 Installing the Ij Scan Utility

You can download the Scan Utility software to your computer in two ways. If you have a software installation CD, you can begin the installation process by simply inserting it.

  2. You will now be prompted to enter the printer or scanner’s model number. If you’re unsure of the model name, you can verify it by inspecting the device’s backside label.
  3. When you begin typing the name, the list will populate with your printer model. Select it.
  4. To continue, click the Drivers & Downloads tab. The MP drivers package comes with the Ij Scan Utility.
