Canon MP640 series Network
Canon MP640 series Network is a scanner driver and management utility for Canon's MP640 multifunction printers (inkjet all-in-ones with scanning, printing, copying, and faxing capabilities). It provides the TWAIN scanning interface that allows macOS applications like Preview and Image Capture to communicate with the printer's scanner bed. The utility handles network connectivity setup, scanner configuration, and image acquisition for document and photo scanning workflows.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionWe could not find current information about whether Canon has released a native Apple Silicon build of the MP640 scanner driver. The bundle ID and naming convention (scangear150400) suggest this is a TWAIN scanner driver from Canon's support infrastructure, likely several generations old. Canon's current printer driver support pages do not prominently list the MP640 series, which suggests it may no longer be actively maintained. We recommend contacting Canon Support directly to ask whether a native Apple Silicon TWAIN driver exists for the MP640 before macOS 28 ships in September 2028, since Intel-only scanner drivers will stop working at that point. If Canon cannot provide a native build, you may need to consider replacing the scanner with a current model that has active macOS driver support, or research whether third-party scanning solutions like VueScan (which supports many legacy Canon scanners and ships natively for Apple Silicon) would work with your hardware.
