Samsung Scanner
Samsung Scanner is a driver and utility app for Samsung flatbed and multifunction scanners, including models like the SCX-3400, SL-M2070, SL-M267x and SL-M288x. It provides the software interface for connecting compatible Samsung scanners to macOS and managing scan settings, resolution, color depth, and output formats. The app handles the communication between the scanner hardware and the Mac's operating system, allowing users to digitize documents and photos. Like most printer and scanner software, it has historically been updated inconsistently by Samsung as macOS versions change.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionSamsung has not shipped a native Apple Silicon build of the Samsung Scanner app. The Intel-only version still runs under Rosetta 2 today, but Apple is removing Rosetta in macOS 28 (September 2028), so this app will stop working on that release—just over 2 years away. Rather than wait for Samsung to update this software (which is not guaranteed), consider switching to VueScan from Hamrick Software. VueScan is an actively maintained, universal scanning solution that runs natively on Apple Silicon and supports over 100 Samsung scanner models, including the common ones like the SCX-3400, SL-M2070, SL-M267x, and SL-M288x. VueScan has reverse-engineered Samsung drivers so it works even when Samsung no longer provides updates. The software costs under $100 for the Professional edition (there is also a free Standard edition with more limited features), and users report it often offers more advanced scanning controls than Samsung's own software. Simply download VueScan, select your Samsung scanner model during setup, and you will be scanning again within minutes—with the added benefit of a solution that will keep working on future macOS releases.
