The Canon imageRUNNER ADVANCE C5240 driver allows your Windows computer to send print jobs to this multifunction device over a network. Installing the appropriate Canon driver helps Windows recognize the printer and makes its supported printing options available in your applications.

Key Features

• Network printing: Connect to the Canon imageRUNNER ADVANCE C5240 through your local network using its IP address or a shared printer connection.
• Print settings: Adjust options such as paper size, orientation, color mode, and double-sided printing, depending on the driver and device configuration.
• Paper and finishing controls: Access available paper trays and supported finishing functions when the corresponding accessories are installed and correctly configured.
• Windows compatibility: Choose a suitable driver package for Windows 11, 10, 8, or 7. Compatibility can vary by driver version, so check the package details before downloading.

How to Install

1. Check your Windows version. Confirm which Windows edition you are using and whether it requires a 32-bit or 64-bit driver. Select a Canon package that explicitly supports your operating system and the imageRUNNER ADVANCE C5240.
2. Prepare the network connection. Turn on the printer and confirm that your computer can reach it on the network. If you plan to add it manually, obtain its IP address from the device’s network settings or your network administrator.
3. Download and launch the installer. Save the matching driver package, extract it if necessary, and run the setup program. Approve the Windows permission prompt if one appears.
4. Add the printer. Follow the installer’s instructions to search for a network printer or enter its IP address. If the package has no setup program, use Windows’ Add printer option and browse to the extracted driver files when prompted.
5. Verify the configuration. Open the printer’s properties, check any installed trays or finishing accessories, and print a test page. If printing fails, confirm the selected printer port and IP address before reinstalling.

This download is intended for printer communication and print settings. Scanning or other multifunction capabilities may require separate Canon software and additional network configuration.

Common Issues and Fixes

• Install fails or setup cannot locate the C5240: Remove older Canon imageRUNNER/ADVANCE drivers and stale printer ports, reboot, then run the C5240 installer as administrator. Confirm the UFR II/PCL package matches your Windows version and architecture.
• Device not detected on the network: Check the copier’s IPv4 address on its control panel and confirm the PC is on the same subnet. Temporarily allow printer sharing through Windows Firewall, then add the C5240 by IP using the Canon UFR II or PCL driver.
• Driver conflicts, duplicate queues, or broken scanning: Uninstall previous Canon drivers and delete duplicate C5240 queues/ports before reinstalling. Match the print driver to the queue type, and install Canon’s network scan driver separately if scanning fails.
