How to Scan a Document on a Canon Printer

To scan a digital version of a physical document into your computer using an all-in-one Canon printer. You can do this on both Windows and MAC computers.

Make sure that your Canon printer can scan. If your printer is an "All-In-One " model, it can scan. Some other printer models can scan as well, although you should check the printer documentation or product page to make sure that this is the case.
Connect your printer to your computer. Most Canon printers that can scan will also be able to connect wirelessly via the touch screen panel, but you may need to connect the printer to your computer via a USB cable. Tip: Most printers include a USB cable that you can use if the wireless feature isn't working.
Turn on the printer if necessary. Press the "On" button on the printer. If the printer doesn't turn on, make sure the printer is connected to a working power source.
Open the scanner. Lift the scanner cover so you can see the bottom of the scanner glass. If your Canon printer has an all-in-one paper feeder, insert your document into the tray instead. You can see the symbol in the tray to see how the paper inserts.
Place your document face down on the scanner. You will see a sign next to the glass base; This usually shows how the document should be oriented on the scanner.
Close the scanner cover. Make sure that it is firmly closed before you scan your document.
