How to Scan a Document on the Canon MP530
Power on the MP530 printer.

Launch the MP Navigator program from your computer. This is the scanning application that was installed along with your printer installation.
Click the 'Scan Photo/Document' button at the top of the window.
Click the 'Scan' button at the bottom of the window, and then wait for the printer to scan your document.
Click the 'Save to PC' button at the right side of the window.
How to Repair an HP Officejet Scanner Failure
Place a color document face-down on the scanning glass and close the lid. Press the 'Start Color Copy' button, then lift the lid slightly during the scan to see if the scanner's light is working.
Take the printer to a service shop if you do not see any light coming from under the scanning glass. If you do see a light, unplug the printer's power cord from any surge protectors of other devices and plug it directly into an electrical outlet.
Move the printer to a different room and still plug it directly into an electrical outlet if you see the same error again. Power cycle the printer by unplugging the power cord with the printer turned off, waiting 30 seconds, then plugging the power cord back into the printer and turning the printer on.
Partially reset the printer if you continue seeing the error message. Unplug the power cord, then hold the '3' and '#' buttons on the control panel as you plug the power cord back in.
Do a semi-full reset on the printer by unplugging the power cord from the printer. Hold the '#' and '6' buttons on the control panel down while you plug the power cord back into the printer.
Take the printer to a repair shop if the error still displays.

How to Scan a Picture on an All
Blow the dust from your scanner and printing area with canned air. Clean the scanner bed and the underside of the document lid with a damp, lint-free cloth before scanning.
Get your computer and all-in-one printer turned on and talking to each other. Open the scanning software on your computer if needed. If not, you can use the controls on your printer to run the show.
Lay the picture to be scanned face-down on the glass. Square up the photo using the guides that are usually located along the edges of the scanning bed.
Close the lid.
Go for a higher dpi (dots per inch) count if you plan on displaying the scanned image at larger-than-life size. Otherwise, you can select a lower resolution.
Click the scan button on your computer's scanning software window. Some all-in-one printers need you to press the scan button on the printer itself; check the manual before using.
Get a preview of the scanned image up on your computer monitor. This might happen automatically depending on your software settings; if not, you will have to prompt your computer to display one.
Correct small defects such as red-eye in the image. Save extensive changes for later with dedicated photo-editing software.
Accept the scan and save to your hard drive. Remember to put your picture away.
