Canon Laser Printer D530: Scanner Error Code 162.0.0 Set to "Remote Scanner"

Disclaimer: Boring and Lame Video about a new canon laser printer my uncle got at fry's for $70. It's a Canon Laser Printer D530. It includes a scanner, but it didn't work for me. Using their PC tool:
MF Toolbox, everytime I tried scanning I would get an error message saying "Cannot scan because of the following". It actually has the solution where it says ,"set to [Remote Scanner] on device.
Anyways if you own a D530 or D560 cannon scanner/printer,and are having trouble scanning. Then there's one thing you need to do before you can scan from your computer. No need to watch this video. Here are the instructions:
1) Go to the printer and press the "COPY/SCAN" button
2) Press the arrow button down once so it highlights "Remote Scanner"
3) Press the big "OK" button on the printer.
4) Now go back to the PC and use the MF Toolbox to scan anything you wont. It should now work. That's it.
Totally not intuitive at all. Most all in one printer's I've used didn't require me to set the printer to scanner mode.
Anyways.. I thought this would be helpful.
This supposedly also affects printer model Canon MF 4750 and Canon MF4880dw

thank you for making this video, we’ve already racked our brains trying to figure out how to scan with it) because usually in printers you don’t need to press anything to scan

[@aleksdude]

Glad it was helpful!
I came across this when my uncle bought it new and couldnt scan on it.
Half my videos are my older relatives asking me to fix their computer and I'll just makea quick vid.

[@Vinz3ntR]

7, almost 8 years later I find this video while looking for my MF746CX. Thanks a lot. These days it's possible to select it permanently, the scan utility will wake up the printer now so scanning is possible all the time. Thanks again for putting me on the right track.

[@aleksdude]

glad to help. I didn't realize you could keep this setting permanently. It's funny.. I don't even own this printer. My uncle just asked me why the printer couldn't scan.. so I decided to make this quick video. It did take me like 30 min to figure out though. Have a good one!

[@JairusLysyj]

So is there a way that it could be set to remote scanner all the time? where i don't have to do press remote scanner on the canon like in the video?

[@aleksdude]

@@JairusLysyj Sorry Jairus,.. I'm not aware of a way to set it permanently.

[@arkwell100]

wow. I have spent over 5 hours trying to get my scanner to scan. no where did it say anythibng about setting printer to remote scan in order to scan from scan utility!!!! THANKS MAN. THAT SOLVED IT.

[@aleksdude]

I'm sure between you and me... we've installed countless scanners. This is also my first time experiencing this. Totally not expected. It took me easily 1 hr troubleshooting since I tried reinstalling software and such. Sorry to hear the trouble.

[@gokhan2879]

Thank you very much. I was busy with same problem since 1 hour but after watch this video solved at 1 minute

[@aleksdude]

Glad to help!. My uncle who's 80 couldn't figure it out.. so when I was over.. I gave it a try. It took me 30 min and a ton of googling.

[@TheJoeltodd]

Dude, thank you. I was so happy to get my new scanner/printer and thought I got a dud out of the box. Canon dropped the ball on this one, I really appreciate it.

[@anil20231]

[@aleksdude]

+San Vgel glad it helped out. I compare myself to other boring reality tv out their like the kardashians. But I'm just glad it was helpful.

[@user-qw1om7no4v]

Muy buen video, para los que no usamos la impresora más que para escanear, la cosa está en descargar el programa Canon MF Toolbox 4.9 y seguir los pasos del vídeo guiando a la impresora

[@thurgrime5037]

Thank you, just solved my problem today with this!

[@branivojejankovic392]

Tnx!Bravo!

[@ravirajmahajan]

Thanks it even helped me in Canon MF 4750

[@aleksdude]

+Raviraj Mahajan Thanks for letting me know. I'm glad it helped you out. I'm not sure why canon decided to make scanning so un-intuitive with these models.

[@ParmanandaTh]

Thanks a ton..!! thought had to go back to Canon store..Cheers!

[@MBTechnician89]

Thanks

[@merlink100]

Thanks a lot, It works for me in Canon MF4880dw

[@shameerthika]

Thank you, you saved me

[@aleksdude]

Glad to help. Of the 30+ scanners I've ever used.. it baffles me that Canon made it this way???

[@aleksdude]

Can you clarify what you are trying to do?

[@abebegetachew727]

Thanks Man, it Helped

[@debbewojack7211]

Thank you!

[@kennatco7916]

Not helping me. This is exactly what I have been doing for my mf6100. Suddenly when I need to scan something, it decides it won't work anymore. Damned technology!

[@maxel144]

Thank you so MUCH!!!!!!!!

[@aleksdude]

glad it helped. I was so frustrated trying to get something to scan... I thought I broke the printer. Good Luck!

[@atvking]

[@peterisledins4647]

Thank you! Instructions ar egood.

[@aleksdude]

Peteris Ledins Thanks for watching. My uncle got this printer for a good deal (like $70). But it's quite troublesome to use. I've NEVER had to scan like this before with an all in one printer/scanner. Good luck and have a nice day!

[@jagdeepsingh4015]

thxxxxx sir

[@daktyl007]

THX!!!!!

[@aleksdude]

daktyl007 You're welcome. This is the first time I've ever used a scanner that required me to change settings on the actual scanner.

[@pass476]
