Epson Scanner Monitor
Epson Scanner Monitor is a utility application that runs in the background and recognizes when the scan button is pressed directly on Epson scanners. It acts as a bridge between the physical scanner hardware and scanning software applications, automatically launching or communicating with compatible programs like Epson Smart Panel when the scanner's buttons are used. This eliminates the need to initiate scans from the computer software, allowing users to start scanning operations directly from their Epson scanner device. The app is typically installed alongside Epson scanner drivers and is essential for users who want to use their scanner's physical buttons rather than software controls.

1 suggestionBased on the available information, there's no clear indication that Epson has released a native Apple Silicon version of Scanner Monitor. The search results show Epson continues to maintain scanner support through their download center, but don't specifically address Apple Silicon compatibility for this utility. Since this is a hardware-specific utility from a major manufacturer (Epson) that continues to support their scanner products, you should check Epson's download center for your specific scanner model to see if updated drivers and utilities are available. If your scanner still works but you're concerned about future compatibility, consider whether you actually need the physical button functionality - many users can scan directly through Epson's main scanning software or built-in macOS scanning features without requiring the Scanner Monitor utility.
