imageCLASS MF242dw Scanner software will not open

KellieR — Sun, 17 May 2026 20:08:06 GMT

I have a Canon MF240 UFRII LT printer/scanner. I also have Windows 11. I used to be able to click the shortcut to the software for this scanner in the tray at the bottom, but now it will not open. If I click the up arrow near the clock, it shows it is running; however, I need it to open to tell it when a document is double sided and for other things. I have uninstalled drivers and utilities and reinstalled and restated both the computer and the scanner.

Any help is appreciated!

Select software and drivers, windows then windows 11.

Install the following software in this order.

Now open Settings, Bluetooth and Printers, printers and remove your printer. Close the dialog when complete.
