Why is my scanner not turning on?

A possible reason for your scanner not turning on could be that it is not properly connected to a power source. Please ensure that the power cable is securely plugged into both the scanner and a functioning power outlet.

How can I fix blurry scans?

Blurry scans can occur if the document is not placed flat on the scanner bed or if the scanner lens is dirty. Gently clean the scanner lens using a lint-free cloth and ensure the document is positioned correctly and evenly on the flatbed to obtain clear scans.

My scanned documents have streaks on them, what should I do?

Streaks on scanned documents may be caused by dust or debris on the scanner glass or the Automatic Document Feeder (ADF). Clean the glass surface or ADF carefully using a soft, lint-free cloth to resolve this issue.

How can I scan multiple pages into a single file?

To scan multiple pages into a single file, utilize the document feeder or enable the duplex scanning feature if available. Adjust the scanning settings to save the output as a multi-page PDF file or use specialized software provided by Canon for advanced scanning options.
