The distinction between Canon print packages, scanner acquisition interfaces, product identity, and host support.
Print and acquisition are separate
A Canon multifunction device can present one interface for print rendering and another for image acquisition. The two functions can share a model identity without sharing a package component, protocol, or host API.
Compatibility evidence
A scanner package relationship depends on exact product identity, platform, architecture, connection, acquisition interface, and declared component support. A Canon printer queue is not evidence that an acquisition interface is represented.
Host acquisition models
A host acquisition interface can provide a vocabulary for image devices. Canon can also expose product-specific components or application layers. Those interfaces should be named rather than summarized as “the printer driver.”
Reference scope
Canon documentation is the source for product terminology; this page uses neutral host-interface vocabulary to explain package boundaries and compatibility language, not scanning workflows or applications.

Questions and answers
Does a Canon printer package automatically include scanner support?
No. Print and acquisition functions can use distinct package components and interfaces.
Does this page describe how to scan?
No. It explains compatibility and package roles without a scanning procedure.
