I added a printer (MX860) at my other house and now I can't scan on my MP830 it has scanner selector set on MX860 and I can't change it.

This model printer has only a USB connection to a computer and cannot be setup as a wireless printer without additional wireless networking equipment.

The greater the detail setting the scanner is set to scan at, the greater will be the time taken to complete the scan process.

Lowering the detail settings may reduce the time taken to scan a document.
These settings may be found in the software that came with your printer.

Thanking you

Let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks.

Ok it can be either 2 things: The FIRST is if you have not UNLOCKED the scanner lock switch. The scanner lock switch is a switch that keeps the scanner assembly frozen in place so that when you move your scanner from room to room or apartment to house, the scanner wont freely move around the unit causing it to be dammaged.

To unlock the Scanner lock switch just lift your document cover and look for the swtch on the LEFT hand side of the scanner's glass bed.

SECOND: IF the scanner lock swtich is set at UNLOCK, then your scanner assembly is broken and needs to be replaced. You must then send it to Cannon or any Mulitfunction printer repair place.

I hope this helps you :)

change the black cartrage follow by the color

see this link how to connect wireless printer

The scanner can only scan one at a time, if you can't scan multiple pages you need to adjust the scanning software and settings, not the printer or scanner.

my mp830 will print, copy, fax but it will not scan to the computer. Please help

you have to use other programs such as photoshop to use the scanner

In the menu(on the printer), there is a option where in you can specify if you want the scanner to scan in mono or colour it is set to mono that is why you are not getting any colour scans.
