STEP 3  
Connecting to a Computer  
Connecting the Scanner to the Computer  
Turn OFF the Auto Start switch on the rear of the scanner, and use the  
supplied USB cable to connect the scanner to the computer.  
Auto Start Switch  
There is an Auto Start switch at the rear of the scanner for setting  
whether to operate the scanner as a storage device.  
Depending on the position of the Auto Start switch, the scanner  
operates as shown below.  
Switch  
IMPORTANT  
Scanner Operation  
Position  
• Take care not to disconnect the USB cable while data is being  
transferred between the scanner and computer during scanning.  
• The USB connector to which the scanner is connected on your  
computer must be one capable of supplying 500 mA of power.  
• Do not connect the scanner to the computer before installing the  
software.  
The scanner is recognized as a storage device by  
the computer. Starting CaptureOnTouch Lite  
preinstalled in the scanner enables you to perform  
scanning on a computer without the scanner driver  
installed. (However, you cannot store scanned  
images or any other data on the scanner.)  
ON  
Hint  
The scanner is recognized as a scanning device by  
the computer. You can connect the scanner to a  
computer with the scanner driver installed, and  
perform scanning using an application, such as the  
supplied CaptureOnTouch.  
When connected to a USB port that supports USB 3.0, the scanner  
operates on 900 mA bus power and is capable of high-speed  
scanning. Using the power supply cable in such cases will not  
increase the scanning speed.  
Although this scanner supports USB 3.0 bus power, USB data  
transfer rates remain at USB 2.0 speeds.  
OFF  
IMPORTANT  
• Turn the Auto Start switch ON or OFF before you connect the  
scanner to a computer. If it is turned ON or OFF after the scanner is  
connected to a computer, the scanner may not operate properly.  
• When you use the scanner with the Auto Start switch turned ON, the  
computer needs to be started before you connect the scanner to  
the computer. If the scanner is connected to a computer that is not  
started and the feed tray of the scanner has been opened to turn  
ON the power, the computer may not be able to start.  
Using a USB Hub  
The scanner cannot be used when it is connected to a computer via a  
bus-powered USB hub. A self-powered USB hub can be used, but  
operation is not guaranteed.

Before Using the Scanner  
Important Safety Instructions  
To ensure the safe operation of this scanner, be sure to read the  
safety warnings and precautions described below.  
Avoid exposing the scanner to rapid changes in temperature. If the  
room in which the scanner is installed is cold but rapidly heated,  
water droplets (condensation) may form inside the scanner. This  
may result in a noticeable degradation in scanning quality. The  
following conditions are recommended for optimal scanning quality:  
Room temperature: 10°C to 32.5°C (50°F to 90.5°F)  
Humidity: 25% to 80% RH  
Avoid installing the scanner near equipment that generates a  
magnetic field (e.g. speakers, televisions, or radios.)  
Installation Location  
The performance of this scanner is affected by the environment in  
which it is installed. Make sure that the location where the scanner is  
installed meets the following environmental requirements.  
Provide adequate space around the scanner for operation,  
maintenance, and ventilation.  
AC Adapter (Sold Separately)  
Do not use AC adapters other than the one specified (sold  
separately) for this scanner. Do not use the AC adapter designed  
for this scanner with any other device.  
If you want to enable high-speed scanning with a USB 2.0  
connection using only one USB cable, purchase an AC adapter  
(sold separately).  
If you have any questions regarding the power supply, contact your  
local authorized Canon dealer or service representative for further  
information.  
Moving the Scanner  
When moving the scanner, always hold it with both hands to avoid  
dropping it.  
Provide adequate space in front of the scanner, as scanned  
documents are ejected from the front.  
Avoid installing the machine in direct sunlight. If this is unavoidable,  
use curtains to shade the scanner.  
Avoid locations where a considerable amount of dust accumulates.  
Avoid warm or humid locations, such as in the vicinity of a water  
faucet, water heater, or humidifier. Avoid locations where ammonia  
gas is emitted. Avoid locations near volatile or flammable materials,  
such as alcohol or paint thinner.  
Make sure to disconnect any USB cables and AC adapters (sold  
separately) when moving the scanner. If the scanner is carried with  
these items connected, the plugs and connectors may be damaged  
or cause the scanner to fall and result in personal injury or damage  
to the scanner.

