Image Capture compatible scanners?

Does anyone know where to find a list of scanners that are supported by Image Capture? I can't seem to get my scanner to be recognized by it, and so far I haven't found whether it should be or not. It's a HP PhotoSmart all-in-one deal...
Thanks!

This is what my Image Capture help says:
Image Capture works with scanners that have driver software for Mac OS X. It also works with some TWAIN-compatible scanners.
To find out if your scanner is compatible with Mac OS X, check with the scanner’s manufacturer, or go to the peripheral compatibility webpage.
To scan images using a TWAIN interface:
Install the latest software for your scanner.
The latest software may have come with your scanner or it may be on the website for the scanner’s manufacturer.
In Image Capture, choose Devices > Browse Devices. Under TWAIN devices, select your scanner, select Use TWAIN UI, and then click Connect.
If you don’t see this option, your scanner does not have a TWAIN interface.
To learn how to perform scans with the dialog that appears, see the documentation that came with your scanner.

  • Why does Image Capture not see my scanners?

    I have two multi-function printers - a Canon MF4350d and a HP Officejet J4550 - both connected to my iMac and both printing properly. But when
    I open Image Capture it does not see either device. How do I get my scanners functional?

    Check this thread: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5540452?start=0&tstart=0
    It would seem there are updated drivers for (some) HP scanners.  Doesn't appear to be the case for Canon.

  • Olympus C-3020 Zoom. Compatible with Image Capture's Take Picture Feature?

    Hey, Camera Owners.
    For anyone who has a C-3020Z, is it compatible with Images Capture's Take Picture function? And also, I believe that the C-3000Z and C-3020Z are basically the same camera. Am I correct?
    Thanks,
    Max

    See this page for a comparison of the two cameras.

  • Image Capture/Scanners

    Since installing SNow Leopard Image Capture will not detect either of the scanners that I have installed: an Epson CX 4200 and a BrotherMFC 8460N. Also, when I open Print and Fax in Syst. Pref. and click on the scanner it will open a scanner window but will not detect the scanner. Suggestions?
    FWIW, printing is working fine in both.

    I seem to have a similar problem with Image Capture.
    I have a portable S40 document scanner from Mustek, which I bought here in Taiwan. It works fine with Image Capture 4 on my OS X 10.5.8 laptop, but Image Capture 6 can't recognize the scanner.
    I would like to test out an earlier version of Image Capture on my new iMac, but I only have 4.0, which doesn't work. Vue Scan and other programs don't recognize the scanner either, but I don't know if they would have the same problem on 10.5.
    Funny enough, Lemkesoft's Graphic Converter can use the TWAIN driver, but when I tested it on both 10.6 and 10.5, the interface freezes. I can scan from Graphic Converter, but I can't calibrate the scanner!
    The scanner also behaves differently between the two systems. With 10.5 the "ready" light comes on as soon as I plug it in (it's USB-powerd), but with 10.6 it only comes on when I ask Graphic Converter to acquire the TWAIN source.

  • I'm using Image Capture over one year, between my Epson XP-800 and iMac, sometimes very fast and quiet often very, very slow. I've tried to use Epson Scan 3.7.9fO but not compatible with OS X 10.9.5x Why, please..

    I'm using Image Capture over one year now, using wireless between my iMac and Epson XP-800 and sometimes very fast scans and quiet often very, very slow scans. I have tried to use Epson Scan Software 3.7.9f0 but not compatible with OS X 10.9.5x. There is very little other wireless traffic and I have a fast broadband connection. Thanks

    Mike,
    Thanks, but, I don't want more software as I have used both Epson and Image Capture. Is there not a solution with existing Epson and Image Capture..?

  • Image capture question

    image capture does not see my scanner. I've installed all proper software, and my scanner fits the description of compatible scanners. So why does it not read it as availaable? The scanner I have is a Canon Canoscan LIDE 20. thanks for any help.

    Have you tried VueScan? It works well with several scanners. I would give it a shot. I have an old UMAX scanner that has no driver available for Mac OS X and VueScan made it work.

  • HP C3180 supported by Image Capture?

