MFP Canon i-SENSYS MF226dn
There is a problem in one of the offices with edge scans, and on a couple of computers the Canon MF226dn edge scanner stopped working.
More precisely, on the Canon i-SENSYS MF226dn MFP itself, the list of devices available for scanning no longer shows two computers from the office environment.
When the scanner driver was installed on the PCs themselves, the ScanGear scanner access program was launched and the scanner was visible.
As it appeared on one PC, the problem disappeared after installing the latest major update of Windows 10; on the other, the OS was reinstalled and the drivers were installed from the original disk.
I reinstalled the device driver from the original disk, checked access to the scanner, checked the installation of antivirus and firewall, and the Canon i-SENSYS MF226dn MFP, as before, did not display two PCs in the scan list.
The problem has been identified by the manufacturer and there is a patch available on Canon's official website that fixes the problem.
Before speaking, following the description of the correction, the problem may appear with the original USB connection of the Canon MF226dn MFP, and may also appear again when Windows is updated, after which the correction will become stuck again.
You can download the patch, which corrects the problem of edge scanning of the Canon MF226dn, from the official website.
So, for successful work of edge scanning on a PC, the Canon Tool Box program must be installed, and when the Tool Box is updated, you can come across an immediate problem - on the scanner you select the required PC, start the scanning process, otherwise it ends Ilkoy. When this happens, the Tool Box program starts on the PC.
To correct this situation, also run the above mentioned correction.

Once the problem has been resolved, one of the ways to say “Thank you” to the author is indicated.
If the problem has not been solved or additional food has appeared, you can supply them in our special section.
When contacting the service center, customers often struggle with a pressing problem: the computer does not turn on the scanner/MFP. Because the problem is popular, there are a large number of options and solutions. Below are five effective methods.
Is your connection ok?
Please note that the problem described is due to the fact that the cable is damaged or incorrectly inserted. You need to first check that the connection is reliable, that the correct USB connector is being used, and that it is working. You can try inserting the cable into the port to which the bear or keyboard is connected. Some printers have a power button, which is located on the back surface of the case. It needs to be pressed. If the connection still does not appear, then try another method to solve the problem.
Have you installed the drivers?
The computer will not load the Canon scanner (or any other company) because it does not have the required drivers installed. The nodes may not be positioned correctly. In order to reinsert them, you need to quickly remove the disk that came with the scanner. If there is no reason for this, you can quickly contact the official website of the technology. The virobnik obov'yazkovo zavantazhu drivers. It is important to choose the right ones that are suitable for both the owner and the operating system. If the drivers are installed but are not running correctly, you will need to uninstall the original version before installing them.
What parameters are set?
Otherwise, the computer does not open the scanner through the settings menu. It may be that another device is assigned to the washing. It is necessary to go before the adjustment, before the overflow of control. After this, find out the name of the scanner and click on it with the right mouse button. In the menu you need to select "Vikoristovat for washing." Sometimes this method appears to be valid.
If the problem is no longer solved, press the second button on your device. After this, you need to select the “Scanner” tab and check the boxes to set up “Autonomous robot” and “Scanner”. It’s important to clean the Chergu.
Is the system functioning normally?
Often the computer does not load the scanner through those that have become faulty in the system. Most often you have to turn your PC back to factory settings so that the problem with the scanner not working correctly will go away. Many koristuvachs point out that this method works almost immediately, but not every person can rely on it.
Sometimes it’s enough to re-engineer your computer.
What's wrong?
Sometimes there is a problem with the ports. To check them, please connect something else (keyboard, teddy bear). If other equipment requested this, it means that the problem is still in the scanner. If you haven’t paid for it, you will have to take your PC for repairs, but you will receive additional costs.
Visnovki
If the computer does not turn on the scanner, do not get angry. Before you start panicking, you need to check to make sure the cable is working and connected correctly. The printer may also be at work. Since there is no need for further installation of drivers, you must be careful during installation. Call it written there with instructions on what kind of actions you need to quit. It is obligatory when the trace is installed to pay attention to the consistency of the system drivers and technology, otherwise the problem due to inconsistency may become irrelevant. If the methods did not help, it would be better to go to the service center.
Before you take the device to professionals, it is still necessary to try all the described methods - they will not cause any harm to you. You may be able to fix the problem yourself.
Often, printer owners encounter one of the most common problems and then try to figure out why the Canon printer does not scan or stops scanning. The reason for such a problem can be different, for example, it may be in the printer, or the printer is in order, and everything is through a personal computer, as long as the drivers have been updated, or the printer and the computer have not been accurately connected. In order for us to be able to find out the cause of the problem and solve it, which our scanner does not currently work with, we need to simply look at a number of similar reasons, and after we know them, we need to try to remove them in a programmatic way. I’ll first check that the installed scanner is currently in a stable working state, and then you need to check it by connecting it to another personal computer. If this did not help at all, then the best solution, obviously, is for those who turn to the services of service centers.
