- 'I like Canon Scanner' Kamruzamman August 25, 2010 / Version: Canon CanoScan LiDE 20 7.0.1.1aX.
VueScan is compatible with the Canon 5000F on Windows x86 and Mac OS X.
I have a new mac laptop (first mac). My printer/scanner is a Canon MX452. The printer shows up in my list of printers in System Preferences 'Printer & Scanners' and I can print from my Mac to the printer. I've got the printer set up and working. However, the same device is also a scanner, but it doe. Scan images or documents using your Mac. If you have a scanner or a printer with a scanner, you may not need any special software to scan an image. Before you scan, you need to open your scanner. Then, follow the instructions for either a document-feeding scanner or a flatbed scanner.
This scanner has an infrared lamp for scanning film. VueScan's 'Filter | Infrared clean' option can be used to remove dust spots from film scans. This is similar to (and we think better than) the ICE and FARE algorithms.
It scans with visible light in the first pass and with infrared light in the second pass.
Infrared cleaning works well with all types of color negative and color slide film, including Kodachrome. However, silver-based black/white film doesn't work with infrared cleaning because the silver particles look the same in visible light and infrared light.
You need to install the Canon driver to use this scanner on Windows x86 and Mac OS X. Unfortunately, Canon doesn't have a driver for this scanner on Windows x64.
This scanner isn't supported on Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion) and later, since Canon uses a PowerPC plugin for this scanner and Rosetta isn't available with 10.7 and later.

On Mac OS X prior to 10.7, you need to use the x32 version of VueScan 9.0.96 with Rosetta. To do this:
