== Printing ==

=== General information ===

* You need to be in the <code>kanthaus</code> network to print.
* If you use a VPN, you’ll need to switch it off for printing.
* The printer consumes ~15W on standby. It may be left on during the day; it should be switched off at night. The power switch is on the right, vertical edge as you face the printer.
* On startup the printer may ask for the paper size of a paper tray: choose ''“A4 - plain paper”''.
* Sometimes the printer doesn’t wake up from sleep for printing: wake it by pressing the ‘power’ button on top panel.
* Pressing the ‘eye’ button 👁 let’s you view the current print job(s) and adjust the paper size.
* Often pages are printed in ''“US Letter”'' format accidentally - but there is only A4 and A3 paper in the printer, so these jobs are rejected with the ''“Load paper”'' instruction.
* Printing a booklet? Install the easy-to-use [https://kjo.herbesfolles.org/bookletimposer/ bookletimposer] (e.g. <code>sudo apt install bookletimposer</code>) to convert a linear PDF into booklet format. The default settings are probably what you want (i.e. print 2 pages side by side on A4 -> A5 booklet when folded and stapled)

#* Make sure you know where the driver is extracted to. It may be in the same folder as the <code>.zip</code>, or it might have been cleverly put somewhere by your system.

''Buggy! Manual installation (above) recommended.''

If you are logged into <code>kanthaus</code> or <code>kanthaus-insecure</code>, the printer should automatically appear in your print dialogues as <code>Kanthaus_CanonC2025_...</code>. (The printer is ''not'' accessible from <code>kanthaus-gast</code>.)

If you don’t see the printer, check your system has [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multicast_DNS MDNS] For linux, this means having <code>avahi-daemon</code> installed and running, which should be the default on most distibutions.

This method prints via the virtual printer installed on the kanthaus server. While this should normally work, you might consider installing the printer manually on your system to avoid any potential problems and have a more direct relationship to the printer.

== Scanning ==

=== To USB ===

Insert a USB stick into the printer (slot to the right of the control panel). Press the power button on top to wake printer if sleeping, then press the ''“Scan & Store”'' button on the top of the screen and select the USB Memory Media.

Select options as desired, then press big, green button to scan. Press ''“Start storing”'' to transfer the scan, and finally eject USB stick via small, green button on the bottom-right corner.

<blockquote>'''Note:''' The USB stick needs to be formatted with the Windows file system FAT to be recognised by the printer/scanner-combination.
</blockquote>
=== To network ===

After turning the printer on, press the ''“Scan & Store”'' button on the top of the screen and select the KH-Server location.

After scanning, you will find your files in the [smb://kanthaus-server/scan Scan] share on kanthaus-server. Use the file manager of your system and browse for <code>windows/samba/network shares</code> or directly enter the address: <code>smb://kanthaus-server/scan</code>. If you are asked for any credentials, you can login anonymously.

For Windows 10, you may additionally need to: 1. enable SMB1.0 - in settings, go to ''“Windows Features”'' → tick options starting ''“SMB”'' → click ''“OK”'' 2. map network drive - open file explorer → go to ''“This PC”'' → click ''“Map network drive”'' (top menu bar) - in the pop-up: - for ''“Drive”'', choose a drive letter (any unused letter, default should be OK) - for ''“Folder”'', give <code>\\kanthaus-server\scan</code> → ''“Finish”''

<blockquote>'''Note:''' Remove your files after scanning: they are accessible to anyone without authentication from all networks except <code>kanthaus-gast</code>.
</blockquote>
