Canon Pixma MX922: How to Scan
Before you start scanning, you have to have the proper software installed on your PC. When you buy Canon Pixma MX922, it comes with a disk that contains the drivers and software packages that are required to connect the printer with your PC and for scanning documents to your computer. However, if you lost the disk or your PC doesn’t have a DVD drive then you can head over to the official Canon website and get the required software and drivers. Confused about how to do so? We’ve got the steps for you ─ tag along.
- Make sure you have installed the software for your Canon MX922. You can download and install it from Canon’s website.
- It’ll automatically detect your operating system and give you the driver and software accordingly. However, check the “Operating System” field to ensure that the operating system detected is correct. If your Operating System (OS) does not display, please select from the drop-down list below, to access available drivers, software, firmware, and utilities.
- Finally, download the ‘Full Driver & Software Package’ and install it on your PC.