Now we’ll look at the most likely reasons, so let’s talk about methods that can help eliminate them. So, what do you need to do if the printer stops scanning?
Why the Canon scanner doesn't work
To understand why the Canon printer does not scan, we first need to turn on the computer, which will need to be turned on at the same time as the device, and then connect the power cable to both devices. Check close to the hvilini, and reconnecting the life, remove the insult from the device. In such cases, the memory of the computer and multi-functional device will be cleared to allow the BFP to operate in normal mode.
If the scanning did not start, and the functioning rich-functional device begins to show different codes of errors, then be sure to remove them immediately. You can find their report descriptions in the printer instructions. In addition, the richly functional device, regardless of any model, allows you to convert scans and copies into so-called. service mode. To start it up, first press down on the device. Then press the "Reset button" Power. Next, release the first button and press it twice (for different models, the number of similar presses may be different - read more in the instructions for using the device). Finally, release Power and turn over so that the printer responds to scan commands.
Why can't my Canon printer scan?
If the printer does not scan and the recommendations above did not help you, be sure to try reconnecting the USB cable. Pull it out and connect it to another PC port. It is important to organize such a connection not through a USB hub, but directly to a personal computer. Then turn it over again and start connecting your PC to another device. If the printer becomes visible to the computer, try removing and unplugging a number of arrows.
Another reason that the printer works differently and does not scan lies in the scanner drivers, which the user simply forgot to install. The food is to blame, what can you do in this situation? Also, if your PC does not run the scanner for this very reason, download the appropriate drivers from our website or from the website of your office equipment manufacturer and install it. If you don’t know what to install yourself, then it’s best to install a new driver. In addition, the reason may be due to the installed driver, which is simply faulty. In such a situation, you will have to delete it later and install the updated version.
It scans another device – a scanner. You can convert various images, documents and other speeches into electronic format (digitize).
It’s different if the scanner and printer are combined in one device. In this case, the nutrition is completely correct (let’s ignore the curvature of the formula)
Canon printer does not scan, what should I do?
Everything is very individual, I won’t talk about the reasons for that, unless it’s more important to the patient. I’ll give you a few universal tips that can help.
Replacing the cable with a short one
In some cases, you may want to replace the USB cable with a shorter one. The trick is that the peripherals may not work correctly if the cable extends 1.5 m. Some devices work, others are suspended. Technomagic, in a word.
Installing the remaining drivers
Whatever brand of printer has its official website, you can download the remaining drivers. Some drivers that were included with the purchase become old (for example, when you change your OS) and no longer work as needed.
Correct setup and connection
Follow the instructions, do not forget to set up the printer as a “printer for installation” (you can go through the printer panel and change it)
Incorrectly flash the cartridge
Problem with the signet? If the folding occurred after refilling the cartridge, it was incorrectly stitched.
Clean the “chergu druk”
On the right is that in combination devices (printer-scanner-copier) it is technically impossible to immediately set up a function. Tobto. You can’t make and break things overnight.
On the Internet there are no sights and no food, the message “The scanner does not scan, please help!” or “having bought a new printer, but the scanner does not work. What should we do??!”, there is a lot of information for repairing and eliminating “symptoms of illness.” Fakhivtsi confirm that in 30% of cases, the entire machine “falls ill”. So there is no need to immediately run to the service center and take the printer in for repair. You can do the repair yourself.
For example, try scanning in advance to launch a software program that allows you to delete images.
Initially, scanning starts before the driver is installed. If the driver is not installed, you need to take the installation disk included in the kit and simply install the required one. If the driver is installed and ready for operation, it is completely different.
The driver is installed, but the scanner still doesn’t work
Well, the software is protected, but the devices are not identified. The first step to begin diagnosing the problem is to click on the Start panel, go to the Windows Panel. Then find the Administration item and click on it. It opens at the end with a mix of different functions. You need to know and launch Device Manager (an easier option is to go to the My Computer shortcut, right-click on the empty space and go to the Devices tab).
The item is found and one more sign appears on the monitor at the end, with a bunch of pluses and a name. It is necessary to know the scanner itself and determine what is installed. The joke “Improve the equipment” is not to blame for a lot of time. Now, click on the plus sign and the axis there, the name of the model and the white sign of the name on the yellow aphid. What does this mean? This means that the drivers are either up to date or outdated. Ale exit from the same place. We go to the Internet and find the driver we need.
You can also use the program to automatically update all drivers when downloaded. The drivers are found and installed, we restart the machine, everything is ready.
