Early on in this thread you stated this: The ScanGear installer creates a folder in Applications called Canon MF Utilities. Do you own a MF4570dn? If your answer is 'no' it appears you are giving holier-than-thou advice about other users incompetance about a product you have not even tried!Ģ - You are not acknowledging the odd reality about MF Toolbox not being an application. Here are three of the fundamental issues you are missing.ġ - We're talking about a different product. There are too many other units out there that just come out of the box, connect, click on the 'install software' icon and work. Sure, solutions can be found using discussion forums, but I'd agree with ahbrobot that it misses the point to have to work so hard to make a multifunction printer work. (By contrast, I didn't spend 15 minutes total setting up my Brother unit.)Ĭ) the only document feeder hardware I've experienced that came out of the box scanning at such an extreme slant. There is really no excuse for Canon to have done such a poor job.

For my situation there was no 'other application or resource' issue. Setting up a multifunction printer should be a one or two click operation - end of effort.

It is bad form for any manufacturer to supply hardware and claim OS Lion compatibility with that kind of problem.ī) the scanning software, while it will scan through ethernet on a Mac, is, in my 24+ years of working with Mac software opinion, near the top in terms of poorly set up, clumsily organized software. Textedit is not an obscure piece of software. Canon acknowledged this and I know specifically that it would not print from Apple's Textedit. The reality of the Canon unit isĪ) it came with software that was not compatible with some of the software supplied on every Mac. I guess I'd disagree that ahbrobot or I were 'ranting', but that is probably where we will agree to disagree. Note that you have to set the Scan button on the MF to Remote Scanner. With it open, click the Save button and with the settings you want selected, press the green Start button. You can open it via Applications > Canon MF Utilities. But I wonder if the same occurs when scanning with MF Toolbox. So, I'll start the assistance by asking if you have managed to get the device to scan using MF Toolbox? Your image shows you using Image Capture and that MF Toolbox is failing. If you want to try and get this product to work then I am happy to help. But that will happen for some, generally due to some other application or resource causing a conflict and that is why companies have technical support and Apple has this forum. Yes, you and some others are having some problems with the supporting software on your system. And I do not agree that I am 'missing the fundamental issue'.

But for the sake of anyone else reading this it is important to note that I am not alone in getting the MF series to work fine when scanning, both on 10.6.8 and 10.7.2. I can see that you've had your rant about your issue on a number of threads and you are allowed to do that. I think you meant to address your response to me rather than sig.
