Q&A for How to Scan a Document on a Canon Printer

When you start the scanner wizard, or whatever you choose to use, you will notice the resolution set to a number (ie: 300pixel/inch). Increase that for a better resolution and size. Keep in mind that this will also increase the scanning time.

Once you have scanned the document and saved it to your computer, open up a blank email and use the attachment icon to attach the document file to the email.

If you have a smartphone you can download the Genius Scan app. It allows you take a picture of a piece of paper and then it converts it to a .jpg that looks like a scan. From there you can send it to your computer through email or dropbox.

No, it does not, but some printers will show error message that could prevent the scanner programs from working.

You could either print the scans out and put them in a book yourself, or you could order a book from a service like Shutterfly. You can upload your photos to their website and then have them print a book for you.

You can use services such as Firefox Send or WeTransfer to get a link that you can then email to them. They will then need to click the link and download the file.

Ensure there's a check in the "Combine into single document" checkbox beneath the Format drop-down menu. Load each page and press "Scan" for each page before exiting the scanner menu. The scans become pages 1, 2, 3, etc. in the resultant PDF document.
