=What is the GARO Device Setup Utility and the GARO Status Monitor?=


 * GARO (**G**raphic **A**rts with **R**aster **O**perations) is a Canon proprietary page description language that is used to communicate with the printer. It is based on the HP-GL Raster language and "selects the fastest, most portable, most accurate and most efficient command sets, minimizes overhead in memory and sends data to the printer more quickly".
 * The GARO Status Monitor is a software utility that monitors the status of the printer and manages print jobs. The Status Monitor Contains two screens: the "Printer List" lists the printers, and the "Status Monitor" shows the specific details about each printer.
 * The GARO Device Setup Utility is a software application that allows you to configure network setup information on the printer remotely from your computer. It is only of use if your printer is connected by Ethernet. You can use this utility on your computer to enter the basic settings such as entering the printer IP address or selecting the network frame type. **Note**: If your printer is connected by USB rather than by Ethernet you don't need to use the GARO Device Setup Utility.
