The Canon PRINT Business app allows users to print and scan from a Canon copier, using a smartphone or tablet. Here's how you connect your device.
Wanting to use your smartphone to print to and scan from an imageRUNNER device? There’s an app for that.
The Canon PRINT Business app allows users to perform mobile printing and scanning and features functions such as scan hard copy documents with a Canon imageRUNNER device and save them in a smartphone or tablet, upload documents to various cloud storage services, attach documents in emails and send them, and print documents.
But first, we need to sync up your phone and your print device.
You have two options for connecting your smartphone or tablet to your print device:
- Link to the same wireless network as the MFP by selecting the Mobile Portal on your imageRUNNER menu screen. Use the QR code that is available on the display screen and follow the steps provided.
- Establish a peer-to-peer direct connection. To do so, first click on the "direct connection" tab from the Mobile Portal. Scan the QR code with the app’s scanner and follow the directions provided, pair via blue tooth (requires additional accessories), or touch your smartphone or tablet to the device with Near Field Communication, or NFC (requires additional accessories). Direct connection can support up to 5 smartphones or tablets at a time.
You’re now ready to fully utilize the app. One note: The Remote Operation feature allows the user to control the imageRUNNER ADVANCE user interface from their smartphone or tablet without having to touch the control panel.
