I still need to pick up the printer at Officeworks before I can try to claim my cash back reward from Canon website.

Printer can be declared for tax deduction.

I have not look at how much is the refillable ink.
Look for alternative inks or refillable inks online.


Update: 
The setup instruction is simple and straight forward as you need to look a the images. It doesn't explain much (which could be a problem if some of the procedure doesnt work). In my case It did not auto detect my WIFI network.

It doesn't also include the USB cable to connect your printer physically to your laptop/desktop as it is suppose to be a WIFI printer.


- It took me a while to figure out how to connect it to my wifi network as it did not detect my wifi automatically as it was looking for WPS (could be my wifi router is an old model)

If it did not detect your wifi network autmatically, try to configure your WAN manually to access your WiFi router.

Make sure the WIFI ICON on your Canon printer turns BLUE which means your printer is now connected to your WIFI network.

 You may now install Canon driver/software on your Laptop/Desktop (WiFi) capable and it should be able to detect your Canon Printer. IF you do not have cdrom, follow the link provided in the instruction to download over the internet.

Test print - successful (over wifi)
Test scan - successful (over wifi)

Boy Kuripot tip of the day: How to SAVE using Opal card (Sydney)

News Update: 09-Sept-2014
----------------------------
Sydney Morning Herald publish on their paper that even the Transport Minister  ( Gladys Berejiklian) has backed commuters who manipulate their travel to get the best deal out of their Opal card, potentially saving them, and costing the government, hundreds of dollars a year.

This article was originally posted on 2-Sept-2014

Main goal is to travel short trips from Minday to reach 8 trips as quickly as possible so that all travel after 8 trips is free until Sunday.


Example:  Weekly Train fare using MyTrain: $35.00 weekly (Rockdale to Town Hall / 14kms )


Opal rules:
-  Free trip after 8 trip starting on Monday.
-  You can travel to multiple station within an hour for a single fare/trip
-  Maximum you will ever get charged per day is $15.

To save money using opal is to travel at least 3 trips a day but make sure you are going to travel at least 4x a week so you can complete the 8 trips as soon as possible.
You may not be able to save is are NOT travelling from Mon-Fri or think that you cannot reach 8 trips for the week.

Here is how you can save money using Opal.


If I am using MyTrain weekly - I pay $35per week.
- the travel in the morning ($2.87) is OFF-PEAK price if you enter the station before 7AM


Normal trip per day: (home-->office-->home)
DAY            To work   Lunch    To Home
Monday:        $2.87                    $4.10
Tuesday:        $2.87                    $4.10
Wednesday:   $2.87                    $4.10
Thursday:      $2.87                    $4.10
Friday:           FREE                   FREE
Saturday:       FREE                   FREE
Sunday:         FREE                   FREE

Total Cost per Week: $27.88   (Still cheaper than MyTrain $35 weekly)


If I travel during peak hours in the morning and afternoon  ($4.10 one way trip  x 8 trips = $32.80 per week). I still save compare to $35 my train weekly plus I get to travel free from Friday-Sunday.



Traveling three trips a day:
DAY                To work   Lunch      To Home
Monday:          $2.87       $2.31       $4.10
Tuesday:          $2.87                       $4.10
Wednesday:     $2.87                       $4.10
Thursday:        $2.87                      FREE
Friday:             FREE    
Saturday:         FREE             
Sunday:             FREE

Total Cost per Week: $26.09


Travelling three trips a day:
DAY               To work    Lunch      To Home
Monday:         $2.87       $2.31         $4.10
Tuesday:         $2.87       $2.31         $4.10
Wednesday:    $2.87       $2.31        FREE
Thursday:        FREE    
Friday:            FREE    
Saturday:        FREE             
Sunday:          FREE             

Total Cost per Week: $23.74


The farther you are from the city, the more you save.


Suggestion:
- Travel single trip on train or bus during lunch break to the next station and walk back to your office.
- If you are short on time, take the train back to your station within 1 hr and you will only be charge as single trip.



Two benefits:
1. Short trip on train or bus means paying lowest fare that will help reach 8 trips as quickly as possible.
2. Gives reason for you to excercise (walking).


See you at the train station during lunch break :-)
