Greetings,

I'm trying to get my Canon Pixma MG7520 to scan documents to my Windows 10 laptop.
When I push the touch panel on the printer, I receive the following error message:
"set the pc to start scanning"


How do I do that? Please advise.

 

 

PS - The IJ Scan Utility works fine.  I just want to be able to the the touchscreen panel on the Pixma MG7520 printer.
Below is a screenshot of my "Save to PC (document)" setting....

I finally figured it out!

The driver and firewall was always working properly, and the printer was always connected to the LAN network.

So how did I fix the printer??

In order to use the scan function on the Pixma MG 7520 touch screen panel, all I need to do is run "IJ Network Scanner Selector EX" in the background.
That's it. Simple as that.
