My printer is a Cnnon MP530. I need software to allow me to scan documents. Thanks for your help. Robert Olive

Put your document in the feeder on the top or open the hood to put it on the glass. Then press scan and start or "ok" to get the process started. Watch the digital read out on the printer when you press commands.

There are two ways to scan using an all in one printer. One way is requesting the scan by using the software inside the computer. To do that, open the software that came with your printer and click on the scan option, then follow the prompts. Using this method requests the scan from the pc to the printer.

The second way to scan is using the controls on the printer itself to send the scan to the pc. Using this method is a little harder and more complicated then the above stated. When you press scan and then ok or start, the printer might need to search for compatible programs to send your scan to. if this is the case, then you will have to choose from the programs that it retrieves and displays in order to make it happen. if the printer does not automatically locate a compatible program installed on your pc to send your image to, then the scan request cannot be completed and it will error out.

you can get the manual here

You need to reinstall the scaner software with the option to scan to word or any other application that the scan botton will activate when the scan botton is pressed.

did you install it correctly? try going to Control Panel, go to Printers and other Hardware and try to fix it from there make sure that the printer is your default printer

Hey, so if you already have everthing else working, drivers installed and so on. Lets try scanning a document, this should work if everything is installed fine.

press start
select run
(if your using windows vista just hold down the windows key and press r to open the run menu)
type in mspaint

now that you have paint started, click File and from scanner or camera



if a document gets scanned fine, (follow on screen instructions) then we can look at optional software to scan documents, if paint is not enought.

Thanks,
Ekse

If you;ve installed the MP Navigator software from the CD, then you should be able to press the scan button on the printer with your Mac connected and the MP navigator will open automatically on your Mac ready to scan. You can also try going into Preview (the Mac app) and from the file menu select Import... and it should open a scan window.  Hope this helps!
