Slooow scanning with CanoScan Lide 35

I've recently noticed a considerable speed drop when scanning with my CanoScan Lide 35. It's supposed to be USB 2.0 and when using system profiler it gives the speed at 480 Mbs, but it seems more like USB 1.1. when I'm scanning. It used to be much faster and the problem really started a short while back. Could it be caused by the Mac OS X 10.4.7 upgrade? I'm using Photoshop (9.0.1.) and CanoScan Toolbox when scanning. The scanner behaves the same whatever port I use. I've updated to the latest drivers. Anyone got a clue?
PowerMac G5 1.8 Ghz Mac OS X (10.4.7)

I would prefer to see a backup routine, followed by erase and restore, then reapply the 10.4.7 update AND you may want to reinstall Canon drivers. You could just clone to another drive and boot from that. SuperDuper can be used in demo mode for a simple clone process.
MacFixit had a lengthy, in-depth series of 4? articles on preferences and plists and checking for corrupt prefs (I tend to rely on Applejack along with Preferential Treatment - there are also some other tools mentioned in the tutorial).
I have an MDD so I have added and tried a couple different USB2 controllers, and someone else mentioned that while the latest Sonnet Allegro USB2 is working fine for me (no issues, no problem with deep sleep etc) they were having a problem.
My own first recommendation with troubleshooting hardware is to always start up in Open Firmware and use the reset-nvram[/ib] command.

CanoScan LiDE 700F Scanner not opening up

Whenever I try to scan anything with CanoScan LiDE 700F scanner my computer gives the message "scanner reported an error. An error ocurred while communicating with the scanner." I have to unplug and plug back the USB port and only hten it opens up. When I try to open the scanner with System Preferences, scanner opens up, but as soon as I hit "scan" the same error message pops up. I uploaded the latest driver from Canon website, but the problem persists. I also deleted and re-installed the sanner in system preferences, but it didn't help.
It used to work fine when I initially installed it (on Leopard), but then suddenly this problem arose.

This same error message was first noticed on 10.6. It would only occur after waking the Mac from sleep. Prior to the sleep state you could scan using Image Capture without error. But if the Mac entered a sleep state with the scanner connected, after waking it and then trying to scan, the error message would appear. And as you have found, the quick solution is to unplug the USB cable and then reconnect it.
This problem only occurs with Canon scanners that use USB power. The models that have their own power supply, or the All In One devices with scanner, do not suffer the same fate. Apple Engineering is aware of this and have told me that it is up to Canon to fix.
Note that the same problem does not occur when using Canon's MP Navigator application. This application uses the full TWAIN-based scanner driver, whereas Image Capture and Preview use the ICA driver, and works fine after waking the Mac from a sleep state.

How do I scan multiple pages into one document using the CanoScan LiDE 200?

How do I scan multiple pages into one document using the CanoScan LiDE 200?
I can't seem to find a way to get them to scan continuously, or a way to stitch them together afterwards.

Hi dagda24,
You can scan multiple pages into a single document with the scan to PDF option. Use the following steps to do so:
1. Open MP Navigator.
2. Click One Clcik.
3. Click Save to PC.
4. Change the File Type from PDF to PDF (multiple pages).
5. Make any other changes as needed, then click scan.

Canoscan LiDE 25 Only Scans at Low-Resolution

Since upgrading to Snow Leopard, I can't get a high-res scan out of Image Capture with my Canoscan LiDE 25. I've downloaded the 11.031 drivers from Canon's site but didn't improve anything.
I open image capture, choose the advanced options, let it run the overview scan, turn off the "Detect Separate Items" checkbox, resize the border to the part I want to scan, choose a scan location and filename, then turn up the resolution to 150 DPI. The scan runs really fast and then create a ~125 x 90 pixel image from the ~3" x 2" graphic I'm scanning. The same thing happens when I try to do a "Import from scanner" in Preview.
The Canon tools don't work with the latest driver version; anyone have an idea about how to get high-res scans again? (Besides buying VueScan…)

I know it's a great program — back when I worked in academic technology I convinced management to switch our computer labs to VueScan for both Mac and Windows.
However, considering I scan maybe 3 times a year, it seems there should be a solution for basic scanning that doesn't require a $40 license.

I am also getting a similar error, except mine is "Code:2,156,182"
If anyone is also getting these errors or if someone on Canon tech support could rectify this, I would really appreciate it.

