MFC455dw - will not feed document loaded on automatic document feeder, scan function enabled

bfodiman — Sun, 09 Nov 2025 07:31:44 GMT

Status monitor says "scanning" - but the ADF does not feed it. I tried feeding it manually. Also no results. The store location, my notebook computer, is enabled and functioning.,

Greetings,

There isn't a method to "manually" feed documents through the ADF. It should sense when a document is loaded but the feeding is automated.

The first thing to test is load a piece of paper into the ADF and perform a copy function from the printer's LCD. If that works, the printer's hardware is probably working normally.

To provide furrher assistance, next steps please answer @Stephen's questions.

Which version of Windows or macOS are you using? Windows 11, all updates installed
- How do you connect to your printer: via USB or Wi-Fi? Wi-Fi
- Have you installed the Canon Drivers, Software, and Utilities from https://canon.us/MF455dw-software Yes

The ADF works fine for copies.

I no longer have personalized support options - I waited too long because I was just using the (excellent) copier function for my home office, scanner at work.
