This article is to assist staff in how to set up and install the Canon printer for fair-time use.

Description

The Canon imageCLASS MF455dw all-in-one printer is located in the finance office for most of the year.   During fair time, it is taken to the fairgrounds for staff to use (early to mid-July), and then returned to the finance office after fair.

This KB article is to assist staff in how to set up and install the printer for fair-time use.

Procedure

1. [Anyone who needs the printer installed] Restart your computer to make sure no pending updates are waiting to install.  Copy the "Canon MF455dw drivers" folder from M drive to your desktop. 
   • M:\Public\Canon MF455dw drivers
      
2.  [Only one person needs to do this step] Configure the AT&T RG2102 Franklin A50 hotspot so that the privacy separator option is turned off. 
   • Microsoft Word - UM_RG2102_English_v1.0.docx (att.com) - start on page 14 on how to go to web portal, page 17-18 on how to turn off the privacy separator.
      
3. [Only one person needs to do this part] Confirm finance no longer needs to use the printer and switch the Canon printer over to wireless connection.
