With that downloaded and installed, VueScan now works. That’s where I’d found Epson Scan 2, but also on that page was a separate driver download. Which then led me to the Epson support downloads page. I dug into the Library folder and found what I believed to be the TWAIN driver and it was indeed a 64-bit Intel binary. I knew x32 was going to be a no-go option so I started mulling over what might be the problem. It then recommended that I try to download the “圆4” version.Īt first I could not find this version (it’s behind very small link text below the very big download button) and when I did and installed it, I got a new “hint” which said it could not find any drivers for 圆4 and I should try the x32 version! When I started the VueScan application it popped up a “hint” that it had seen my Epson Perfection V370 Photo scanner but that “the plugin libraries are for Intel processors”. However, when I went to use it, I struck a bit of a snag.Īs a background to this, I already had the Epson Scan 2 software installed and working. I was pleased to see that Hamrick Software offer a Universal version of their VueScan app and I duly downloaded it to my M1 MacBook Pro when I was setting it up. The official VueScan website provides the software as a precompiled archive, so all you need to do is to download the archive for your system’s architecture, extract it, set execution permissions and run the app launcher.I thought I’d post this here as I had some confusion over this situation this week.

The latest version available is VueScan 9.6.22, which comes with some changes. According to the official website, VueScan is compatible with 5831 scanners from 42 scanner manufacturers

As you may know, VueScan is a software that permits the users to easily scan documents via either Flatbed and Glass.īasically, it uses the scan driver (virtual interface) and provides a user interface, so that the users can scan easily.
