Printing works but scanning fails: features and components

Check the possible causes in order. If connection and device checks pass, use the exact model guide to investigate driver compatibility.

Confirm scanning support

Print-only devices cannot scan. On a multifunction device, check the supported scanning method and original location.

Separate print and scan software

A basic print driver does not necessarily install manufacturer scan features. Check full software or separate scanner components.

Check the original and connection

Review original placement, ADF direction and the scan app local-network access, then follow the model instructions.
