanners.
  4. Select the copier from the list of connected printers.

    If you do not see the copier in your list of printers, see Printing (Windows) - Mapping a Departmental Printer for steps to connect.

  5. Click Printing preferences.
  6. Go to the Support/Device tab.

    If you do not see the Support/Device tab, contact Technical Support for assistance.

  7. Click Authentication Information Settings...
  8. Enter your code into the "Department ID" field. In most cases, you should leave the "PIN" blank.
