Canon MX340 series
Canon MX340 series ScanGear is a scanning utility bundled with Canon's MX340 multifunction printer. It provides a graphical interface for acquiring scanned images directly from the connected printer, with controls for resolution, color depth, document size, and destination folder. This driver is typically installed as part of the Canon printer support package and is intended for users who need to digitise documents and photos using their MX340 device.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionThe Canon MX340 is a multifunction printer released around 2011, and support for this model has been effectively discontinued by Canon. No native Apple Silicon build of the MX340 ScanGear driver has been released. The Intel-only driver will stop working when Apple removes Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028) — less than 2.5 years away. Contact Canon support to ask whether a native build is planned; if not, you will need to replace the printer before that deadline, or switch to a third-party scanner utility that supports your device. Alternatively, if your MX340 supports network scanning (eSCL / WSD), you may be able to use the macOS system scanner in Preview or Image Capture without the proprietary driver, which provides native Apple Silicon support on all modern Macs.