Clean the scanner using a slightly dampened cloth that has been  
well wrung out. Never use alcohol, benzene, paint thinner, or any  
other flammable substance.  
If you will not be using the scanner for an extended period of time,  
such as during consecutive holidays, disconnect the USB cable or  
power supply USB cable for safety.  
Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry that may get caught in the  
scanner while you are using it. This may result in personal injury. Be  
extra careful of neckties and long hair. If anything becomes caught  
in the scanner, immediately disconnect the power to stop the  
scanner.  
If the scanner makes strange noises, or gives off smoke, heat, or  
strange odors, or the scanner does not function or other  
abnormalities occur when you use the scanner, immediately turn  
the scanner OFF, and disconnect the USB cable or power supply  
USB cable. Then, contact your local authorized Canon dealer or  
service representative for further information.  
Do not drop the scanner, or subject it to impact or strong shock.  
Should the scanner ever become damaged, immediately close the  
feed tray, turn the scanner OFF, and disconnect the USB cable or  
power supply USB cable. Then, contact your local authorized  
Canon dealer or service representative for further information.  
Before moving the scanner, make sure to close the feed tray, turn

Features of the Scanner  
The scanner has the following features.  
Two-Sided Scanning  
Compact Size  
The scanner supports one-sided and two-sided scanning. Using the  
skip blank pages function enables you to scan without worrying  
about whether to scan one side or both sides of a document  
because scanned images of blank pages are not saved.  
Auto Color Detection  
The scanner has a compact size of 285 mm (W) × 40 mm (H) × 95  
mm (D) (11.22" (W) × 1.57" (H) × 3.74" (D)) when the document  
feed and eject trays are closed.  
Bus-Powered  
Supporting USB 3.0 bus power, the scanner is capable of scanning  
at a speed of 15 black-and-white (grayscale) pages per minute and  
10 24-bit color pages per minute using bus power via a single USB  
cable (200-dpi simplex scanning of A4 documents is assumed in  
both examples).  
When using a USB 2.0 interface, high-speed scanning is still  
available through the additional use of the power supply USB cable  
or an AC adapter (sold separately).  
The scanner detects whether the scanned document is in color,  
grayscale, or black and white, and saves the image accordingly.  
Full Auto Mode  
A Full Auto Mode is provided in CaptureOnTouch Lite,  
CaptureOnTouch and scanner driver to allow scanning under  
automatically determined conditions. Scanning conditions such as  
the color mode and page size are set automatically based on the  
document being scanned.  
Auto Start Function  
Auto Resolution Detection  
The CaptureOnTouch Lite software that comes preinstalled in the  
scanner can be started by turning ON the Auto Start switch on the  
rear panel. Connecting a computer to the scanner enables  
scanning even when the driver is not installed.  
Auto Power ON/OFF  
This feature automatically turns the power ON or OFF when the  
feed tray is opened or closed.  
Equipped with Feeder  
When enabled in the CaptureOnTouch Lite, CaptureOnTouch or  
scanner driver settings, this function detects the content of  
documents and determines the scanning resolution automatically.  
Document Size Auto Detection  
This feature enables automatic detection of the page size of a  
scanned document. The space around the edges of documents can  
be omitted during scanning, even for non-standard size documents.  
Deskew  
Up to 20 pages of a document can be loaded and then fed  
continuously, or one at a time.  
Even if a document is slanted when fed into the scanner, the  
scanned image can be straightened.  
Dedicated Card Slot  
Text Enhanced Mode  
The scanner includes a dedicated slot for scanning plastic cards.  
CaptureOnTouch  
When the bundled CaptureOnTouch software is installed, you can  
perform scanning with a variety of scanning methods, ranging from  
a normal scan, to a scan that involves a series of steps and which  
is performed by registering a job.  
Advanced Text Enhancement II is provided to improve the  
readability when scanning documents in which the background is  
uniform and both the text and background are light.  
* This feature may not work effectively for some documents  
Drop-Out Color  
This feature makes it possible to ignore specific colors when  
scanning a document.  
Color and Grayscale Support  
The scanner is capable of scanning a document in 24-bit color or  
256-level grayscale.  
Prescan  
This feature allows you to scan just the first page of a document,  
confirm the scanned image and adjust the brightness and contrast,  
and then scan the remaining pages of the document.

