Network scanning is a weakness because the Canon software does not install a scanner driver and does not fully do the job. Plus, the manual is perplexing. You need additional software (but one such product, XnView, fortunately, is free). Open XnView, insert document and press "scan" on the D480, then "acquire" rather than "acquire from scanner" in Xn View. Use this order because network scan mode only gives about 30 seconds to make the connection to the PC. USB Scanning is excellent, even the software, once I understood how to use it. The scanner has many options: color/b&w, resolution, file type and file name, file save location. Thus, you click on the Toolbox, make the necessary choices, close the toolbox, select Scan on the printer, insert the document in the feeder, and press start. If you want all of you scans to go to the same folder and have the same properties, you can set a default and each successive scan will have a filename like scan0001, scan0002, etc. I have no complaints...
