The Canon iR5055/iR5065 (FAX) driver lets compatible Windows applications send fax jobs through a Canon iR5055 or iR5065 multifunction device with fax capability configured. It is intended for office users who need PC faxing rather than just printing or scanning.
Before choosing a Canon iR5055/iR5065 (FAX) driver download for Windows, check your operating system and whether it uses a 32-bit or 64-bit architecture. Listed supported systems include Windows 10, 8.1, 7, Vista, and XP, but compatibility depends on the individual driver package. If you are comparing Windows 10/11 options, do not assume Windows 11 support unless Canon explicitly lists it for that release.
Key Features
- PC fax submission: Send documents from compatible applications to the device’s fax function without first printing a paper copy.
- Fax-specific settings: Access recipient and transmission options provided by the installed driver and supported device configuration.
- Windows integration: Adds a fax destination that compatible programs can select through their print dialog.
- Shared office workflows: Supports computer-based fax preparation for workplaces using a properly configured Canon iR5055 or iR5065.
How to Install Canon iR5055/iR5065 (FAX) Driver
- Check your setup. Confirm the device model, Windows version, and system architecture. Make sure the machine’s fax function is enabled and its required connections are working.
- Select the correct package. Look for the latest version that explicitly supports your operating system. For a free download, use Canon’s official support resources or another trusted source, and verify the package details before proceeding.
- Extract and launch. Unpack the downloaded archive if necessary, then run the installer with administrator privileges. Follow any included setup instructions.
- Configure the fax destination. Select the appropriate device or connection during setup. For a network installation, you may need the machine’s IP address or assistance from your administrator.
- Verify operation. Open a document, choose the installed Canon fax destination, and check the available settings. Send a test fax to a known recipient to confirm successful transmission.
Keep the driver updated when Canon provides a compatible release that addresses your needs. Before you update, review the release notes and operating-system requirements; a newer package is not necessarily suitable for older Windows installations. Save a copy of your working installer in case you need to reinstall it.