Scan First  
Pressing the Start button on the scanner automatically starts  
CaptureOnTouch Lite or CaptureOnTouch and scans the document  
in the feed tray when you use the Scan First function.  
Auto Detection of Document in Feeder  
An automatic start function is provided for detecting when a  
document is placed in the feeder and then starting scanning  
automatically.  
IMPORTANT  
Depending on the bundled software you are using, all of the  
preceding features may not be available.

Using an Auxiliary Power Supply  
Since this scanner is bus-powered, scanning can be performed with a  
single USB cable. However, scanning can be performed at a higher  
speed if you use the power supply USB cable or an AC adapter (sold  
separately).  
Connect the power supply USB cable or AC adapter (sold separately)  
to the power connector at the rear of the scanner.

Hint  
When connected to a USB port that supports USB 3.0, the scanner  
operates on 900 mA bus power and is capable of high-speed  
scanning. Using the power supply cable in such cases will not  
increase the scanning speed.  
Although this scanner supports USB 3.0 bus power, USB data  
transfer rates remain at USB 2.0 speeds.

• It is recommended that documents exceeding 356 mm (14") in size  
are fed one sheet at a time.  
• Scanning documents before the ink is dry can cause problems with  
the scanner. Always make sure that the ink on a document is dry  
before scanning it.  
• Scanning documents that are written in pencil or similar material  
may make the rollers and scanning glass dirty, which can lead to  
smudges on the scanned image and transfer the dirt to subsequent  
documents. Always clean the internal parts of the scanner after  
scanning such documents.  
IMPORTANT  
The documents to be scanned must satisfy certain criteria. Read the  
following items carefully.  
• When scanning multiple documents of different sizes, place the  
documents so that they cover the entire span of the feed rollers by  
aligning the centers and leading edges of the documents.  
• When scanning a two-sided document that is printed on thin paper,  
the image on the opposite side of each page may show through. In  
this case, adjust the scanning intensity in the application software  
before scanning the document.  
Align the centers  
Align the leading edges  
• It is recommended that thin documents are fed one sheet at a time.

IMPORTANT  
Placing Cards  
• When loading a multi-page document, place the pages of the  
document with their edges slightly askew.  
Use the card slot when scanning plastic cards. Use the following  
procedure to scan the cards one by one.  
1
2
Open the document feed tray. (See p. 30)  
Turn the card face up, and insert the card straight into the  
card slot.  
When the edge of the card touches the slot, the rollers will move  
automatically. The roller will stop when it has caught the edge of  
the card, allowing you to let go of the card and start scanning from  
an application.  
• If the document is curved, straighten the document before  
loading it.  
• The scanned document is ejected from the front. Do not place  
any objects in front of the scanner.  
The card will be fed when you start scanning with an application  
program. After the card has been fed completely, the rollers will  
turn in the opposite direction and scanning of the card will start.  
The scanned card will be ejected from the front card slot.  
• If double-feeding occurs, reduce the number of pages that you  
load into the scanner at one time.  
CAUTION  
• Depending on paper quality, you may hear unusual noises  
while scanning some documents, but this does not indicate a  
malfunction.  
• The card slot is disabled when documents are placed on the feed  
tray. When you want to insert a card in the card slot, remove any  
documents from the feed tray.  
• During scanning, a portion of the card will protrude from the rear  
card slot at the rear of the scanner. Keep the area in front of the rear  
card slot clear of objects.

of up to 1,000 mm (39.4") in length can be scanned. Note the  
following when using the Long Document mode:  
• When scanning long documents, close the feed extension plates.  
• When scanning in the Long Document mode, if the document is  
placed on the scanner in a skewed position, it may hit the edges of  
the feeding area and be damaged. Be careful to place the  
document so that it is not skewed.  
• When scanning with the Long Document mode, paper jam  
detection may react slowly, resulting in damage to the document.  
Be careful to avoid paper jams.

