4.15. Canon MF455dw
Last Updated: Oct 2024
This applies to the combination of using a Canon MF455dw scanner, Windows 11 and Kurzweil 1000 v14.18 together.
Problem:
The scanner will not scan properly with the detected Windows MF450 series drivers.
Solution:
1. You will need to download and install the full driver package from Canon's website here: https://www.usa.canon.com/support/p/imageclass-mf455dw#idReference%3Dsoftware-drivers
2. Ensure that the scanner works by itself using the included Canon software, scanning in that first. Close the scanning app after testing.
3. Then launch Kurzweil 1000, and go to Settings > Scanning in the menu:
Set the following:
- Scanner Source: choose the first instance of the Canon MF450 Series (TWAIN) listed, you may have to up arrow to select it
- Document Feeder Disabled, Duplex Scanning Disabled, Hold Scanner to Never
Click Apply and then OK
4. Then go to Settings > Save Settings as Default
Attempt a Scan using the flatbed and it should work.
