The partial workaround I found was that under Scan Utility – Settings – Document Scan – there’s an option at the bottom called Application Settings. You can't select “Desktop” or browse to another folder for the destination using the “Save In” selector. In the Canon Scan Utility settings section, under “Save In” there seems to only be two location options for folders (Documents and Images). Not sure for this difference in behavior when I initiate scans on the printer’s control panel vs the MF Scan Utility - is this a bug?Ģ) Is there a way to change the destination folder for the pdf's created by the scanner to any arbitrary folder without making duplicate copies of pdf’s? Right now it creates a folder with the day's date in my Documents folder and places the scans there. If I did this, scans were correctly given a. select Document from utility software), instead of using the printer’s control panel. The workaround I found was to initiate scanning using the MF Scan Utility software on my PC (e.g. pdf to see if that would allow it to be opened as a pdf (and by my Edge browser), but I got an error when Edge tried to open it. jpg extensions on PDF files? After scanning, I tried changing the extension of the newly created. But confusingly, under the data format option, PDF is selected.

jpg files on my computer)? Under 'Save Settings' for both 'Document Scan' and 'Scan Gear' in the Canon scanning utility, under “filename” the only drop down option is IMG. Microsoft Edge which has pdf viewing) instead of image software (like Photos which is the default program that opens. jpg's so that I can view them in a pdf viewer (e.g. exe), but that doesn't matter.ġ) When I use the Canon printer’s control panel to initiate scans, it saves the scans as.

There's also a README file listed in the Start Menu under Canon (not sure if this was installed by driver. Now there is as an 'MF Scan Utility' program as well as 'MF Network Scanner Selector' (which I got from the driver download yester). The scan utility software added another program/tab in the Windows 10 start menu under Canon. After downloading and running winmfscanutilityv1900.exe, I'm now able to scan to my computer when on my printer's control panel I press the scan button and select 'computer'.

Your link suggested that I also needed to download the scanning software utility under the software tab at. I did in fact, (yesterday) download the drivers from the page for the correct model, using the dMF260MFDriverV610W64.exe under the driver section at.

The model of my printer is Imageclass mf264dw (not mf244dw as I wrote in my original email) - sorry about the typo.
