MF644Cdw scans crooked

Manga

Hi,

 

I have a new MF644Cdw. I'm satisfied with the print quality but I'm having trouble with the scans. The scans are crooked. Not much, about 2 degrees, but you will understand that it is annoying.

Problem that I encountered both with the ADF and placing the document directly on the glass.

What can I do to fix it?

I found the problem: my printer wasn't on an even surface (wasn't flat). Now my scans are ok. I guess, considering the weight of this machine, that it's sensitive to an uneven surface. Oufff.

I registered just to say that THIS is the solution! Installed on Mac (says Windows and Linux are available) and set up a profile with auto deskew set. Does what Canon's software should do and was simpler to use so far. Will also be donating to the project to support it. Thanks for the suggestion!

We relocated to a new house. Still in town. The printer traveled in its original box, in the back seat of a 4-door sedan. Scans were slightly crooked before, more crooked now -- both ADF and platen scans.

I'd love to have a DIY way to adjust this.
