Canon iPhone app "Direct Print and Scan Mobile" - configuration of Canon iR-adv 6075

[Guest]

I am trying to figure out what needs to be done on the printer to get Canon's new "Direct Print and Scan Mobile" app to work. Particularly, I am stumped by these instructions from Canon:

How do I add a Canon imageRUNNER and/or imageRUNNER ADVANCE MFP to my iPhone and/or iPad?

1. From your iPhone or iPad, launch the Canon Direct Print and Scan for Mobile Application
2. On the home page, touch Canon Devices
3. Touch Add Device
4. Barcode scanner will display
5. Go to Canon imageRUNNER or imageRUNNER ADVANCE and select the Print & Scan icon on the MFP Main Menu
6. QR Code will be displayed
7. Hold your Apple iPhone or iPad camera lens over the QR Code on the Canon MFP
8. Your iPhone or iPad automatically scans the barcode
9. If the scan is successful the Canon MFP is added to the Canon Devices list

Regarding item no. 5, I can't find a menu item or icon for "Print & Scan" and am wondering if anyone knows anything about that feature.

Also, FYI, I can access the 6075 from the web interface and use a direct print feature there (upload a pdf), but I am not sure if that is in any way related.

For background, see Apple link and Canon link

Any pointers or suggestions would be most appreciated.

You have to have the dorect print kit installed on the mfp first.
You would be better to use the cloud portal it doesn't cost anything.

Thanks for yoor suggestion. I looked at the cloud, but it seem less convenient because it seems like people have to go though Google docs or Sharepoint. Is Google docs/Sharepoint necessary to use the cloud service?

I think we already have the direct print kit installed. How can I verify that?