    Hi all,
    I have a HP C3180 all-in-one printer/scanner/copier. I can scan with the HP software but it is quite dreadful and I'm looking for a solution that does not involve installing lots of photo editing or card making programs that I never use.
    Image Capture does not seem to recognize this scanner. Does anyone know if there is an "Image Capture plugin" that I could grab somewhere? I am also curious as to whether Image Capture offers more scanning features than the (poorly designed) HP Scan Pro.
    Finally, is there a list of scanners supported by Image Capture?
    I'm running Leopard 10.5.8.
    Thanks in advance!

    No, there is no such plug-in. The HP scanner driver is installed as part of your HP software that came with the printer. If that software is not compatible with Leopard then you will need to visit the HP site and download a Leopard compatible driver.
    Image Capture should work with an HP TWAIN driver if one is available for your model. You can also contact HP support for assistance.

  • Image capture and Canon Scanner

    Why won't my Canon D660U scanner work with Image Capture? I've downloaded SANE (whatever that is) and Image Capture will now recognise the printer, but still won't scan my slides. The only application that will work is Vuescan, but it's US$49.95! Surely the application built in to Tiger can do the job, why is it so hard to get it to work?

  • Open image capture question

    I am having trouble using the detect separate items feature in the Apple open image capture feature.  Instead of separating the scans, it just does one big scan.   Is anybody else having this problem?  If it works for you, what type of scanner do you use?

    Have you tried VueScan? It works well with several scanners. I would give it a shot. I have an old UMAX scanner that has no driver available for Mac OS X and VueScan made it work.

  • How can I turn off the preview (overview) automatically executed when I launch Image Capture?

    I love using Image Capture, but every time I launch it, it automatically does a previes of my scanner's flatbed.  Most of the time, I don't use the flatbed.  I use the feeder to scan multiple pages. 
    My question is this:  Is there any way to turn off the automatic preview (overview) that Image Capture executes when it's launched?
    Thanks in advance for any and all assistance!   

    Not a direct answer.
    From Image Capture Help:
    Scan pages with a document-feeding scanner
    When you scan a document with a document-feeding scanner, the same settings are used for all the pages in the feeder. If your pages need different settings (for example, some are grayscale and some are color), separate them into different groups.
    Before you begin these steps, you need to open your scanner. For instructions, see one of these help topics:
    Scan an image
    Scan an image with Image Capture
    Scan an image with Preview
    Place the pages in the scanner’s document feeder.
    Turn on the Use Document Feeder option, if it’s present.
    Set scanning options.You may need to click Show Details to see all the available options.Here are some of the options you can set. The options available to you depend on the scanner you’re using. Some options aren’t available on all scanners, and some scanners may have more options.
    To choose the type of image being scanned, use the Kind pop-up menu.Choose Text for black-and-white images with high contrast, such as text. Choose Black & White for grayscale images. Choose Color for color images.
    To scan both sides of a page, select Duplex.
    To choose a size for the scanned image, use the Size pop-up menu.
    To choose where to save the scanned images, use the Scan To pop-up menu.If you choose a folder, the images are stored in that folder. If you choose an app, the images are opened with that app.
    To adjust the colors or exposure of the scanned image, choose Manual from the Image Correction pop-up menu, and adjust the controls.If you don’t see the image correction controls, scroll down or make the Scanner window taller.
    Click Scan.The scanner scans the pages one by one.

  • I can print to a Lexmark X4550, but not scan (with Image Capture)

