I'd like to post this. You can do the same kind of thing in Windows 7.

HOW TO SCAN FROM A CANON MF-210 INTO WINDOWS 10

Actually, the answer lies in scanning INTO Windows 10 using the Windows 10 software, from the Canon. Here are the steps.

1. Power on the printer and place you source page(S) onto the flatbed or feeder.
2. START BUTTON
3. IN “ASK ME ANYTHING” TYPE “RUN”
4. IT SHOWS THE BEST MATCH IS “RUN – DESKTOP APP”. CLICK THAT
5. GIVES YOU A RUN BOX. TYPE “WFS” which stands for Windows Fax and Scan
6. Click OK.
7. Brings up the FAX AND SCAN application.
8. Click NEW SCAN.
9. BRINGS UP SCAN OPTIONS BOX.
10. IMPORTANT- Source defaults to Feeder. This works ONLY if you have placed your source page(s) into the printer feeder. Otherwise, change the Source in the app. By clicking the drop down and closing FLAT BED.
11. PRESS “SCAN” IN THE WINDOWS FAX AND SCAN APP.
12. THE SCANNED IMAGE WILL APPEAR ON YOUR SCREEN.
13. PRESS “SAVE AS” and supply a name. The App. Saves the document into “scanned documents”.

I can not figure out how to set my PC to start scanning. My printer is MX870.  I hit scan, get a message on screen that says PC Local (USB) I click ok, then it tells me to press the start button (either B/W or Color) I press B/W and get the message "set the PC to start scanning". I do not know how to do that.

Hi Dawna22,

To try and resolve the issue, you will want to ensure that you have the MP Navigator program installed on your computer.  The MP Navigator program is required when scanning from the operation panel of the unit.  This program can be downloaded from the Canon USA website here from the SOFTWARE section.

Once the MP Navigator program is installed, if you are using the printer over a network, you will also want to ensure that the Canon IJ Network Scan Utility is running on your computer.  To do this, please click on your WINDOWS button, then select ALL APPS, then CANON IJ NETWORK UTILITIES, then CANON IJ NETWORK SCAN UTILITY.

If you still experience difficulty scanning, we ask that you please contact a Canon technical support representative at one of the methods provided here for further assistance. A representative will be happy to assist you free of charge.