Maintenance  
Daily Maintenance  
Clean the scanner on a regular basis, as described below, to maintain  
peak scanning quality.  
Cleaning the Inside of the Scanner  
Dust or paper particles inside the scanner may cause lines or  
smudges to appear on scanned images. Use compressed air to  
periodically clean dust and paper particles from the document feed  
opening and the inside of the scanner. After finishing a large scanning  
job, turn OFF the scanner and then clean out any paper particles  
remaining inside the scanner.  
WARNING  
• When cleaning the scanner and the inside of the scanner, close the  
feed tray to turn OFF the power and disconnect the USB cables.  
• Do not use spray cleaners to clean the scanner. Precision  
mechanisms, such as the light source, may get wet, and cause a  
malfunction.  
• Never use paint thinner, alcohol, or other organic solvents to clean  
the scanner. The exterior of the scanner may become deformed,  
discolored, or melted. Such solvents may also cause a fire or  
electric shock.  
Cleaning the Scanning Glass and the  
Rollers  
If scanned images contain streaks, or if the scanned documents  
become dirty, the scanning glass or rollers inside the scanner may be  
dirty. Clean them periodically.  
Cleaning the Outside of the Scanner  
To clean the outside of the scanner, wipe off any dirt with a cloth that  
has been dampened with water or mild detergent solution and  
thoroughly wrung out, and then wipe the scanner dry with a clean dry

Hint  
Replacing Consumable Parts  
This message only serves as a rough guide for when to replace the  
feed roller and separation pad.  
They may wear out sooner if, for example, a lot of pages with rough  
surfaces are scanned.  
The feed rollers and separation pad inside the scanner are  
consumable parts and will wear with scanning. If either the feed roller  
or the separation pad or both are worn, documents may not feed  
correctly and paper jams may occur.  
When the total number of pages of documents fed in the scanner  
exceeds the following quantity, a message appears when the scanner  
is connected to the computer. In such cases, you must replace the  
part indicated in the message. For details on the consumable parts,

