You're likely asking how to photocopy an ID card, such as a driver's license or passport, using your Canon printer's copying function, rather than a specific "Canon printer ID". Canon devices often have a dedicated feature for copying ID cards onto a single page.
Here are the steps based on the provided reference, which describes how to use the "Copy ID Card" feature on a compatible Canon device:
Steps to Photocopy an ID Card
Follow these instructions carefully to copy both sides of your ID card onto one side of a single sheet of paper:
- Ensure no other original documents are placed in the automatic document feeder (if your machine has one). You cannot start copying if another original is set in the feeder.
- Place the ID card on the platen glass face down. Position it correctly according to the guides on the glass or as instructed by your machine's display.
- Press the <Copy> button on your Canon device's control panel. This will take you to the basic copy settings screen.
- Press the <Options> button (or equivalent) on the Copy Basic Features screen. This allows you to access advanced copying functions.
- Press the <Copy ID Card> option from the list of available features.
- If you need to change the paper source or type, press <Change>, select the desired paper (like A4 or Letter), and press <OK>.
- Follow the on-screen instructions to scan the first side of your ID card. The machine will typically guide you to flip the card and place the second side for scanning after the first side is done.
- After scanning both sides as prompted, press <OK> and then <Close> to finalize the settings and begin printing the copy.
Your Canon printer will then print both sides of your ID card onto a single sheet of paper, making it easy to manage.
