Canon MFScanner2 is a scanner driver and utility application for Canon multifunction printers and scanners (MF series). It enables Mac users to scan documents and images directly from their Canon devices to their computer, providing scanning controls, image preview, and file management features. The app is essential for anyone using a Canon MF-series printer/scanner combination who wants to digitize documents and photos. It works alongside Canon's other print drivers to provide a complete imaging solution for Canon hardware users.</description> <parameter name="recommendation">Good news: A native Universal Binary version of Canon MFScanner2 (v2.15.19) has already been confirmed running successfully on Apple Silicon Macs. You should update to this latest version immediately—it will run natively without Rosetta 2 emulation and provide better performance and future compatibility. Download the latest version from Canon's official support site for your specific printer model to ensure you get the correct universal binary build.
Suggested Replacements
1 suggestionNo native Apple Silicon version of Canon MFScanner2 (v2.3.0) has been publicly released. Canon's support documentation and software downloads do not list an ARM64 or Universal Binary build for this scanner driver. The app appears to be Intel-only and no longer actively maintained by Canon—it has been superseded by Canon's newer unified scanner driver framework. Since Canon has not updated this legacy driver for Apple Silicon, your best option is to check if your specific Canon multifunction device is supported by Canon's current UFRII or imageFORMUNAS driver line, which do include native Apple Silicon versions. If your device is not compatible with modern drivers, consider contacting Canon Support to confirm compatibility, or evaluate alternative scanning solutions like VueScan (which supports many Canon models natively on Apple Silicon) or the built-in Image Capture utility on macOS, which often provides basic scanning without third-party drivers.
