Canon MX896 Technical Information

VueScan is compatible with the Canon MX896 on Windows, macOS and Linux.

If you're using Windows and you've installed a Canon driver, VueScan's built-in drivers won't conflict with this. If you haven't installed a Windows driver for this scanner, VueScan will automatically install a driver.

You can use this scanner on Mac OS X and Linux without installing any other software.

VueScan uses in-scanner JPEG compression with this scanner to scan faster. This is significantly faster when scanning over a network connection. You can turn this off by setting 'Input | Fine mode'.

Canon sold this scanner in some countries as the MX890 / MX892 / MX893 / MX894 / MX895 / MX897 / MX898.
