1. Turn on or wake up your printer, but donÂ’t press any other buttons on it.
2. On your Mac, click on the Finder icon on your Dock.
3. Click on the Go menu, and then select Applications.
4. Locate and double click on Image Capture to open it.
5. On the left-hand side, youÂ’ll see two sections named Devices and Shared. Multifunction printers and scanners connected by USB cable will appear in the Devices section and networked or wireless devices will appear in the Shared section. (If your device isnÂ’t listed in either section, then it is not detected or itÂ’s likely not compatible with Image Capture.)
6. Click on your printer in either the Devices or Shared section to select it.
7. You might need to wait while your machine warms up.
