CanoScan LiDE 210
CanoScan LiDE 210 is Canon's driver and control software for the LiDE 210 flatbed scanner, a compact USB-powered document and photo scanner released in the early 2010s. The software allows users to configure scan settings, adjust resolution and colour mode, preview images before scanning, and send scans directly to files or applications. The LiDE 210 was popular among home users, small offices, and photographers for digitising documents, photos and small items. Canon ended active support for this model years ago and no longer provides updated drivers for modern macOS versions.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionCanon has discontinued support for the LiDE 210, meaning there is no native Apple Silicon driver from the vendor and the Intel-only software will stop working entirely when Apple removes Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028). However, your scanner itself remains perfectly functional. VueScan, made by Hamrick Software, reverse-engineered the LiDE 210's protocol and now includes native Apple Silicon support, allowing your hardware to work on modern Macs without any vendor driver at all. VueScan is a cross-platform scanning utility that runs natively on M-series Macs, supports all the same scanning modes as the original Canon software (documents, photos, film, slides), and adds professional features like batch scanning, AI-assisted image correction, and advanced colour management. It is actively maintained and regularly updated for compatibility with new macOS releases. VueScan is a one-time purchase with both a free trial and a Professional edition; many long-time users report it delivers better results and more flexibility than original manufacturer software.
