## Printing
### Good to know
- You need to be in the `kanthaus` network to print
- 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, under the black cover.
### General information
- You need to be in the `kanthaus` 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 [bookletimposer](https://kjo.herbesfolles.org/bookletimposer/) (e.g. `sudo apt install bookletimposer`) 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)

## Scanning
## Scanning to USB
### 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.
> **Note:** The USB stick needs to be formatted with the Windows file system FAT to be recognised by the printer/scanner-combination.
## Scanning to Network
### 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 [Scan](smb://kanthaus-server/scan) share on kanthaus-server. Use the file manager of your system and browse for `windows/samba/network shares` or directly enter the address: `smb://kanthaus-server/scan`. If you are asked for any credentials, you can login anonymously.
