Dell 1355 MFP Scanner Driver

The Dell 1355 MFP Scanner driver helps Windows recognize the scanning function of your Dell multifunction device and communicate with it through compatible scanning software. You may need it when setting up the scanner, reinstalling Windows, or troubleshooting a device that prints but will not scan.

Key Features

• Scanner recognition: Provides the driver components Windows needs to detect and use the Dell 1355 MFP Scanner.
• Scanning software support: Enables compatible applications to request scans and receive digital copies of paper documents and photos.
• Scan setting access: Lets supported software manage available settings, such as resolution, color mode, and scan area.
• Legacy Windows options: Driver packages are available for Windows 10, 8.1, 7, Vista, and XP; choose the package that matches your operating system and system architecture.

How to Install Dell 1355 MFP Scanner Driver

1. Check your Windows version. Confirm your operating system and whether it is 32-bit or 64-bit before choosing a Dell 1355 MFP Scanner driver download for Windows. If you are comparing Windows 10/11 compatibility, note that Windows 11 is not listed among the supported systems here; verify compatibility before attempting installation.
2. Choose the correct package. Select the latest version offered for your specific Windows release, rather than assuming the newest package supports every system. For a free download, use a trusted source and check that the package identifies your scanner model.
3. Prepare the device. Turn on the Dell multifunction device and close open scanning applications. Follow the installer’s guidance on when to connect the scanner; connection timing can vary by package.
4. Install the driver. Open the downloaded file, extract it if required, and run the setup program. Follow the prompts, approve administrator access if requested, and restart Windows if instructed.
5. Test a scan. Open a compatible scanning application, select the Dell 1355 MFP Scanner, and scan a sample document. If the device is missing, check its connection and confirm that you installed the scanner component, not just a printer driver.

Keep the driver updated by checking periodically for a compatible release, especially after Windows changes or recurring scanning errors. Review any available release notes before you update, and retain the previous working installer in case you need to restore your setup.

Common Issues and Fixes

• Install fails or rolls back: Uninstall any older Dell 1355 MFP software first, restart Windows, then run the scanner package as administrator. Temporarily disable third-party antivirus if setup is blocked; re-enable it afterward.
• Scanner not detected: Confirm the MFP is powered on and connected directly by USB (no hub), then check Device Manager and ensure the Windows Image Acquisition (WIA) service is running. Reinstall the full Dell 1355 MFP driver, not just the print driver.
• Version conflicts after Windows update: Remove the existing Dell 1355 MFP scanner entry in Device Manager/Devices and Printers, restart, and install the latest Dell package matching your Windows version. Avoid mixing older and newer Dell MFP driver packages.
