Canon IJ Scan Utility is a handy app released by Canon Inc. that allows you to scan documents and photos with ease. The tool sports a simple interface that can be easily navigated by even the most inexperienced of users, and there are a number of features included to help you get the most out of the Canon IJ Scan Utility. It's important to keep in mind that this app only works exclusively with select models of Canon scanners and printers.

Getting Started

If you don't already have drivers installed for your scanner or printer, the Canon IJ Scan Utility can install them for you during installation of the scan tool. It's important to note that not all Canon models are supported by this utility, so there's a small chance you will need to use the Lite version of Canon IJ Scan Utility instead. The Lite version supports a wider range of device models from Canon Inc.

After downloading and installing the Canon IJ Scan Utility, you can then launch the program and you will be greeted by a minimalistic UI that makes scanning and stitching together multiple scanned documents a breeze. Simply choose your scanner/printer model from the drop-down list at the top of the app, and then choose the button that corresponds with what you want to do. If you do not see your device listed in the drop-down list, it is likely because your scanner/printer is not supported by the Canon IJ Scan Utility. In that case, you would need to download and use the Lite version of the utility.

Easy-to-Use Scan Utility

It's a good idea to have the Canon IJ Scan Utility installed on your PC if you have a Canon device that supports the software. It's extremely user-friendly and already comes with the files your device needs to communicate with your PC. The tool is very compact, and its small size makes it easy to quickly scan documents and photos to your PC.
