Why can't I scan using WIFI on my Cannon MF232W printer

[Nelsonhow]

I have a Cannon MF 232W printer.

I can print a document using the wireless WiFi connection without a problem.

But in order to scan a document I have to connect my printer to my computer with the USB cable.  

I have the Cannon supplied scanning software loaded on my computer and it appears as an icon at the bottom of my screen.

Any help you could supply would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

HN
