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.

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.

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.

Connector of the
Computer
AC adapter (sold separately)

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.

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.

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
cloth.

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
needed. (See p. 98.)
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.

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.

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.
