Canon printer enable bidirectional

Answer 1

To enable bidirectional communication on a Canon printer, you would typically access the printer's settings through the control panel or the printer driver software on your computer. Look for an option related to bidirectional support or communication and ensure it is enabled. Bidirectional communication allows the printer to send status updates back to the computer, such as ink levels and error messages, improving overall printing performance and efficiency.
