PIXMA TS6520 How to scan at 1200 or 2400 dpi

[cgoyet]

I just bought a Canon Pixma TS6520 which says has 1200 x 2400 dpi.  When I open up the basic scanner controls, the highest dpi I can input is 600 dpi, not any increment higher. I wanted to scan some old photo for enlargement that would require a higher resolution.

Is there other program I should use to scan at 1200 or 2400 dpi? 

I still have 3 weeks to return it...

Thanks!

Image garden scan and scan utility only scans to 600 dpi. Use the Scan Gear program (which is on the scan utility panel)  and you can set the scanner to 1200 dpi.

Greetings,

What operating system version and build are you using the printer with?  How is your printer connected and to what?

Which software drivers and utilities did you install?  I'm including a link to the product's support portal so you can give us specific information.

This may simplify the  settings for you if you have the software installed for windows, if not you can get it here, USA support does not have this on their site due to some error I think, look for the download button on the page:

I'm using a wifi connection to the printer scanner, and on my PC (windows 11) I'm running the only software that was automatically installed when connecting my printer. It is called Canon Print. The cannon support web site provide a downloadable application only for iOS and Android.
