This scanner is supported on Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) and later if you first install the Canon drivers for Mac OS X 10.6 or later (these will work on newer versions of Mac OS X).


On Windows 圆4, you need to use VueScan 圆4 to use this scanner's transparency adapter. You need to install the Canon driver to use this scanner on Windows and macOS. 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. Infrared cleaning works well with all types of color negative and color slide film, including Kodachrome. It scans with visible light in the first pass and with infrared light in the second pass. This is similar to (and we think better than) the ICE and FARE algorithms. VueScan's 'Filter | Infrared clean' option can be used to remove dust spots from film scans.

This scanner has an infrared lamp for scanning film. If VueScan isn't working with the Firewire cable, try a USB cable, try a different Firewire port or a different Firewire cable. VueScan is compatible with the Canon 9950F on Windows and macOS.
