I just purchased a new Imageclass MF656Cdw color printer. I did the normal install and it prints fine, however, I can't get it to scan to computer via Wifi.
I am using Windows 11 and I installed the latest Canon drivers.
When I click on Scan > Computer then select my computer, click the Scan button, it shows it "thinking" and trying to scan, but nothing happens. The paper stays in the feeder and eventually I get a message that just says "An error occured".
What am I doing wrong? Did I do something wrong with the set-up? Is it a wifi issue?

Greetings,
Based on your description, it sounds like you're trying to scan using the ADF from the printer's LCD?
Does the copy function work?
Have you set a destination on your computer for the scans?
What drivers did you install? Did you install the MF scan utility v1.21.0.2?

I played with it a while and finally got it to work.
But now I have two new issues I can't figure out:
1) When I scan legal sized documents, it cuts off at 11" letter sized. I can't find an option to scan legal sized documents. Any help?
2) When scanning multiple pages, it downloads with separate image files for each page. Is there a way to have it scan as multiple pages in a single file?
Thanks

Good work solving the issue. I'm away from my desk. I'll look at my settings in a little bit. My multi-page scans save as one file.
