PIXMA G7020 Printing defaults to scanning

bgagne — Fri, 28 Oct 2022 15:16:31 GMT

Hello, I have a Canon Pixma G7020. When I try to print anything from either the cassette or the rear tray, the printer will default to scanning mode as if I have placed paper on the scanning platform. The firmware is up to date and the only thing I haven't done is reset all of the settings on the printer. Appreciate any assistance.

Thank you.

Brent

Hello. It is a Windows machine. I get code 3412 which is " scanning original has failed" . However, I am not trying to scan a document. I am trying to make a copy from either the top or rear feeder tray. I can scan a document to the computer but cannot make a one for one copy.