I have a CanoScan Lide 700F scanner ,how do I scan Black and white neg.and turn them into positives?

I am scaning all old pictures, docts, slides ,but I have alot of b&w negs verious sizes, how can I turn them into b&w positives??

Hi Teddy.
The MP Navigator EX software that was bundled with your CanoScan LiDE 700F can be used to scan your black and white negatives. To use the MP Navigator, please follow these steps:
1. Start MP Navigator EX and open the Navigation Mode screen.
2. Point to Scan/Import and click Film.
3. Place the film on the Platen.
4. Click Specify... to set the document size and scanning resolution as required.
5. When setting is completed, click OK.
Important
Film may not be scanned correctly when Film Type in the Scan Settings dialog box is set to Auto. In that case, select the type of film in Film Type and scan again.
Note
To scan black and white film, it is recommended that you select Black and White Negative Film or Black and White Positive Film for Film Type in the Scan Settings dialog box.
6. Click Scan. Preview scan starts. When preview scan of the film is completed, the preview image appears.
Important
If a message for calibration appears, remove the film, then place the Film Adapter Unit over the first frame of the Film Guide and click OK.
7. When the calibration is completed, follow the on-screen instructions to load the film into the Film Guide, then click OK.
Note
Preview image does not appear when the Preview before scanning checkbox is not selected in the Scan Settings dialog box. The scanned images appear directly in the Thumbnail window.
8. Select the checkbox of the frame and click Scan. When scanning is completed, the Scan Complete dialog box opens.
9. Select Scan or Exit. To scan another frame, place the Film Adapter Unit over the frame you want to scan, then select Scan. Select Exit to end.
The scanned images appear in the Thumbnail window.
10. Edit the scanned images as required. Use Edit Tools to rotate images, select a part of an image, etc.
Note
First select images to edit. (Selected images are outlined in orange.) Drag the mouse or use Shift + arrow keys to select multiple images.
11. Save the scanned images.

HT3669 Using/installing scanner Canoscan LIDE 50 with Mac OS 10.8.2

How can I use my canoscan lide 50 with my macbook pro retina (2012), which is running Mac OS 10.8.2?

It would appear that you cannot use this scanner on 10.8. Canon has not produced an ICA or TWAIN scanner driver. 10.8 does not list the LiDE 50 in its CanonIJScanner2 package. And VueScan states that to use it, you must first install the Canon TWAIN scanner driver. But the installer for this model was last written for 10.4 - meaning it requires support for PPC chipset which Apple ceased with 10.7.

Can CanoScan Lide 20 work with Lion?

Since installing Lion, my CanoScan Lide 20 is not usable - Canoscan Toolbox software no longer opens; downloaded latest drivers and when trying to install, get error message that PowerPC applications no longer supported. Anybody know of a workaround?

CanoScan Toolbox is obsolete. U need to find something called MP Navigator EX. That works here with canon scanners.

Will a CanoScan LIDE 210 scanner work with OSX 10.11 beta?

I am testing OSX 10.11 Beta release and happen to need a scanner. I am asking to find out if the CanoScan Lide 210 will work with this version of OSX?

Any luck? I upgraded to OSX 10.11 and sometimes it works sometimes it doesnt.

CanoScan LiDE 200 - can't get it to work with 10.6.6

I have a CanoScan LIDE 200 and recently upgraded to 10.6.6, and now I cannot get the scanner to work. I spent 3 hours downloading all the latest drivers and even the Canon IJ Network Scanner Selector. Everything I tried failed and now I'm losing patience. I've never had a problem like this before, downloading the latest driver usually does the trick. Help, please!?

Are you able to add the scanner in Print & Fax? If the scanner does not appear in the Default view when connected to the Mac then the USB cable could be a cause. You can open System Profiler and select USB in the Hardware column on the left. Then in the right pane the LiDE 200 should be listed under one of the USB busses. If the scanner is not showing then try moving it to another USB port on the Mac. If it still fails to show then try another USB cable.

