Scangear code 2 156 50 - Office Equipment & Supplies

Please test it by disconnecting and reconnecting the scanner.

re-install the drivers which came along with the printer

I found the solution for 2,156,50 error message, you can read it in the link. It worked at least for my printer (Canon MG3155)

Error code 2 2156 50 on my canon pixma MG2260 printer

1) install Network ScanGear software from canon officiall site, search under ir 3300, and among all drivers there is scangear too.
2) when you install scangear, open it and press discover button, but the light scan on copier must be on, and set on ONLINE.
3) Then over eg. word2003 go to insert-pic.-from scaner or cam.-choose scangear- custom insert.

www.canon.usa it is part of the original installation CD for your scanner

the scangear by network is not for this machine .only for usb.

Hi,

Canon ScanGear CS driver error Code: 2,252,0. Error when trying to Preview scan using ScanGear in your program, e.g. Word, PhotoShop...

I had the same problem, Canon Technical were clueless on this error code. Yes the problem occured when trying to preview first however I could scan but without any preview, pointless really.

I have fixed it for Windows Xp SP3, Canon Lide 80. To Fix:

You need to download the latest ScanGear driver and Deldrv.exe from the canon website. You don't need the Toolbox, http://software.canon-europe.com/

It would help if you have Tuneup 2009 (even Trail version) for the later parts of this fix: http://www.tune-up.com/download/ just click download, you don't need to give them your email address.

1. Save these on C:
2. Remove the USB cable from your scanner - make sure it is unplugged.
3. Run Deldrv.exe, select your scanner and uninstall.

4. Now you will need to go into 'C:/WINDOWS/TWAIN_32' folder; you must remove anything in this folder - safest thing to do is CUT any items and paste them on the C: or personal folder.

5. Now the register parts - you need to purge your registry of any left over values. I found out after several attempts that this final step fixed the problem for me.

Basically through Windows XP Regedit or TuneUp Reg Editor search the ENTIRE registry for first 'ScanGear', second, 'Canon' and third if you have installed previously, 'Canon Toolbox'. Find any entries relating to any Canon scanner software and delete them. I only found around 6 or 7 entries to remove.

6. If you have TuneUp run '1-Click maintence' (correct problems) and afterwards run the 'Register defragger'. Restart.

7. On the next bootup your register should be optimised. Ok, disable any Anti-virus software.

8. Run the scangear setup winzip file you saved on C:. * it will extract a folder to C:. If get an error with the extraction, try running it anywhere else except C drive. Alternatively if you have WinRar, right click and manual extract contents. The scangear setup winzip file/folder (called lide80vst7250a_xpen) only contained a readme and setupSG.exe.

9. You must run the setupSG inside this folder. And you're done. Enable your anti-virus.

9. Now connect USB to scanner, Windows should pick it up. Open Word or PhotoShop > run the scangear program to preview.

10. Done! It worked my end.

Please let me know if this helped you.

Download the network scangear from the canon web site.
Install the scangear on all the computers you want to scan to.
On the scangear tool there is a discover icon,click that icon and wait till the ir 5000 is picked up by the network.Select the machine in the scangear tool.Now you will be able to scan to mirosoft word and exel like you normally do with a scanner.
If the scangear tool was unable to discover the machine,the network settings of the IR must be checked.
Hope this help.

First your copier must have a networkcard installed and link to your network.
Download canon network scangear from the canon website.
Install the scangear.In the scangear tool select discover and your copier will apear in the block,click on the copier and click select.
From Word or Exel you will be able to insert it as a picture by selecting the scanner.

ScanGear won't run under Vista. The scanner works with other programs. (Twain works) ScanGear fails and Vista closes it.
