Using the Machine as a Scanner

You can scan original documents by using the operation panel of the machine or an application on a computer. Whichever way you use, the scanned documents are converted into electronic file formats such as PDFs. Use the scan function to convert large-volume paper documents into files so that you can organize them easily.
To use this machine as a scanner, you must complete preparations in advance, including installation of software to a computer. For more information, see MF Driver Installation Guide.
If you are a Macintosh user, see MF Driver Installation Guide for installing the software and Canon Scanner Driver Guide for using scan functions (For Mac OS Users).
