Success! My ScanSnap now works in Catalina (if you check in the System information app, all of the ScanSnap software is now 64-bit). Then, the real test: I installed the same software on my MacBook Pro with Catalina installed. Download and installation went perfectly, and the scanner still works-the software looks exactly the same as it did before. I clicked the link for the oldest scanner on the list, which I think was the S1500M. I clicked the Update link and was taken here. That last cryptic remark sparked my interest. It includes support for some older scanners.” Every few years I’ve been scouring the Fujitsu website for new software, and occasionally I’ve been able to download software for more recent ScanSnaps and install it successfully.įor the last year or so I’ve been running version 6-but last night an alert popped up on my iMac screen (running Mojave) saying something like “ScanSnap V7 is now available. Official support for the scanner ended long ago, but I haven’t given up hope. The main thing that’s stopped me from upgrading to Catalina on my iMac is the lack of 64-bit driver support for my sturdy old ScanSnap 500M.
