Scanners scan a document in picture format(JPEG) dot per dot. Their are complete programs out ther that will scan a document and turn it into a text fine. They are far more expensive that just copy a picture of some words on a page, Typical scanner function. I hope I have explained it well.

Hi,
Had same problem. I went into control panel and then Devices and Printers and then right clicked the MP560 printer. You'll find a "start scan" option there. Click on it. It works for me, even though my printer still won't scan using the buttons on it...
