A kind of wireless Quick start configuration via the PIXMA Printing Solutions app you do not have to hope. Instead, refer the app to the online manual of Canon, wherever you will be forwarded directly through the app. Finding your way there once also is not easy, because this site was subdivided strange.
Per WPS is connecting the printer to your wireless router, only the unit from the smartphone and the app is detected. But now comes the next hurdle: It is now in the assumption to be able to configure the printer from the PIXMA App, but referenced by the app with the following message on a different approach: "Enable Wi-Fi on the system and select among SSIDs detected the printer SSID below. Select below to connect to the printer SSID [OK]. "
With "system", the smartphone is meant. What only the online manual is clear then is that the Wifi button you have to press on the printer so that it only appears as a wireless device. Once you have then connected to the printer is still not possible to configuration via App. Long story: Finally, to configure the printer via the browser of the device IP.
Here printhead and power settings. Based on two beams recognize the remaining amount of ink. For five pictures and four test pattern for the printer to about 1/3 color ink and black ink consumed almost 1/4.
The photo quality is measured by the price of the device satisfactorily. The images appeared a little low contrast, colors were just a little paler than the original. The sharpness was fine, with a few details were visible. In summary, the quality is fine.
The resolution of the scanner can be configured either through the app, yet the device menu, and apparently has a fixed value. The scanning process is fairly quiet and a DIN A4 page is scanned in about 30 seconds and transferred to the smartphone (optional in jpg or pdf). When zoom fall podium on the contours and light artifacts. High enough this scanner for copying documents or book articles completely.
Conclusion:
Much equipment and relatively decent print quality for little money. Compromising to do but at the cost of printing because the ink cartridges are not replaced individually and the lack of paper magazine. If that do not mind, and who is not afraid of an initially somewhat expensive device, the device gets a good value for money.
