After that, we will see how to scan on the MAXIFY GX7020x. Tips For A Smooth And Successful Scan Experience If you’re using the scan function for the first time, ensure that your printer’s hardware setup is complete and that it is turned on. ● Also, the most compatible and latest scanner driver for Windows or Mac is installed on your computer (to which you have connected the ● printer and from which you wish to initiate the scan job). If you’re looking to initiate the scan job from your Windows or Mac computer, ensure that the latest IJ Scan Utility is installed on it. This Utility ● is provided along with the printer’s MP driver. Loading the original to be scanned properly is paramount. The Canon MAXIFY GX7020x printer comes with both a flatbed scanner and an ● auto document feeder. If you want to perform “single-sided scanning” or scan an image, use the printer’s flatbed scanner to load the original. Similarly, use the ADF ● to perform duplex scanning and scan multiple pages of the document simultaneously. Make sure that the original’s print side is facing down while loading it on the scanner glass and facing up while loading it in the document ● feeder. Also, ensure that the original is not overloaded (for ADF) and that you load only clean, straight papers for scanning. ● Sometimes, a communication issue can lead to many scan-related problems. The communication issue mostly occurs if the devices (printer ● and computer) are connected to different networks. So, verify and connect (if necessary) the devices to the same network. We hope that you will find the information above useful. If all is set, let’s see how to scan on the MAXIFY 7020x without waiting further.
