I tried flatbed scanning on my printer for the first time and received a E225 error. How do I fix this?

Hello W8n4dsn,
The 255 error would point to a problem with the image sensor for the scanner. This message would usually mean the printer needs service but, there is a chance that it is caused by the unit not getting enough power. You can try unplugging the printer from the power and then pressing the power button 10 times while the printer is unplugged. After that, you can plug the printer into a different power source and you can try turning it on. If you continue to get the error, it would mean the printer needs service.

I have multiple computers but none are connected to the printer currently.
I have a windows 7 which is what was connected when the error was created.
I have a windows 10 which I was able to use to print before the error.

Greetings,
A google search seems to indicate a problem with the contact image sensor (CIS). Some if the suggested fixes include:
-Turning the machine off, unplugging it for a minute, reconnecting to power and turining it back on.
-Cleaning or replacing the CIS
The CIS is connected by a small cable. Some have also reported success resolving this error simply by re-seating the cable.
The fixes above require some disassembly. In some cases a firmware update might also be applicable. The printer is not sold on the united states, so you would need to visit the Canon Support site that serves the region of the world where you live.
Here is an example:
