…for some printers, like the Canon CanoScan LiDE 20 and LiDE 30, the TWAIN-drivers are not included in OSX. – then it will be listed in the previous (“Print & Scan”) System Preferences window, and if you select it (and you put a piece of paper or a photo in the scanner), a Scanning Preview window will show up, allowing you to scan your document to file or eMail or something else… – if your scanner is TWAIN-supporting, it will show up there, and you just need to select it and click on the “Add”-button – that will bring up the “Add”-window, which enables you to add a new printer or scanner – then, just below in the list of printers on the left, click on the “+”-sign – connect your scanner directly to your Mac using a USB-cable Here’s a quick step-by-step instruction : In OSX 10.7 Lion, 10.8 Mountain Lion, 10.9 Mavericks, 10.10 Yosemite and 10.11 El_Capitan, any TWAIN-supporting scanner can be used without any additional software.Ī list of supported scanners for OSX 10.9 Mavericks can be found here. But now I’ve bought a new Mac which runs OSX 10.11 El_Capitan, I can’t seem to install it, since Canon doesn’t update the drivers anymore. I’ll update this post as new information becomes available.I have a Canon CanoScan LiDE 20 that used to work perfectly in MacOSX 10.6 Snow Leopard. I’d appreciate it if you left a comment either way.
So, how is your ScanSnap and related software working on OS X El Capitan? If you want to see this in video form, I’ve created a short video.
Right-click on the ScanSnap icon in the Dock.If you have a ScanSnap iX500, iX100, SV600, S1500/M, S1300/S1300i, or S1100/S1100i the best way to go is to do an online update. Preparing Your ScanSnap For OS X El Capitan See this page and the instructions below. If you want further details, here is the support page for each model: The short version is, all current and some discontinued ScanSnap models will be supported. Follow the Online Update Instructions or see the support page for your model. Update : The ScanSnap El Capitan update has now been released. Usually they give a time frame when the update will be out, but not this time.
I’ve done some searching and haven’t come across any concrete problems yet, but at the time of writing a new version of ScanSnap Manager with official El Capitan support has not been released.
If you’ve made the El Capitan upgrade, please leave a comment below with how it is working out for you. Whenever a new version of an operating system is released, I put up a post to collect experiences and resources for the ScanSnap.
