Often, when you try to scan a document from Windows by using a Canon scanner, you run into the error 5,202,54.
In some cases it is enough to shut down the scanner and restart it to solve the problem; sometimes you need to restart the computer, often a significant waste of time.
There is a faster and more effective solution that I have found after several attempts, that works always.
- First, open the “Task Manager” by pressing Ctrl-Shift-Esc.
- Then click on the “Services” tab and look for the stisvc service, that is, “Windows Image Acquisition (WIA)”.
- Look at the “PID” column and get the id of the related process.
- Then go to the “Details” tab and look for the process with that id, which will be one out of the svchost.exe processes.
- Click on that process by the right mouse button and select “End task”.
- Then go back to the “Services” tab and restart the WIA service by right-clicking on stisvc and selecting “Restart”.
At this point, you can repeat the scan without experimenting the error message in question.
