Canon MP640 series
Canon MP640 series ScanGear is the scanner driver and utility software for Canon's MP640 multifunction printer/scanner devices. This application enables Mac users to scan documents and photos directly from their Canon MP640 printer into their Mac, with support for image adjustment, color correction, and direct scanning to PDF or image formats. ScanGear is essential software for anyone relying on a Canon MP640 printer for regular document scanning and image capture tasks. The MP640 was a popular consumer-grade multifunction device, though it is now several hardware generations old.
Suggested Replacements
1 suggestionCanon MP640 ScanGear version 15.4.0 is Intel-only software, and Canon has not released a native Apple Silicon (arm64) or Universal Binary version for this aging scanner driver. The MP640 hardware itself is no longer actively supported by Canon. Rather than wait for a native update that is unlikely to arrive, you have two practical options: (1) Continue running the app under Rosetta 2 emulation for as long as your Mac supports it, (2) Upgrade to a current Canon multifunction printer model that includes native Apple Silicon drivers and current macOS support. If you need to continue using the MP640 hardware, check Canon's official support page to see if there are any newer driver versions beyond 15.4.0, but be prepared that the app may eventually become incompatible with future macOS releases. For users ready to replace the hardware, modern Canon PIXMA or imageCLASS models ship with native-compatible drivers.
