Chrome OS doesn't support network scanner sharing the way Windows and Mac do, and the CanoScan Series has no built-in Wi-Fi. For scanning on a Chromebook, use the wired USB connection above, or scan from a shared Windows or Mac host and access the file through your cloud storage.

1. Connect the CanoScan Series to the Chromebook using the included USB cable
2. Open the built-in Scan app from the Chrome OS app launcher
3. Select the CanoScan Series from the list of detected scanners
4. Choose your scan settings (resolution, file type) and select Scan
5. Save the scanned file to your preferred folder or Google Drive

To scan over a network on Linux, set up saned (the SANE network daemon) on the computer physically connected to the CanoScan Series, then connect to it from another Linux machine using net backend in SANE. This requires some manual configuration of /etc/sane.d/saned.conf and /etc/sane.d/net.conf, and is best suited to users comfortable editing config files.

1. Install SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) through your distribution's package manager, for example sudo apt install sane sane-utils
2. Connect the CanoScan Series to the computer with the USB cable
3. Run scanimage -L in a terminal to confirm the scanner is detected
4. Open a SANE-compatible scanning app such as Simple Scan or XSane
5. Select the CanoScan Series as the source and run a test scan

The CanoScan Series can't connect directly to an iPhone or iPad, since it has no wireless hardware and no Lightning or USB-C scanning support. To get a scan onto an iOS device, scan the document on a connected Windows or Mac computer, then transfer the file over AirDrop, email, or a cloud storage app.

The same limitation applies on Android — the CanoScan Series can't connect to a phone or tablet directly. Scan from a connected computer, then move the file to your Android device using cloud storage, email, or a USB cable.
