Installing the Poster Artist Design Software:
*The Poster Artist Software is not compatible with MACs. You can access the online version at posterartist.canon
This will be covered in the training as well.
1. Use the disks to download Poster Artist (Poster Designing Software) on the computer that you will be using with the printer. (Poster Artist Lite comes in the printer box, don't download that version unless you would like to install it on a second computer).
2. Follow the prompts to complete the installation. You will need to use the license number that is inside the Poster Artist Disk Case on the small white label. If you do not have a disk drive on your computer, let us know and we can send you the download file.
Installing the Poster Artist Templates:
The Poster Artist Templates will be shared as a Google Drive File. You can download
these after you download Poster Artist and have everything else set up.
* Make sure Zoom is installed on the device that you will be using for the online training.
