I have the canon 70 LiDE. it works fine, but whenever i scan a document then save it on another file, it seems to trip up the system because it prompts the above message: unable to scan. make sure there is enough space on the target disk... the only thing i can do to correct the problem temporarily is to re-install the program.. does anyone know how fix this problem...
Do a "reset".
•Go into the CanoScan toolbox,
•click Settings,
•click the Defaults button on the bottom
•then click OK.
It will take a few seconds to reset and you should be good to go.
Worked for me just now. Great!
thanks!
great! thanks!
Thanks so much. This freaked me out so bad. I love you!!!
THANK YOU ! Your solution is best and easiest and it works perfect! Love you!
Same problem with the CanoScan 8600F scanner. I did the reset and good to go. Seems to be a problem with having the temp folder on another drive instead of C:\ or the boot drive. They allow you to that though the scanner program doesn't like it. You can, however Print to Canon's Printer Driver for their printers and that will allow you to declare it for a PDF and then it works. Just a lot of hassle with defective software; apparently through out all their scanners.

The problem is with the default location of the ".. Folder Where Temporary Files are Saved". In the Toolbar click on settings and change the location of the Temporary files to any other location or create a new one. This change solved my problem.
I tried this once and it was helpful but then the problem reappeared. Solution #1 worked for me.
It's definitely a software issue with Canon's Scanner software, regardless of model. You'd think they would have fixed it. Apparently not because the CanonScan8600F high end professional scanner has the same issue.

In Settings, change the temporary save folder back to:
"C:\Users\( YOUR USER NAME )\AppData\Roaming\Canon\TB50\"
SCAMMERS not allowed is the answer to your remark.
Do you have enough disk space? Delete unwanted files in your Harddisk, do a Defrag and run Scandisk. If you want the file small to be small try TIFF mode for SCanning, if Color, try JPG.

This problem is all over the internet from people who are well aware that they have oodles of disk space. It is a Canon software problem, and solution 2 works for me. I'm amazed at how many people answer this question with "have you checked your disk space?" Grrrr!!
Not the problem, I have 3 tb hard drives with 60% free. Definitely not a hard drive issue. It's software related which Canon has never fixed, not even in their high end scanners.

I have a CanoScan LiDE 600F and whenever I try to use any of the scan buttons on the scanner, I get the message: Unable to scan. Make sure that there is enough space on the target disk.
Please help. I have uninstalled and reinstalled and still have the same problem.
