The Canon imageRUNNER 1740 driver connects this office printer to your Windows PC, allowing applications to send print jobs with the correct settings. For Windows 11, 10, 8, or 7, choose a driver package that matches your operating system and system architecture so Windows can recognize the printer and display its available options.

Key Features

• Reliable print communication: Enables Windows applications to send documents to the Canon imageRUNNER 1740 through a supported USB or network connection.
• Document layout controls: Provides access to settings such as paper size, orientation, copy count, and page layout, depending on the driver package.
• Paper-saving options: Lets you select two-sided printing and multiple pages per sheet when those options are supported and configured.
• Printer configuration: Helps Windows recognize installed paper sources and other available device options, making it easier to match print settings to the printer’s setup.

How to Install

1. Check your Windows version. Confirm whether your computer runs Windows 11, 10, 8, or 7, and check whether it uses a 32-bit or 64-bit system. Select a Canon imageRUNNER 1740 driver explicitly listed for that combination.
2. Download and extract the package. Save the appropriate driver to your computer. If it arrives as a compressed archive, extract its contents before starting installation.
3. Prepare the printer connection. Turn on the printer. For network printing, make sure the printer and PC can communicate over the network and note the printer’s IP address if needed. For USB installation, follow the installer’s instructions about when to connect the cable.
4. Run the installer. Open the setup program and approve administrator access if prompted. Choose the connection type, then select the detected printer or enter its network address. If no setup program is included, use Windows printer settings to add the device and select the extracted driver.
5. Verify the setup. Open the printer’s properties, review its paper and device settings, and print a test page. If the job does not print, check that the correct printer queue and port are selected and that the device is online.

Use a package intended for your Windows version rather than assuming a driver for an older system will work. If multiple driver types are offered, consult the package notes to choose the one suited to your applications and printer configuration.

Common Issues and Fixes

• Install fails or setup stalls: Disconnect the USB cable, remove old Canon/UFR II drivers, run the installer as administrator, and reconnect only when prompted. For network installs, verify the imageRUNNER 1740 IP and temporarily disable firewall/AV blocking.
• Device not detected: Check the USB cable/port or network link. Print a configuration page from the copier to confirm its IP, then add the printer manually using the correct Canon UFR II driver and port.
• Driver/version conflicts: Remove conflicting Canon printer entries, restart the print spooler (`net stop spooler`, `net start spooler`), and install the latest imageRUNNER 1740 driver for your exact Windows version. Avoid mixing 32-bit and 64-bit drivers.
