Sometimes desktop shortcuts break. Open the Canon Utilities folder in your Applications (Mac) or Start Menu (Windows) and run IJ Scan Utility directly. If it opens from there, recreate the shortcut.

If you have multiple Canon devices installed, the utility may be trying to communicate with the wrong one. Open IJ Scan Utility → Settings → Product Name and select the correct scanner model.

Security software occasionally blocks scanner communication. Add IJ Scan Utility and the Canon driver processes to your firewall or antivirus exceptions list.

6. Reinstall IJ Scan Utility
