What is the difference between the Command Reference Guides and the Canon SDKs?
The Command Reference Guides provide simple commands that can be embedded within a print job to control features such as Sorting, Stapling, Duplexing, Number of Copies, etc. These commands can be used on a number of operating systems to modify a print job that is destined for a Canon print device. The SDKs are high-level programming instructions that can be used in applications running on a Windows OS. The SDKs allow the application to make settings that are otherwise available through the device driver User Interface. Using the SDKs requires programming skills and knowledge of certain software technologies, as described elsewhere on this site.