Re: Trouble with peripherals (CanoScan LIDE 30 Scanner & HP LaserJet 1020)

The Canon CanoScan LIDE 30 scanner didn't have any autodetection, so I want to the Canon Web site to look for drivers. I grabbed the drivers, packaged in a .dmg file, from Canon. Running the setup file, I was a bit perplexed what it wanted me to do, so I installed the drivers in the Applications directory and rebooted the system when prompted.
That did nothing - I still couldn't access the scanner. I tried a couple other places - root of the hard drive, /Library/Image Capture... nothing.
I'm at a complete loss here, and couldn't figure out how to do it.
And the printer.
I hooked up the HP LaserJet 1020 to the Mac. Nothing happened, so I went into the Print & Fax System Utility to set it up. The printer browser was able to detect it, but there was no listing for the HP LaserJet 101 in the driver selections. Hewlett Packard doesn't offer Mac drivers for the printer.
Anything I can do to get these two peripherals working?
Feel free to CC responses to [email protected]

The Canon CanoScan LIDE 30 scanner usually installs a file "N124u-buttonmanager" in your Login items (actually the standard install used to put the "buttonmanager" for both the LiDE 20 and LiDE 30 scanners, see this User Tip: kmosx2: Looking for devices matching vendor..).
Their more recent software is better behaved: I have an all in one, and there are no Login items, everything is installed in a "Canon Utilities" folder inside "/Applications".
So, if the software you downloaded includes a "buttonmanager", make sure you choose the right one (see the User Tip) and put it in your login items (System Preferences > Accounts).

Image Capture not working with Canon LiDE 500F

Image Capture version 6.0.424 and CanoScan LiDE 500F 11.2.5.0 does not work properly.
Regardless the resolution, the resulted file has a very small size.
As a test I scanned a 9x20cm document at different resolutions and for all resulted files 'Get Info' reported small dimensions: 69x147 pixels. It is interesting that the size of the file varies with resolution, but when opened in Preview or Acrobat Reader, the small size is used.
As for other reports, CanoScan Toolbox works properly.

Hello Liviu,
There has been a couple of posts regarding the same issue with Image Capture. Have a look at this one for example.
http://discussions.apple.com/watches!add.jspa?forumID=1344&threadID=2272250
As I stated in this thread, I do not have this problem with Image Capture and my LiDE 200 or my MP980 AIO. So there must be something with the drivers used by these older model of Canon scanners when using Image Capture.
I haven't seen anyone provide a solution as yet so you may need to escalate this to Canon if you have a need to use Image Capture.

Upgraded to OS X 10.9 and now cannot connect to Canoscan LIDE 90 Scanner. Cant find a new driver anywhere. Any ideas??

I have upgraded to OS X 10.9 and now I cannot connect to my Canoscan LIDE 90 Scanner. Cant find a new driver anywhere. Any ideas??

Like Dan White, I have found that I can still run the Lide 90 under Mavericks. As Dan says, the buttons on the front of the scanner don't work but I rarely if ever used them.
I have just tested the scanner using Acrobat Pro and it loads up the Scangear software to capture the scan, with no problems at all. I didn't have to reinstall anything as it was all there already and working in Mountain Lion. Photoshop CS 5.1 is different; it does not recognise the scanner, presumably because it can't find a TWAIN driver for it. Image Capture does not recognise the scanner either, but I don't have the latest (10.8) Canon MP Explorer and Explorer Opener software installed.

Canoscan LiDE 210 won't work on my macbook pro

Can't get my scanner to work on my macbood pro, OSX 10.8.4. I've downloaded the driver for the scanner and the MP Navigator EX 5.02. MPNav won't even open. LIsts only a few Canon products supported. EXTREMELY frustrating.

I should have clarified I was referenceing the software as Canoscan LiDE 5.0.1.4 for Mac OS X. It appears to be the most current version.
The scanner is a Canon model CanoScan LiDE 600F. After posting, I found and installed the current scanner driver. Same results with a subsequent scan attempts. The preview displays the full picture, but finished horz. image is clipped at the top and shows part of the sprocket holes at the bottom of the frame.
But after teasing the piece of film into the most extream position against the bottom edge of the holder with a toothpick I was able to trial and error some full frame images with minimal clipping. I suspect it is a software problem. Probably some focusing or alignment algorythm
The film adapter is a 13"X4" device that lays on the larger glass, a cable plugs into a port labled FAU and the device engages two magnetic latches to exactly position the film adapter. The adapter itself has a hinged lid and seems to be disigned for a 35 mm strip of film, not an idividual cut frame. The larger scanner lid is double hindged, so it can close over the film adapter when its mounted on scanner bed.