    Following tips (by "Lexmark Listens" and others) I succeded in printing (via USB and wifi) to a Lexmark X4550.
    But when scanning (via USB) using the Image Capture app (included in Mac OS), Image Capture sees the scanner a couple of seconds, then complains that no scanner is connected (although it still is).
    This happens with a MacBook (Pro), but not with another MacBook (white).
    I tried (not necessarily in this order):
    - reboot
    - repair disk permissions
    - re-installing drivers (both printer driver and "Image Capture Application Scan Driver for for 10.6.8 and later Mac OS") from Lexmark support site.
    - running Mac OS software update (which updated the printer driver to version 2.8]
    - resetting the printing system: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1341
    How can I completely remove all files related to Lexmark printers&scanners and try again installing from a clean state?
    (I see in other posts that a Lexmark Uninstaller is sometimes located in HD/Library/Printers/Lexmark/YEAR/ ; I used to have one here, but it was removed during previous attempts at getting the scanner working ; and anyway when I run this Uninstaller at the time, it did not completely clean the /Printer/Lexmark)
    My problem is very similar to this one described in this bug report in Lexmark knowledge base:
    http://bit.ly/MOR9bd
    But the patch proposed is "For Mac OS X 10.6 only" and titled "LexmarkPro800-Pro900SeriesQFE1.0.0.dmg" so I don't think it would work for a Lexmark X4550. (Indeed I installed this patch and the problem is still there).
    As for the workaround suggested, "When using Apple's Image Capture application, do not use the "Show Details" option [...]", I can't get it to work: as soon as I launch Image Capture, it starts scanning (a preview) and the "Show Details" bouton is grayed out.
    I've already spent many hours trying to get this printer-scanner to work with my Mac.
    Any suggestion would be very helpful!

    Same issue, sort of.  After ML upgrade, Lexmark x264dn fails to register as a printer & scanner, there is no scan tab anymore.   Also, image capture application is stuck in a crash loop until I disable mDNS (bonjour) on the printer.   Still, it does not register as a scanner anywhere (protoshop, image capture, preview...)
    I have installed all the package scripts from Lexmark's Mountain Lion support page.   No dice.

  • Canon PIXMA 860 and 560 not recognized by Image Capture

    I can scan from the printers to my MacBook. And I go to System Prefernces / Printers and Faxes and both are shown as printers and as scanners. I can open from their and scan but when I open image capture it doesn't find any scanners.
    I down loaded and installed both the newest canon printer and scanner drivers as well as the newest ICA driver. Still they are not recognized.
    What am I missing?

    Just for testing purposes, I removed the canon printer, removed all canon software and updates from my system and then used the original CD that came with my 870 to reinstall the printer and lo and behold, Image Capture started working again for wireless scanning.
    Hello and thanks for the feedback.
    There are two scanner drivers available for many of the new models of Canon AIOs. There is the ICA driver and the Canon scanner driver.
    During my tests on clean builds of 10.6.x I found that my Canon AIOs were able to print and scan via wireless by simply installing the Canon update provided by Apple. This update consisted of the then latest printer driver for many models of Canon AIO and inkjet and the ICA driver. Canon's scanner driver was not included as part of this download from Apple.
    The ICA driver is installed in HD > Library > Image Capture > Devices and the package is called Canon IJScanner1. Later versions of the ICA driver also installed another package, Canon IJScanner2. These ICA drivers provide a minimal amount of scanning selections and only appear to work with Image Capture and Preview. Other applications like Canon's own MP Navigator and Adobe Acrobat Pro will not scan with just the ICA driver installed. The Canon scanner driver for the respective model is required.
    From what you have said and from my own testing I propose that the original CD did not contain the ICA driver but the Canon scanner driver for the MX870. And with only this driver installed you were able to scan using Image Capture via the wireless. I don't recall ever testing a 10.6 build where only the Canon scanner driver was installed and not the ICA driver (it is present by default on 10.6 but only has older models of Canon AIO's - your MX870 is not there). Had I tested this I believe that I would have been able to scan via wireless using Image Capture.
    I also propose that once you installed the Canon v2.4.1 update, which contains a version of the ICA driver package that is also available from Canon web sites, then Image Capture stopped using the Canon MX870 scanner driver and used the ICA driver instead, thus stopping you from wireless scanning.
    Right now I am using a new build of 10.6.6 on my MBPro. So that I could print to my MP990 at home and an MG6150 at work I simply installed the v2.4.1 update and have printer and scanner queues in Print & Fax for both. I have not installed scanner drivers for either device and at home with my MP990 Image Capture does not show any device being available, while Preview does show the MP990 once I select 'Import from Scanner > Include Networked Devices'. Also, Acrobat Pro 9 does not show my MP990 being available.
    And with regards to the v2.4.1 update, the drivers included are provided by Canon to Apple, just as the other vendor drivers are provided to Apple, to make life easier for us Mac users. The drivers are available individually and get downloaded and installed automatically when the respective model is connected to the Mac and no local driver is present. As for the package including all these individual vendor drivers, this would be created by Apple.

