Canon IR C3100N Scanner Setup

Hi, I'm just trying to figure out how can I setup this printer to scan documents to a specific folder on an specific pc. I used to work with some Minolta machines and you have to create a display button for each user or destination but I don't know how to do it with this machine.

I'll be waiting for your answers.... THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!

    Hi, Thanks for your answer, but I don't see the address book button anywhere on screen. Could be that the address book is an additional option?

    Great!!!! Thank you very much. I did it how you told me, but instead of using Word, I had to use Adobe Acrobat Pro. Office 2007 doesn't allow you to insert an image from the scanner. Anyway, thanks again!!! Very helpful.

Hi Its fair simple, if you are scanning to windows PC, Create a folder called scans in your C:\ drive. Share it and give all the permissions. Thereafter log on to your copier using the IP address in your internet explorer. Go to address, click address book one, click the second tab on your left saying register new address. thereafter enter you name, then change from FTP to SMB and then host name will be your computer name\ip address, followed by scans(\\computername\scans)just like that. followed by your username and password.
Thanks

    ok if you dont see the address book button on the screen ur pc screen or the copier,you dont have a universal send kit. it is an additional option. you can how ever still scan using the TWAIN method. you can downlaod the twain driver called Color network scangear from www.canon-europe.com. once installed you click start, all programs, colour network scangear, and open the utillity. once opened click on discover and wait for it to detect your machine. once detected click the ip of the machine and press select. thereafter test connection. once you got a connection the utilly is setup. you can exit it. open word click insert, then picture, then from scanner of cam and you will see the scan gear.

Need help to setup the scan fuction for Canon Image runner 4570

Do you have the send feature or just scan? If just scan you need to install scan gear to the computer you want to scan to and configure scanner, than can pull scan fro canon to any viewer installed on your computer. If you have the send feature, make a folder on the c drive of the computer , share the folder with all permissions. Touch send on screen, reg. new address, touch file, arrow down to smb file, browser button to see your network, highlight your network, touch down highlight your computer name, enter user name and password as shown, log in to your computer from canon and highlight the shared folder and hit ok. you should now be able to send to that shared folder

HOW TO SCAN THE DOCUMENTS IR4570 TO P.C ????

On the device you want to chose the SCAN option and set it to ONLINE.
You then need an application that does TWAIN scanning and aquire image data. Set your scanner device yo "Canon Color Network Scangear".
A freeware product you can use to test is irfanview
You would otherwise need to do an aquire / TWAIN scan from MS Word or Adobe Acrobat (full/pro) or another software that does TWAIN scanning.

Setup scan to pc function

Find the scanner on the network... you can use a tool like Advanced IP Scanner to search the subnet and then just hunt down the IP that belongs to the device -- it may not have a name registered.  Visit each potential IP via browser (http://192.168.1.50), one will show you the Kyocera web page.  The device has two, one for printer, one for scanner.. each one on its own IP....
That's how far I've got with mine - i was hoping it supports SMB scanning, but it may not.  So now I am looking for the rest of the setup.

Scanning with Canon Pixma MP450

I just did it then! With help from solution posted Feb 08 leave the acual scanner alone can be done from the computer. Steps:

1. Go to - start - control panel - printers & hardware - scanners.
2. Once inside the scanners folder just click once on the scanner icon (mine is called WIA Canon) so it is highlighted.
3. Then click on the toolbar 'File' > 'scan', then select the correct program from the list (mine was MP Navigator 2).
4. Use the MP Navigator program to select "scan photo/document", follow the instructions. At the bottom if the window that is open you can change the document type to PHOTO or DOCUMENT!

This is where the problem lies it is scanning the document as a photo which is why it is coming out as multiple documents.