Troubleshooting  
Common Problems and Solutions  
This section provides recommended solutions to common problems.  
If you have a problem that is not solved by the following, contact your  
local authorized Canon dealer.  
Problem 3  
Documents feed askew (scanned images are  
slanted).  
Solutions  
(1) Align the document guides to fit the documents as  
closely as possible, and load the documents so  
that they feed straightly.  
(2) Enable [Automatically straightens skewed images]  
(or [Deskew]) in the scanner driver settings.  
(3) If many pages have been scanned since the last  
roller cleaning, clean the rollers and separation  
pad. If documents still feed askew, roller  
replacement or other maintenance may be  
Problem 1  
The scanner does not turn ON.  
Solutions  
(1) The scanner remains OFF while the feed tray is  
closed. When you open the feed tray, the scanner  
turns ON automatically.  
(2) If the scanner is connected to the computer via a  
USB hub, try removing the hub and connecting  
directly to the computer.  
Problem 2  
The scanner is not recognized.  
(4) Confirm that the separation pad is attached  
securely.  
Solutions  
(1) Confirm that the scanner is properly connected to  
the computer with a USB cable.  
(5) Perfectly straight scanning may not be possible for  
the document due to the structural design of the  
scanner.  
(2) Confirm that the scanner is turned on. See the  
previous “Problem 1” if the scanner does not turn  
on.  
(3) The computer’s USB interface may not support the  
scanner. The scanner cannot be guaranteed to  
work with all USB interfaces.  
(4) Confirm that the supplied USB cable is used to  
connect the scanner to the computer. The scanner  
cannot be guaranteed to work with all available  
USB cables.  
(5) If the scanner is connected to the computer via a  
USB hub, try removing the hub and connecting  
directly to the computer.  
(6) When the Auto Start switch on the scanner is set  
to ON, you can only scan with the built-in  
application, CaptureOnTouch Lite. In this case,  
scanning from applications on the computer is  
disabled.  
Problem 4  
CaptureOnTouch Lite does not start.  
Solutions  
(1) If the Auto Start switch on the scanner is set to  
OFF, the built-in application, CaptureOnTouch  
Lite, does not start. Close the feed tray to turn OFF  
the scanner, and set the Auto Start switch to ON.  
(2) If access to USB devices is blocked by security  
software, you may not be able to use  
CaptureOnTouch Lite.  
Problem 5  
The auto play screen appears when the scanner is  
connected, but you cannot scan with  
CaptureOnTouch.  
Solutions  
When the Auto Start switch on the scanner is set to  
ON, you can only scan with the built-in application,  
CaptureOnTouch Lite. Close the feed tray to turn OFF  
the scanner, and set the Auto Start switch to OFF.  
(7) When the scanner is operated with Windows and  
if “?”, “!”, or “x” icons appear for the scanner in  
Device Manager, delete the scanner in Device  
Manager and reinstall the scanner driver.

Problem 6  
Documents are not scanned according to the  
settings configured in the scanner driver.  
Problem 10 Multiple pages of scanned images cannot be  
saved to a single file.  
Solutions  
When you scan using a job registered with  
CaptureOnTouch, the registered job settings have  
priority over the scanner driver settings. Edit existing  
job settings, or create a new job using the desired  
scanning conditions.  
Depending on the file format, multiple scanned image  
pages cannot be saved as a single file with  
CaptureOnTouch Lite and CaptureOnTouch.  
File type  
Processing for multiple pages  
JPEG, BMP,  
PPTX (Windows  
only)  
Problem 7  
If white lines or streaks appear in scanned images.  
Scanned images are always saved one  
page per file.  
Solutions  
Clean both sides of the scanner glass, and the rollers.  
If a sticky substance such as glue or correction fluid is  
found, carefully wipe with just enough pressure to  
clean the area where the lines appear. If the problem  
cannot be solved by cleaning, the internal glass may  
be scratched. Contact your local authorized Canon  
dealer.  
You can save multiple pages to a single  
file by clicking  
and selecting [Save  
TIFF, PDF  
all pages as one file] in the displayed  
dialog box.  
Problem 11 All of the placed documents have been scanned,  
but the scanned image does not appear on the  
application.  
Problem 8  
Pages are missing.  
Solutions  
Then the scanner driver’s [Scanning Side] setting is  
[Skip blank page], documents with very little black may  
be unintentionally skipped. Decrease the [Set the  
likelihood of skipping blank page] value (see p. 59,  
p. 90), or select another scan mode setting such as  
[Simplex] or [Duplex]. If pages are skipped due to the  
document double feeding, see “Problem 9 Documents  
jam (or double-feed)”.  
Solutions  
When [Panel-Feeding] or [Automatic Feeding] is  
selected as the feeding method on the scanner driver’s  
setting screen, a scanning operation will not continue  
after all of the documents are fed, as the scanner  
awaits additional documents to be fed. You can finish  
the operation and send the scanned images to the  
application by pressing the [STOP] button on the  
operating panel.  
Problem 9  
Documents jam (or double-feed).  
Solutions  
(1) If the feed roller and the separation pad have been  
installed correctly, clean them if necessary.  
(2) Proper scanning may not be possible when  
document pages stick together due to static  
electricity. Fan the documents before you load  
them.

