How can I set up a scan on my laptop to connectr to my new TS3645 printer?

I just finished connecting my new cordless printer.

Short summary:

  1. Confirm printer visibility in Windows settings.
  2. Update the printer driver by downloading it from the Canon website.
  3. Troubleshoot the printer using the built-in Windows troubleshooting feature.
  4. For scanning options: a. Use the Canon mobile app on your smartphone or tablet. b. Go to Windows Settings > Devices > Printers > Manage > Scanner settings.

Hello, thank you for using Howly. I’ll be happy to help you out! May I ask your name?

Nice to meet you, *****!
May I ask you if your printer is visible in windows settings with it right name?

Customer Replay

I think so.
I mean PIXMA

And may you check again, please
Maybe it is TS3465, not the 3645?

What are some steps to update

This tool is fully automatical, you just need to launch it and it will define your printer and found a driver for you
It may ask you to confirm install, please

Customer Replay

I went into the link, press download, open the file and appear a plank black screen

What message it shows you, please?

Customer Replay

When i open the file, it says Do you want to allow this app to make changes to your device? Then i click "yes" and then appear a blank black sheet with the word " success".....

It means that driver is already installed, thank you!
Please, follow these instructions:

  1. Open the Windows Settings
  2. Type in the search field troubleshooting
  3. Choose the first option
  4. Choose another troubleshooting
  5. Look for and choose a printer
Customer Replay

It says" troubleshooting couldn't identify the problem. 1. give feedback on this troubleshooter . 2. close the troubleshooter

Thank you!
May I ask you have you tried to scan before and what the printer says to you?

Customer Replay

There is no scan icon on my laptop to scan a document

Have you tried to use a button on your printer?
If it works well then you just need to download any scan button from Microsoft Store, please
I mean the scan app.

Customer Replay

I can't see any scan button on the printer but it says on the printer packing box, Print, Copy, Scan

You may scan with your printer with canon mobile app
Or You may go to Windows Settings >Devices >Printers >Choose you Pixma TS3465 >Click manage >Choose Pixma TS3465 scanner >Open scanner
There should appear a window with scanning settings

Customer Replay

Is there a button on the printer to press for scanner?

I checked it, and there are no button, you should use Canon app for phone or Windows apps
