Inconsistent ability to scan using MP Navigator EX on MX310 on Ma

I repeatedly get "scan failed" messages when trying to scan using the MP Navigator EX (MX310 series) on my mac (running snow leopard). sometimes it works, after trying it multiple times, but most times it doesn't. i just keep pressing "Scan" until it eventually works, but it's annoying. any tips?

I tried to scan but it says pc scan standby What does it mean?

You are in the mode to initiate the scan from your PC. Go to your computer and use MP Navigator EX software and select the 1-click feature then "save to PC". it will autostart your scan for you and ask you to save it to your computer.

There are no directions on how to use the scanner on the MX320 printer. How do I know if I have the right program and if I have how do I manage to scan?

Hi,

Scanning Methods
You can select from the various scanning methods.
>If You Want to Edit or Print the Scanned images MP Navigator EX enables you to edit the scanned images, such as optimizing or trimming. You can also start application software from MP Navigator EX to edit or print the scanned images. For detailed operations of MP Navigator EX, refer to the Scanning Guide on-screen manual. You can also use the Operation Panel to open MP Navigator EX as well as open it using the computer.

>If You Want to Scan Originals with Advanced Settings ScanGear enables you to scan originals with advanced settings such as the resolution. For detailed operations of ScanGear, refer to the Scanning Guide on-screen manual.
Besides the above-mentioned methods, you can use a TWAIN- or WIA- (Windows Vista and
Windows XP only) compliant application software and the Control Panel (Windows Vista and
Windows XP only) to scan originals with this machine. For detailed operations, refer to the
Scanning Guide on-screen manual.
>Opening MP Navigator EX using the Operation Panel
>>(Macintosh only) Prepare your computer before scanning. This operation is not necessary for Mac OS X v.10.4.x.User's Guide on-screen manual.
>>Turn on the machine.
>>Load the original document on the Platen Glass or the ADF.
>>Press the SCAN button, then press the Color or Black button.

I found these directions from your Canon PIXMA MX310 User's Manual online (page 24). Other functions are available for reading.

To make sure you have got the correct program that you are using, uninstall all associated programs from your computer thru "Programs and Features" that can be found in Control Panel. Then, you may download your printer's drivers and softwares thru this LINK. Make sure to download the appropriate version for your Windows.

NOTE: Keep in mind that the drivers and softwares are limited to the manufacturer's release.
