My MP210 will only overview scan, the scan button won't highlight

traveler582 — Thu, 28 Nov 2013 15:57:15 GMT

My Canon MP210 will only overview scan, I see the document, but the scan button won't highlight.

I've tried pressing the scanner button on the machine and also through Image Capture and the Canon Icon in my dock, again, only overview scan, so I can't really scan it.

Any suggestions?

Hello.

Please try using our MP Navigator program to scan with the unit.

The program can be downloaded from our website at the following link:

Michael,

I don't know what I was doing wrong, but I now downloaded it and yes, MP Navigator Ex. 1.0 now works!!

Why the button on the scanner, Image Capture or the Canon MP Series Printer Icon in my dock doesn't work is beyond me, but I am now happy.

Thank you!
