Once on the support page, you will need to choose your operating system version. Canon offers drivers for different versions of **Windows**, including Windows 7, 8, 10, and 11 (32-bit and 64-bit). Make sure to select the correct version that matches your system’s architecture. If you’re not sure, you can find your system’s bit version in the **System Information** section of your computer settings.
Step 3: Download the Driver Package
After selecting your operating system, you will see a list of available downloads. The most important file is the **printer driver** package. Canon provides several files, including:

The setup wizard will guide you through the installation. Follow the on-screen instructions, which may include:
Agreeing to the **License Agreement**.
* Choosing the **Connection Type** (USB or Network).
* If you select **USB**, make sure your printer is connected directly to the computer.
* If you choose **Network** (Wi-Fi), the setup will ask you to enter your wireless network details to connect the printer.
Step 5: Complete the Setup
After the installation is finished, restart your computer if prompted. Once your system restarts, your Canon imageCLASS MF743Cdw printer should be ready to use. You can verify the installation by printing a test page from the **Printers & Scanners** section in **Windows Settings**.
