CanonMX720 series FAX Driver

The CanonMX720 series FAX driver allows Windows to communicate with the fax function of a compatible Canon MX720 series multifunction printer. It is intended for users who need to send documents by fax from their computer, set up a replacement PC, or restore fax access after reinstalling Windows. Although some download listings place this device in the Camera category, this driver is for fax functionality, not camera connectivity.

Key Features

• PC fax support: Enables compatible Windows applications to send documents through the printer’s fax function, provided the device and telephone connection are configured correctly.
• Fax-specific settings: Provides access to supported fax options, such as recipient details and transmission preferences, through the driver interface.
• Windows compatibility: Listed operating systems include Windows 10, 8.1, 7, Vista, and XP. Choose a package that matches your Windows version and system architecture.
• Targeted device setup: Installs the software component needed for fax communication. Printing and scanning may require separate drivers or a full multifunction software package.

How to Install CanonMX720 series FAX Driver

1. Check your system. Confirm your Windows edition and whether it uses a 32-bit or 64-bit architecture. For Windows 10/11 users, note that Windows 10 is listed as supported, but Windows 11 compatibility is not confirmed here.
2. Select the appropriate package. Before starting your CanonMX720 series FAX driver download for Windows, verify that the package supports your exact printer model and operating system. Choose the latest version compatible with your setup rather than assuming every newer release supports older Windows editions.
3. Download from a trusted source. Use an official Canon source where available, and check the package description before saving the installer. A free download should not require a third-party driver subscription.
4. Run the installer. Close open applications, launch the downloaded file, and approve administrator permissions if requested. Follow the prompts to install the driver, connecting or selecting the printer when instructed.
5. Confirm fax operation. Restart Windows if prompted, then check that the Canon fax device is available in your application’s print dialog. Configure the required fax settings and test with a known recipient; sending a fax also requires a working fax connection.

Keep the driver updated when Canon offers a compatible update that addresses your needs. Review compatibility notes before making changes, especially on older Windows systems, and retain a working installer in case you need to reinstall.

Common Issues and Fixes

• Installation fails: Run the Canon MX720 series FAX driver setup as administrator. Disconnect the USB cable until prompted, temporarily disable antivirus, and remove any older Canon MX720 drivers before reinstalling.
• Device not detected: Confirm the printer/fax is powered on and connected to a working USB port. Restart the Windows Print Spooler service, then reconnect the cable and let Windows detect the FAX device. Avoid USB hubs during setup.
• Version conflicts: Uninstall previous Canon MX720 series drivers via Programs and Features or Device Manager, reboot, and install the correct 32-bit or 64-bit package. Do not mix older MX720 FAX drivers with the new download.
