-# Setup
-
-Currently, the printer is not available on the network so a computer must connect directly via USB and have [the drivers installed](https://www.usa.canon.com/support/p/imageprograf-ipf6400).  We only support a single configured roll of Plain Paper of ideally 45lb, though if that is out of stock we may choose to load something higher quality.  You are allowed to bring in your own roll material, but must be familiar with how the roll holder operates and how to load the paper, please ask in the Discord if you'd like to learn. If you do bring your own materials, the printer *must* be returned to its default configuration and paper after your job is complete.  To date, no one has yet tried to load manual feed paper, though it theoretically is capable of it.
