Review: Updated review 8-18-2025: Once I upgraded my Mac Mini to Sequoia, the scanner no longer worked on my Mac and I had to use my Parallels Windows 11 partition to use it (and it was quite awkward about where it’d post the scan). BUT, the good news is when I plugged the scanner in yesterday I was offered an update to the firmware of the scanner (R10_UpdateTool.app) which took 20 minutes to complete. They warn you not to allow your Mac to sleep and not to unplug the scanner during the update process (standard fare for firmware updates). (After I copied the R10_UpdateTool.app to my applications folder I noticed the date on the file was March 18, 2024 (see picture of this attached to this review) which suggests this existed last year but wasn't released until recently? - Odd.) After that it worked perfectly on my Mac again. As before when you plug it in to a USB port on your Mac (or to a powered USB hub attached to my Mac which I tried, and it worked just as well) you get the pop up with the CaptureOnTouch Lite software which appears to be the same as before - dated Mar 30, 2020. Double click on that icon and the scanning interface appears. Select Color/Black & White/Automatic, and you can edit the location where the scanned document(s) are saved. Click SCAN and you’re good to go. I ALMOST bought a new scanner from another company and was very pleased to see the updated firmware offered up. Back to quick double sided quick and good (not excellent) quality scanning. (BTW, I found no mention of this firmware update on Canon’s support website). Thanks for the update, Canon! ------ Prior Review: Once I plugged this in to my Mac Mini (M1) chip, a popup indicated an update was required to work with an M1 computer. After update was completed, there was software "CaptureOnTouch Lite" that was installed on the Mac. Then I just loaded max of 20 pages, and selected my options in the software app, then [SCAN] it quickly scanned (both sides at once) all the documents flawlessly. Then it gives you the option to [SCAN MORE PAGES] so that if you have a document more than 20 pages, it will add them to your first scan so you end up with just 1 PDF in the end. It is very small, light, and portable. At one point after my computer had entered sleep mode, and I then tried to scan additional documents it said "DRIVER NOT FOUND" - I rebooted the Mac and it was back to scanning documents again. Duplex scanning and the simplicity of the scanning interface (and high quality scans) make this a sure fire winner. Addendum: I plug the scanner into a USB A port on my Mac Mini - I have not tried it on a USB hub, but would suspect it’d be less reliable through a hub.

Tengo w11 22H2, todo bien, la experiencia es bastante fácil e intuitiva, normalmente Canon el proceso es tardado y suele ser tedioso hasta tenerlo bien instalado, para este escáner es todo lo contrario, excelente producto, la imagen escaneada tiene buena resolución. Esperemos que cumpla con su vida útil.
