Canon MX880 series
Canon MX880 series is a TWAIN scanner driver component for Canon's MX880 multifunction printer and scanner. TWAIN (Technology Without An Interesting Name) is the standard protocol that macOS applications use to acquire images from scanning hardware. This driver bundle allows Mac software like Preview, Image Capture, or professional scanning applications to detect and communicate with Canon MX880-series scanners and printers over USB or network connections. It is typically installed as part of the Canon printer driver suite and does not function as a standalone application.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionThis is a TWAIN scanner driver component, not a primary application. It is installed automatically as part of Canon's printer driver package for the MX880 series. Whether this specific driver component has a native Apple Silicon version depends on whether Canon has released an updated driver suite for your printer. Contact Canon support or visit their macOS driver download page for the MX880 to check whether a native or Universal Binary driver package is available for your Mac's architecture. If Canon is still shipping Intel-only drivers and has not announced Apple Silicon support, this component will stop working when Apple removes Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028). As a fallback, verify that your Mac can still scan using the built-in Image Capture application (Applications → Utilities → Image Capture) — many modern multifunction printers work through this tool without requiring vendor drivers, though with reduced functionality compared to full driver support.
