This model is supported by the 'sane-pixma' backend (which is included as part of sane-backends in most distros).

How is your multi-function Canon connected? (USB, ethernet,...)?
For USB connectivity, uncommenting the 'pixma' entry in /etc/sane.d/dll.conf should be all that is required.
For a network-attached scanner device, it should be noted that the backend implements uses Canon's BJNP protocol for discovery and scanner communication. As such, if a firewall is active then port 8612 must be open to allow communication.
From 'man sane-pixma'.

Firewalling For Networked Scanners
The sane pixma backend communicates with port 8612 on the scanner. So you will have to allow outgoing traffic TO port 8612 on the common subnet for scanning.
