Canon MP630 series
Canon MP630 series ScanGear is the official scanning driver and utility software for Canon's MP630 all-in-one printer/scanner. This software enables users to capture documents and images directly into their Mac using the scanner component of the Canon MP series multifunction device. It provides scan-to-file, scan-to-email, and other document capture workflows. The app is used primarily by small office and home office workers who rely on Canon multifunction devices for document management. As an Intel-only TWAIN driver, this software is likely outdated and no longer actively supported by Canon.

1 suggestionThe Canon MP630 series ScanGear driver (version 14.8.5) is Intel-only and appears to be abandoned—the MP630 was released over 15 years ago and Canon has not released a native Apple Silicon version. Canon's support lifecycle for this device has ended, and the company is no longer updating drivers for it. Rather than wait for an update that will not come, you should use your scanner through built-in macOS scanning options. All modern versions of macOS include native scanner support via the TWAIN compatibility layer, and most scanning workflows can be accomplished through the preview or print dialogs in any application (simply select "Scan" or use Image Capture, which is included with macOS). If you require more advanced scanning features, consider upgrading to a newer Canon printer/scanner model from their current lineup, which will include native Apple Silicon drivers. Canon's current PIXMA and imageCLASS series offer universal or native drivers and are fully compatible with modern Apple Silicon Macs.
