PIXMA TR8620a: Unable to scan and save to computer from the control panel

mws_1984 — Wed, 08 Jan 2025 01:55:44 GMT

Canon TR8620a

Windows 10

USB connection

I am having an issue scanning to computer from the control panel. I get this message. I have gone into the settings to be sure it is set to save to the canon scanner folder. Yet it still gives me this. I can scan to print just fine. My local USB network is established. I can do everything but scan to file.

Updated the post with the info. Just set this up after the same printer I had decided to not print properly after 2 years. No support was given at all for that. Several cleanings and test prints did nothing. So just bought a new one. Hoping this one lasts longer than 2 years.

Greetings,

The error message indicates the path to the folder where the printer is trying to save your scanned file or document to does not exist.

This is a configuration issue, not a problem with the device.

All you would need to do is specify a path to the destination folder where you want scans to be saved to.

Seem to have figured it out now. I guess the existing folder I had from the previous same printer it was not letting me go to that one.
