      A Date Stamp can be added to images before printing using the supplied [ImageBrowser EX] image management and editing software.

      IMPORTANT
      • The operations described here assume that the ImageBrowser EX software for use with digital cameras has been installed, and has been updated over the Internet.
      • Installation procedures for [ImageBrowser EX] may differ depending on the model you are using.
      - If [ImageBrowser EX] is included on the DIGITAL CAMERA Solution Disk that came with your camera, please install the software using the DIGITAL CAMERA Solution Disk.
      - If [ImageBrowser EX] was not included on the supplied CD, you can download and install the [ImageBrowser EX] updater from the download page of the Canon Web site.
      - If a CD did not come bundled with your camera, please download the [Digital Camera Software] from the Canon Web site and use it to install the [ImageBrowser EX] software.
      Please note that you will need to have your camera ready when you perform the installation.
      NOTE
      • The following example procedures are shown as performed in Windows 7. Operations and on-screen displays may differ slightly depending on the operating system you are using.

      1. Import your images into the computer.

      2. Double-click the icon on your desktop to start [ImageBrowser EX].



      If you do not find a shortcut icon for [ImageBrowser EX] on your desktop, start [ImageBrowser EX] by clicking [Start] () > [All Programs] or [Programs] > [Canon Utilities] > [ImageBrowser EX] > [ImageBrowser EX], in that order.



      NOTE
      On a Mac, click the [ImageBrowser EX] icon on the [Dock]. If no [ImageBrowser EX] icon is found on the [Dock], click [Go] on the menu bar, select [Applications], and then open [Canon Utility] > [ImageBrowser EX], and then select and start [ImageBrowser EX].

      3. Image Browser EX will start. Click the desired images.



      4. Select an image to print, click [Print], and then select [Print Images].
