Scanner Drivers for Windows We recommend that you download the scanner driver from the manufacturer's website. Typically, you can find the scanner driver on the CD that came with the scanner. However, if you have lost the disk, you can download the necessary drivers from the manufacturer's website. Below you will find links to search for different scanner drivers. We recommend that you use TWAIN drivers instead of WIA drivers.
If you download the Canon MF Scan Utility application on your computer, you can scan multiple pages and save as a single multipage pdf, BUT you have to initiate the scan from the Canon MF Scan Utility application on the computer, not on the actual printer/scanner device.
Place all the documents on the feeder and then, from the Canon MF Scan Utility application, click on "document". It will begin to scan, and then once it is done, it shows all the pages. Under each scanned page, it says the page number. (It looks like it's going to be multiple pdfs, but it isn't as long as the data format section underneath only says "pdf" and not "pdf -divide into single page files") If all the pages have appeared, click "ok." It will then make them into a single pdf file. Side note: I did enable "check scan results" before, but I don't know if that affected the outcome.
In order to scan a multipage document, the MF642Cdw's scanner driver (the recommended) and software (MF Scan Utility) will need to be installed on the computer. They're available, free of charge, at the following page:
Once they're installed, you may use the MF Scan Utility to set each scan option (for its own buttons and for those on the printer) as desired. The "PDF" option will scan all sheets scanned in a single session to a single PDF file, while the "PDF (Divide into Single-Page Files)" works as named.
Try enabling the Check Scan Results setting for the relevant scan type. Keep in mind, changing the scan option for one scan type will not have any affect whatsoever on the other scan types (i.e. changing this setting for "Document Scan" will have no affect on the scan options on the "Color" or "B&W" Scan from Unit options, and vice versa). Each scan type you wish to affect will need to be set individually, and the settings window re-entered after each such change.
I absolutley hate creating e-waste and did a TON of research to help avoid a situation like this. I even skimmed the entire 773 page user manual before purchasing and while I still give credit to Canon for writing a great manual, I was left feeling like manual duplex scans were not going to be an issue and that we could save $130 over the MF644Cdw.
I too cannot believe duplex scanning is not available. My previous scanner of 10 years had this and I assumed all modern scanners had this functionality. I have had the 642 for over a month so returning to get one with this functionality is not possible. An upgrade to the software to enable this would be great - but for now I will just have to keep using the 10 year old Xerox scanner and delegate the new Canon to print only functionality. Very dissapointing...
AirPrint is a technology built into most popular printer models, including those listed here. With AirPrint technology, it's easy to print full-quality photos and documents from your Apple device. AirPrint features include easy discovery, automatic media selection, and enterprise-class finishing options.
The printers, print servers, and USB-only devices listed here are provided by each manufacturer and updated regularly by Apple. If you don't see your model, check with the manufacturer for more information.
To use AirPrint, you don't need to install an app, additional drivers, or other software. Just connect the AirPrint printer to a Wi-Fi network, then choose it in the print dialog when you print from your Mac or print from your iPhone or iPad, for example.
Similar to AirPrint printers, these USB devices allow you to print or scan without having to install additional drivers. Because they require a USB connection, they support driverless printing or scanning only from Mac computers.
