How to scan and use the scanner software. Fixes for problems that cause the Canon imageCLASS MF469x scanner to not work, and how to properly install and use the scanner software.
To use the Canon imageCLASS MF469x scanner and scan documents and photos, use the “ToolBox” software. This original software is located on the CD included with the printer.
To use the “ToolBox” software, you must have the scanner driver installed. Therefore, first install the drivers for Canon imageCLASS MF469x scanner and printer, restart your computer and after that install the “ToolBox” software.
Problems that cause the scanner to not work
The reason why the scanner does not work may be due to incorrect installation of the Canon imageCLASS MF469x scanner driver (You will read about the correct installation of drivers later in this article). Also, the reason why the scanner does not work may be due to an inappropriate USB cable or a non-functional USB port on the computer. Therefore, if you installed the software correctly, but the scanner does not work, then connect the printer to the computer via one USB cable and do not use any adapters for this. Also try connecting the USB cable to a different USB port on your computer, or use a different USB cable.
If the printer and scanner were working normally, but stopped working after updating the Windows operating system, then uninstall the previously installed driver and reinstall the driver. Be sure to restart your computer after installing and after uninstalling the drivers.

Important information! Do not connect the printer to your computer using a USB cable. First, start installing the drivers for your Canon imageCLASS MF469x printer and scanner. During the installation process, a message will appear on your monitor informing you when to connect the printer to your computer. After installing the drivers, restart your computer and install the “ToolBox” software.
A common mistake when installing a driver is that you first connect the device to your computer using a USB cable and then install the driver. In this case, the operating system detects the connected device and installs its own driver, which may not work correctly or not work at all. However, some other devices may work fine with the driver installed by the operating system. Therefore, if there is a driver specially created for your device, then first start installing this driver and only then connect the device to the computer. If you installed the driver incorrectly, uninstall the driver, restart your computer, and reinstall the software. Be sure to restart your computer after installing and after uninstalling the drivers.
