MF642Cdw connected via WiFI prints, but cannot scan

Hello, I have installed my Canon MF642Cdw using WiFi.  It was easy.  Printed a test page easily.  Tried to scan.  Didn't work.  Error message.  Uninstalled the printer and all software 3 times, reinstalled, but printer works, and not the scanner.  I am trying to figure out why.  I used it previously using an ethernet cable and it worked like a charm.  Is there a problem with scanning using WiFi?  Can anyone help me understand what is going on please?  Connecting using a cable is inconvenient due to a reconfiguration of the office space.  Thank you so much in advance for your help.
