I downloaded Canon IJ Scan Utility from the Canon website and it works with Big Sur as well! Still kind of bummed to run in to the problem. Thanks for the tip, I'll look at that one also. It's not as good as the Canon software, but it works.

This seems to be the software that pops up most often:, though I have not tried it myself. I'm trying to decide now which makes more sense buying software for this scanner or buying a new one, kind of a bummer. I did a google search and was directed to a couple of third party scanning software sites that claim to be backwards compatible with this scanner. I went round and round on the Canon website and got nowhere. I went to scan some stuff yesterday and found out it no longer works with my new iMac. How can I make this one work?ĭang, I was hoping someone had answered your question! I just ran into the same problem. What can I do? I don't want to get a new scanner. It says the software needs to be updated but Canon is no longer supporting this scanner. If you don‘t own a copy of SilverFast for your CanoScan device yet, of course, you can get it right now.I recently updated my iMac and now I can't use my Canoscan. From prescan to optimization to digital output, you will benefit from SilverFast‘s features and highlights.

If you are going to purchase a new Canon scanner, we recommend making assure SilverFast is included with the device. SilverFast is included in many Canon scanner's packages of delivery to turn these scanners into professional devices, that deliver high-quality scans. This means the hardware is able to capture over 9.500 different shades of gray. Just by using SilverFast Multi-Exposure®, devices like the CanoScan 9000F and CanoScan 9000F Mark II can achieve a Dynamic Range between 3.6 and 3.9. The quality of some models is really impressive and suited to rival dedicated film and slide scanners. Some scanners feature an additional transparency unit, that allows them to also digitize negatives, slides and filmstrips. Canon's product range predominantly consists of flatbed scanners for digitizing reflective originals.