Problem 12 Memory becomes insufficient and scanning stops.  
Solutions  
If you configure scanning conditions that use a large  
amount of the computer’s memory, scanning may stop  
because of insufficient memory. Although this  
depends on the computer’s memory size, the  
possibility of insufficient memory increases if any of  
the following scanning conditions overlap.  
• [Color Mode] is set to [24-bit Color]  
• A large page size (e.g. Legal) is specified as the  
[Page Size]. Alternatively, the page size is set to  
[Scanner’s Maximum].  
• A high resolution (600dpi etc.) is specified for [Dots  
per inch].  
If an error message appears due to insufficient  
memory while scanning is in progress, exit the  
application, change the scanning conditions (e.g.  
reduce the resolution or page size) and then try  
scanning again. In addition, the amount of memory  
used can be contained by turning off [Moire Reduction]  
and [Prevent Bleed Through/Remove Background] if  
they are set to on.  
Problem 13 The scanner makes unusual noise while feeding  
documents.  
Solutions  
The paper quality of some documents can result in  
unusual noises, but this does not indicate a  
malfunction.

Software Troubleshooting  
This section describes troubleshooting problems and solutions for  
operating the supplied software (CaptureOnTouch).  
If scanning is too slow  
(1) Close other running programs, if any.  
(2) Scanning can be slowed down by memory shortage caused by  
memory-resident applications such as anti-virus programs. Close  
such memory-resident programs if necessary to free up memory  
space.  
(3) When insufficient hard disk space is available, the scanner may  
be unable to create the necessary temporary files for scanned  
data. Delete unneeded data on the hard disk to free up more  
space.  
(4) Scanning is slow if the computer’s USB port is not Hi-Speed USB  
2.0 compliant.  
(5) If using a common USB cable that is not Hi-Speed USB 2.0  
compliant, replace the cable with the supplied compliant cable.  
(6) When the scanner is connected to the computer via a USB hub  
that is not Hi-Speed USB 2.0 compliant, remove the hub and  
connect the scanner directly to the computer.  
If scanned image files cannot be opened in an application  
(1) Scanned images saved as multi-page TIFF files can be opened  
only by programs that support this file format.  
(2) Images saved as compressed TIFF files (single- as well as multi-  
page) can only be opened by programs that support the  
compressed format. This can occur with programs that are not  
compatible with CaptureOnTouch. In this case, select “None” as  
the image file compression format before scanning.

How do I use the automatic document color detection function?  
The scanner driver for this scanner includes a function that  
automatically detects the color mode from the contents of a document.  
The color modes that can be detected automatically by this function  
depend on the application and scanner driver settings you are using  
as follows.

Clearing a Paper Jam  
When paper jams occur during scanning, use the following procedure  
to clear them.  
3
Remove the jammed document from the feed side or eject  
side.  
WARNING  
Be careful when removing jammed paper. It is possible to cut your  
hand on the edge of a sheet of paper.  
1
Remove any documents remaining in the feed tray.  
IMPORTANT  
Carefully pull out the document without using excessive force. If  
the jammed paper tears, make sure that you remove any  
remaining pieces.  
Make sure the document does not get caught in the card guides  
as well.  
2
Open the feeder cover.  
4
Close the feeder cover.  
After you remove the jammed paper, check to see if the last page  
was scanned correctly, and then continue scanning.

Hint  
When a paper jam or other problem occurs while [Rapid recovery  
system] is enabled in the scanner driver, the image of the last  
document that was scanned properly is saved before scanning is  
stopped. Therefore, you can quickly resume scanning after resolving  
the cause of the interruption. As the image of the document that was  
being fed at the time of the interruption may not be saved in such  
cases, be sure to verify the last scanned image before resuming the  
operation.  
Clearing a Card Jam  
If a card is inserted into the slot at an angle, the card may jam during  
scanning.  
If a card jam occurs, try pulling the card out, or open the feeder cover  
to remove the card.  
IMPORTANT  
When opening the feeder cover to remove a jammed card, open the  
cover slowly. Opening the feeder cover too wide will put pressure on  
the card and may damage it.
