Hi,

It is possible that a security system or firewall is not allowing the printer to directly access the computer. As a test to make sure the scanner is working correctly, you will need to try and scan using IJ Scan Utility. 

If you are running Windows, the program should have installed with the printer/scanner driver and on most MacOS systems, you can install the program by itself. 

Please let us know in your reply if you were able to scan using IJ Scan Utility. 

We look forward to hearing from you.
