General Notes (Scanner Driver)

ScanGear (scanner driver) is subject to the following restrictions. Keep these points in mind when using it.

Scanner Driver Restrictions

When using the NTFS file system, the TWAIN data source may not be invoked. This is because the
TWAIN module cannot be written to the winnt folder for security reasons. Contact the computer's
administrator for help.
Some computers (including laptops) connected to the machine may not resume correctly from
standby mode. In that case, restart the computer.
Do not connect two or more scanner or multifunction printers with scanner function to the same
computer simultaneously. If multiple scanning devices are connected, you cannot scan from the
scanner buttons of the machine and also may experience errors while accessing the devices.
ScanGear cannot be opened in multiple applications at the same time. Within an application,
ScanGear cannot be opened for the second time when it is already open.
Be sure to close the ScanGear window before closing the application.
Make sure that you have adequate disk space available when scanning large images at high
resolutions. For example, at least 300 MB of free space is required to scan an A4 document at 600
dpi in full-color.
ScanGear and WIA driver cannot be used at the same time.
Do not enter the computer into sleep or hibernate state during scanning.
Calibration may take time if the machine is connected via USB1.1.
Scanning may fail if the computer has resumed from sleep or standby mode. In that case, disconnect
the USB cable from the computer, then reconnect it. If scanning still fails, restart the computer.

Applications with Restrictions on Use

If you start Media Center included in Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005, you may not be able to
scan using the scanner buttons of the machine. In that case, restart the computer.
You cannot scan images with Media Center included in Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005.
Scan with other applications such as IJ Scan Utility.
Some applications may not display the TWAIN user interface. In that case, refer to the application's
manual and change the settings accordingly.
Some applications do not support continuous scanning of multiple documents. In some cases, only
the first scanned image is accepted, or multiple images are scanned as one image.
To import scanned images into Microsoft Office 2000, first save them using IJ Scan Utility, then import
the saved files from the Insert menu.
When scanning Platen size images into Microsoft Office 2003 (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc.), click
Custom Insert in the Insert Picture from Scanner or Camera screen. Otherwise, images may not
be scanned correctly.
When scanning images into Microsoft Office 2007/Microsoft Office 2010 (Word, Excel, PowerPoint,
etc.), use Microsoft Clip Organizer.
Images may not be scanned correctly in some applications. In that case, increase the operating
system's virtual memory and retry.
When image size is too large (such as when scanning large images at high resolution), your computer
may not respond or the progress bar may remain at 0 % depending on the application. In that case,
cancel the action (for example by clicking Cancel on the progress bar), then increase the operating
system's virtual memory or reduce the image size/resolution and retry. Alternatively, scan the image
via IJ Scan Utility first, then save and import it into the application.

My Canon LiDE 120 scanner has always worked well on my 2010 and 2012 MacBookPro laptops running macOS 12.x.x and 13.x.x (supposedly the newest macOS this legacy hardware can run). I've always run with the macOS System Preferences/Security & Privacy Firewall ON. How does this Canon scanner communicate with my laptops through the Firewall? I note that with a new Epson "all in one" printer & scanner I must turn the laptop Firewall OFF and UN check the "Block all incoming connections" option. The added image is the macOS Firewall configuration required for the Epson's scanner to work. I assume the EEventManager.app in the image is the Epson scanner's communication app. Ah, another digital world mystery ?!
