Canon IJScanner4
Canon IJScanner4 is a scanning utility software developed by Canon for their multifunction printers and standalone scanners. It provides a user interface for scanning documents and photos directly from Canon devices to a Mac, offering various scan settings, file format options, and basic image processing capabilities. The app typically gets installed automatically when users set up Canon printer drivers and is used to initiate scans from the computer rather than using the scanner's physical buttons. It's an essential component for Canon printer owners who need to digitize documents or photos through their Mac.

1 suggestionBased on the available information, Canon IJScanner4 appears to still be distributed as an Intel-only application. Canon has been slow to update many of their scanning utilities for native Apple Silicon support, and there's no clear indication from Canon about plans for a universal binary version of IJScanner4 specifically. Since this is utility software that's typically bundled with printer drivers, your best option is to check Canon's support website for your specific printer model to see if newer driver packages include updated scanning software. If scanning functionality is critical, you might also try using the built-in Image Capture app in macOS, which often works with Canon scanners and is fully native on Apple Silicon.
