Universal version seen at v2.15.19 · Reported by 2 Macs in the community.
Canon MFScanner1 is a multifunction scanner utility developed by Canon for use with Canon imageCLASS and similar multifunction printer-scanner devices. It allows Mac users to scan documents and images directly from their Canon hardware, providing a dedicated interface for configuring scan settings, selecting resolution, and managing scanned files. The app is essential for Canon printer-scanner owners who need native scanning functionality on their Mac. It is typically used by home office workers, small business users, and anyone relying on Canon hardware for document scanning and image capture workflows.</description> <parameter name="recommendation">Good news: A native Universal Binary version of Canon MFScanner1 has been confirmed running on Apple Silicon Macs. Version 2.15.19 or later is available and eliminates the need for Rosetta 2 emulation. You should update to the latest version from Canon's official support site immediately. This ensures full native performance and compatibility with current and future macOS versions on Apple Silicon. Check Canon's website or your Mac App Store if you originally obtained it there, or download directly from Canon's imageCLASS support page for your specific printer model.
Suggested Replacements
1 suggestionCanon MFScanner1 version 2.3.0 and earlier are Intel-only applications with no confirmed native Apple Silicon version available. Canon has not released a universal binary or native arm64 build of this scanner driver. The application appears to have reached end-of-life status, with no recent updates from Canon. For Apple Silicon Mac users, contact Canon support to inquire whether your specific imageCLASS printer model is supported through their IJ Scan Utility (a more recent Canon scanning solution), or consider using the built-in macOS Image Capture application, which provides basic scanning functionality for many network-connected scanners. If your Canon device supports network scanning, Image Capture may provide sufficient scanning capabilities without requiring the legacy MFScanner1 driver.
