The Canon imageRUNNER 3235i printer driver lets Windows communicate with your office multifunction printer, translating documents into print jobs and making supported printing options available in your applications. Choose a driver package that matches your Windows version and system architecture so you can configure the printer correctly.

Key Features

• Application printing: Send documents, spreadsheets, and PDFs to the Canon imageRUNNER 3235i from Windows programs with a print function.
• Page and paper controls: Adjust settings such as paper size, orientation, copy count, and page layout to suit each job.
• Two-sided output: Access duplex printing settings to reduce paper use when producing reports, handouts, and other multipage documents.
• Device-specific configuration: Set up available paper sources and supported finishing options to match the equipment installed on your printer. The options shown can vary by driver package and hardware configuration.

How to Install

1. Check your Windows system. Confirm whether your computer runs Windows 11, 10, 8, or 7, and check its system architecture in Windows system information. Before downloading, verify that the package explicitly supports your operating system and the imageRUNNER 3235i; older driver releases may not list newer Windows versions.

1. Download and extract the driver. Save the matching Canon printer driver package to your computer. If it arrives as a compressed archive or self-extracting file, extract its contents before starting installation.

1. Prepare the printer connection. Turn on the printer and ensure it is connected to your office network. For a network installation, have its IP address or hostname ready, particularly if automatic discovery does not find it.

1. Install and select the device. Run the supplied installer and follow its prompts. If the package does not include an installer, use Windows printer settings to add a printer manually, then select the extracted driver files when requested.

1. Configure and test printing. Open Printer Properties or Printing Preferences, check the available trays and accessories, and choose your preferred defaults. Print a test page to confirm that Windows can reach the printer and produce output correctly.

For Windows 11 or another system not explicitly listed in a package’s documentation, check Canon’s compatibility guidance rather than assuming an older driver will work. Scanning and other multifunction capabilities may require separate software.

Common Issues and Fixes

• Install fails or rolls back: Run the Canon setup as administrator, match 32/64-bit Windows and the correct UFR II/PCL driver for the iR 3235i, and temporarily pause antivirus. Remove old Canon iR printer queues/drivers before retrying.
• Device not detected: For network use, verify the copier’s IP, enable SNMP, and create a TCP/IP port manually instead of relying on auto-discovery. Check firewall/VLAN routing; for USB, use a direct rear-port connection and replace the cable.
• Driver/version conflicts: Windows may fall back to a generic or older Canon driver. Delete existing iR 3235i queues, uninstall old UFR II/PCL packages, reboot, then install the current driver on the correct port.
