Hello,
I have a CANON PIXMA MP 170 printer-scanner. Everything was working very well at first. Recently, I've encountered a problem.

When I scan a document (A4 page size), the scanned image arrives on my PC "cut up" into several pieces: 1, 2, 3, or 4 pages, depending...

I went into the menu to set the paper size to A4, but the problem persists!

Thank you for your help!!!

On this model, I'm not exactly sure, but on mine, in the settings, you just need to select (for the area to scan) "the whole bed" and not let the software determine the areas where there is something to scan.

As for the lost CD, it's not a problem; you just go to the Canon website and download its content ................

I found the configuration "plateau" but I don't have the option to say "the whole plateau", so I checked the "default" box.
I just did 2 scans and it works!
I'm crossing my fingers that it lasts...
THANK YOU ALL for the advice!

We need to adjust the brightness so that it detects the entire page and doesn’t focus in on a specific area.

Hello NATREK,
Welcome to the forum.
Have you possibly tried reinstalling the software/printer driver in question?
If you were to undertake this, there are certain rules to follow first.
Uninstall everything related to this printer, drivers, software, etc.....
Nothing regarding this printer should be present on the computer.
Clean the registry and the traces left by the uninstallation.
Disconnect the computer/printer connections.
Restart the computer.
Proceed with the reinstallation from the CD if you have it.
Only connect the printer when the procedure specifies.

Hello glg29,
Thank you for your message.
The problem:
- I don't have the CD (lost by my son who owned the scanner...)
- I know how to uninstall, but "cleaning the registry and the traces left by the uninstallation"??? that's a bit like Chinese to me...
Thank you again for your help.

I had the same issue. In the scanning settings, before clicking on scan, change the Profile type from "photo" to "Document."