  • No Preferences with Image Capture

    No Preferences option when Image Capture app is running. I can't believe it, but is this new in SL? If so why?
    I have discovered the Prefs for AutoImporter. Is that all there are?
    I am ham-strung by my Canon SX200 failing to be recognised as a USB device so I can't see it to strip out the image files in Finder, nor will its images show up in Picasa. When the camera appears in Image Capture, the chance to modify what app is opened and setting this to AutoImporter dumps the pics into a folder. Can this be (simply) modded to run AutoImp AND Picasa?

    First: no Prefs in Image Capture, There are Prefs in AutoImporter, It seems odd that the more user-facing IC has none.
    The preferences are there, just not in a separate preferences window like with many other apps. When you attach a camera with firmware or add-on software compatible with Mac OS X, it appears in the "Devices" list of Image Capture. Click on it in the devices list & you should get a resizable view of its images on the right & on the left, below the Devices list, a +device settings+ pane with the same name as in the devices list. The +per camera+ preferences are there, allowing you to select an app (or no app) to automatically open when that camera is connected, whether or not to share the camera over the local network, & if the images in the camera should be automatically deleted after import. If you don't see the device settings pane, click on the icon at the bottom of the Devices list to expose it.
    If you are concerned about accidentally wiping the camera's images, do not select the preference "Delete After Import." This setting is retained, so unless you select the delete option again, that won't happen.
    If you have already selected some other app to automatically open, the next time you connect the camera, launch Image Capture manually & change that preference to the desired app (or to no app). That preference will be retained as well. You can't set more than one app to launch automatically, though. This would result in both apps trying to manage the camera's images at the same time, leading to a crash or an error in one or both of them, depending on their design.
    Of course, you can also set any available preferences of the app you have chosen to handle the images. This will vary depending on that apps capabilities & design as well. That's why you can't set AutoImporter's preferences from within Image Capture -- it is a separate app that just like its name suggests, only automatically imports the images into a pre-designated folder hierarchy.
    For whatever app you choose to automatically open, you also get whatever 'per connection' options that app supports. For instance, both Image Capture & Preview have the same resizable view of the images, & the same row of options along the bottom of that. Until you click one of the two import buttons, nothing happens to the images in the camera, & they are deleted on import only if that preference is set.
    If you think about it, this is a very logical & flexible implementation. You have +per device+ preferences conveniently centralized in one app, but +per application+ preferences & +per connection+ options localized in each application, since they may vary greatly from app to app. This gives you many more options than if everything was crammed into Image Capture.
    Does that make sense?

  • Image Capture shows no devices (again)

    Hi,
    I have a MacBook Air (2012) running Mac OS X 10.9.1, 1.8GHz Intel Core i5, with 4GB ram.
    I have a Cannon MP510, it shows up on the list of printers in the System Preferences.
    I had a similar problem with the previous operating system (see https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5419672)
    I now have a Time Capsule and I have tried connecting the printer to my laptop with USB and also via the Airport Time Capsule (both by USB).
    The MP510 show up in Printers & Scanners but no Scan, and Image Capture shows no devices as being found.
    I have looked at:
    http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/support/consumer/printers_multifunction/pixma_mp_s eries/pixma_mp510#DriversAndSoftware
    But they have no drivers for 10.9.1 but I did try the driver for 10.8 again.
    I have made sure that the printer is in Scan mode, I have tried Scan to PC, and Scan to PDF. (There isnt a Scan to Mac)
    Any ideas on how I can get my MacBook to detect that the MP510 is also a scanner so that I can use image capture (or any other free software) to get scanned images on to my Mac?
    Thanks,
    Mulder

    I have downloaded Cannon's MP Navigator and it says that it cannot communicate with the scanner, Scanner driver will be closed, and number 155.0.0