What's there to do if everything is in the device manager at work? The scanner is assigned, but still seems to be working? One more problem. For normal operation it is necessary to add a song program on the manufacturer's website. And, of course, not for a small sum. If this problem can be resolved in this very way, you need to go to the Internet and find the required security program.
Having looked at the technical problems, let's move on to the physical ones
It’s very often asked, why, with a proper device, is it possible to scan? Here are some options for solving this problem.
- Checking the life block and life wire (if the element is faulty, the scanner will not function).
- Look at the visible damage to the wire that connects the system unit and the scanner.
- Check the voltage at regular intervals (it happens that many electrical devices are in operation at the same time, and the device simply does not suffer from tension).
- Some counterfeiters confirm that scanners may not be able to process any micro-fiber items through the system (in any case, turn on the micro-fiber stove, maybe we can help).
Reverse the grounding of the electrical wiring. - I, fix, reverse the adjustment, start to blame for simply incorrect adjustments and discard before adjusting for the preparation to update the entire work.
If the device uses a USB interface, then the connection port may be the reason and installation on another port may lead to all problems.
It still doesn’t work, even though everything has already been verified?
An important role is played by the operating system installed on the computer or laptop. Most manufacturers are still releasing printers and scanners that run on the Windows 7 operating system.
Let's summarize the pouches
The simplest method of verification is to open the “device manager” and verify the controller, which is not responsible for the values of the sign in the box. The controller is responsible for operating in an optimal manner. If there is a problem with Windows, then try installing the scanner on another computer; perhaps the problem is with your “leakage”. It often happens that reference systems are simply motivated to work. The best example is a Mustek scanner, which can be used with bus controllers made by Tekram. Therefore, before installing a scanner, check with your dealer what kind of tire this product runs on or ask for recommendations on choosing a new controller.
If the stated options are not suitable and the scanner continues to be processed, there is only one way out: take it to the service center for warranty service. The service center will definitely help you and explain why.
Often, home office equipment is faced with the need to find a power supply that the printer does not scan. The cause of the problem may lie with the MFP/printer or personal computer, or with anything connected between them. To find out what the problem is and why the scanner is not working, you need to look at a number of possible reasons and try to eliminate them. If you remember that the scanner device is in the desktop, turn it over and connect it to another PC. If nothing can help you, then you will have to contact the service center.
Possible reasons and ways to eliminate them
So, why bother if the MFP doesn’t scan? First of all, pay attention to the computer, which at the same time from the device for each other needs to be turned on, after which the power cable is connected to both devices. Check close to the hvilini, and reconnecting the life, remove the insult from the device. In such cases, the memory of the computer and multi-functional device will be cleared to allow the BFP to operate in normal mode.
If the scanning did not start, and the functioning rich-functional device begins to show different codes of errors, then be sure to remove them immediately. You can find their report descriptions in the printer instructions. In addition, the richly functional device, regardless of any model, allows you to convert scans and copies into so-called. service mode. To start it up, first press down on the device. Then press the “Reset” button and the “Power” button. Next, release the first button and press it twice (for different models, the number of similar presses may be different - read more in the instructions for using the device). Finally, release “Power” and turn it over until the printer responds to scan commands.
If the printer does not scan and the recommendations above did not help you, be sure to try reconnecting the USB cable. Pull it out and connect it to another PC port. It is important to organize such a connection not through a USB hub, but directly to a personal computer. Then turn it over again and start connecting your PC to another device. If the printer becomes visible to the computer, try removing and unplugging a number of arrows. 
Another reason that the printer works differently and does not scan lies in the scanner drivers, which the user simply forgot to install. The food is to blame, what can you do in this situation? Also, if the PC does not download the scanner for this reason, then go to the manufacturer’s website for your office equipment and install it. If you don’t know what to install yourself, then it’s best to install a new driver. In addition, the reason may be due to the installed driver, which is simply faulty. In such a situation, you will have to delete it later and install the updated version.
In this case, if the MFP is different, but does not scan, you will have to cancel your setup. This is also a way to help with the most common problems: the printer does not make copies and stops responding to the operator’s commands. Vikonati will send you a follow of the menu, I will add it or quickly use special software.
In addition, devices may stop working due to a breakdown of the power supply unit - most models are connected to an electrical circuit for similar parts, as well as mobile phones. The problem can be solved by purchasing and installing a living unit with similar characteristics.
There are often situations when the printer is working, but the MFP scanner is not functioning. This problem especially occurs when a printer is working normally. According to the words of some fakers, the MFP scanner may cease to function after creating micro-materials such as objects. So, before you quickly set up a device for your friend, it would be a bad idea to turn off the microwave oven - maybe we can help you.
In addition, if the printer is working, but the scanner itself is not working, check the grounding of the wiring, make sure there is no voltage, and carefully look at the wire that connects the PC to the scanner for visible defects.
