I use to have a HP printer/scanner that was much easier to use but it broke after a couple of months. I liked it because I could chose a file name that meant something to me. With the Canon I am stuck with meaningless numbers for the file name (but it will let me scan multiple pages into one file). The HP was just one file for each page. Both Canon and HP are hard to use and not intuitive. Lots of steps to memorize. The video did help.

That is so helpful!!!

[@nickscomputerfix]

Thanks.

[@Frank-SMCPrez]

Nick, maybe you can answer my question that even Canon could not. Does this model (MG2522) have the capability to scan multiple, two-sided pages using the auto-document feeder? Scanning one-sided docs, one at a time, by placing it on the glass, closing the lid and hitting start each time is bananas in 2024.

[@nickscomputerfix]

Multiple two sided scans is not support. One sheet, one side at a time for this printer scanning function.

[@Frank-SMCPrez]

@@nickscomputerfix Appreciate the quick-turn response. Functions seem on par with sticker price. Thanks again…

[@hastiin]

I have the Canon MG2522 and installed the programs, BUT the IJ Scan Utility did not get installed. Would you have any idea why that happened? I tried searching on Canon support website but nothing.

[@nickscomputerfix]

Here's a link to Canon support for IJ Scan Utility and how to download and install it: support.usa.canon.com/kb/index?page=content&id=ART174839

How do you scan an ID like front and back to print in the same page?

[@nickscomputerfix]

This printer doe not print on both sides of paper at same time.

[@yogibear6084]

What if my start menu does not show a Scan link under Canon Utilities?

[@nickscomputerfix]

It's included in the latest Full Driver and Software package for Windows from Canon website: www.usa.canon.com/internet/portal/us/home/support/details/printers/support-inkjet-printer/mg-series/pixma-mg2522?tab=drivers_downloads

[@mohammadmalekniaz6670]

size of a very small document I scan with my new Canon Pixma MG2522 is around 13 MB size. It is larger than my previous scans of the same size documents around 2.3 MB with my previous HP scanner. My email allows attachments size of 10 MB max. Due to the large size of the scanned document; I cannot attach it to my email and send it. How can I reduce the MB size of scanned document so I can attach it to my email and send it ??

[@augusthawley5504]

There are websites and whatnot that you can use to bring down the size of a document, but the easiest way to reduce the size of any photo or document is just to take a screenshot of it and send that screenshot instead!

[@FrankZen]

Canon is really terrible at providing scanning software on their website. Any idea where I can find their utilities on their website? I didn't get a CD with mine!

[@nickscomputerfix]

It's included in the latest Full Driver and Software package for Windows from Canon website: www.usa.canon.com/support/p/pixma-mg2522?tab=drivers_downloads It should be the first one on the list of software & drivers.

[@katytaylor0]

What about for mac? Same concept?

[@nickscomputerfix]

This printer is not Apple mac compatible. The Canon MG2522 has no WiFi. However, the Canon TS3322 printer has WiFI and is compatible with Apple Mac's: Here's my video on the TS3322: "Canon Printer PIXMA TS3322 Printer Review, Setup & Print Test - 2020 - (Not a Unboxing Video)!" kzbin.info/www/bejne/nGrHeH2paLh0Yw

@@nickscomputerfix thank you so much! Very helpful video and very helpful comment. You’re the best!!!

[@jihad221fast5]

I love u Nick!!!

[@augusthawley5504]

This is such a simple and concise video! I got my Pixma secondhand exclusively to scan photos (because it's much more affordable than a standard scanner), and because it's secondhand it didn't come with any instructions. Great video!

[@nickscomputerfix]

Thank you very much for your nice comment.

[@nanaconventa1337]

fun fact, there is not a single word about this app in instructions

[@debbiereed8341]

Thank you!

[@nickscomputerfix]

You're welcome!

[@lunaroxx3091]

Thank you for the video. I have had my printer for a couple years now and have yet to figure out to scan until now. The instructions that come with the printer are not helpful at all.

[@nickscomputerfix]

Glad it was helpful!

[@nanaconventa1337]

thanks, canon does not say anywhere in instructions what kind of app is installed with drivers to scan stuff.

[@nickscomputerfix]

You're welcome.

What the heck, I have no cannon utility button like you

[@nickscomputerfix]

The app/utility is included in the latest Full Driver and Software package for Windows from Canon website: www.usa.canon.com/support/p/pixma-mg2522?tab=drivers_downloads It should be the first one on the list of software & drivers.

I need to find the document in my computer in order to attach it to an email. How can I find it? It did not save in my downloads folder.

[@nickscomputerfix]

Open File Explorer and look in Documents folder or do a search in File Explorer for your file.

[@aaronbreugelmans6349]

hey nick, i was wonder if it wasa possible to add more USB inputs in a laptop and if you could make a video about it.

[@nickscomputerfix]

You can buy a USB hub with multiple USB ports that will plug into your laptop USB port so you can always have your Canon printer connected to your laptop.

[@ItsEllaYT12]

What for chromebook? and i dont know where to find the adress

[@nickscomputerfix]

Unfortunately, Chromebook is not supported by this Canon MG2522 printer. Chromebooks use Google Cloud Print to print, so the printer needs to be Google Cloud Print compatible. It also needs to be a wireless/wifi connected network printer and not USB connected. The MG2522 does not support Google Cloud Print and is not Wireless. However, the Canon TS3322 is Chromebook compatible: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nGrHeH2paLh0Y6M
