VueScan found an Epson Perfection V600, but the plugin libraries are for Intel processors. Posting the full “tip” text here for SEO purposes: Hitting the same issue on my M1 Mac Mini. Is it running under Rosetta 2 and I don’t know it?
Still don’t know why the Intel version of VueScan worked on my M1. After I downloaded, installed, and used the VueScan software the scans of those negatives came out great. I must have scanned those 5-6 times each, but all with the same terrible result. Most worked fine but there were a few (maybe shot with different B&W film) that had some horrible pixilated areas despite my trying various settings.
On a side note: I had some B&W negatives that I first tried scanning with the Epson Scan 2 software. Also, make sure you have the latest version of the Epson drivers. Right click on Universal version of VueScan app (which is the version I think you have) → Get Info → check Open in Rosetta 2. I then downloaded the Intel Version (VueScan 9.7.55 圆4). When I tried to use that app, it did not see my scanner. I originally dowloaded the Universal version (VueScan 9.7.55 a64 (ARM64)). I have an M1 Mac mini and an Epson Perfection V550. It occurred to me after all this I may have just been able to tell the Universal version to run under Rosetta 2 I was surprised they listed Big Sur compatibility. If Epson come up with M1 software and drivers I will revisit, but I’m not holding my breath for that. It occurred to me after all this I may have just been able to tell the Universal version to run under Rosetta 2 but it’s working now so I will leave it alone. With that downloaded and installed, VueScan now works. That’s where I’d found Epson Scan 2, but also on that page was a separate driver download. Which then led me to the Epson support downloads page. I dug into the Library folder and found what I believed to be the TWAIN driver and it was indeed a 64-bit Intel binary. I knew x32 was going to be a no-go option so I started mulling over what might be the problem. It then recommended that I try to download the “圆4” version.Īt first I could not find this version (it’s behind very small link text below the very big download button) and when I did and installed it, I got a new “hint” which said it could not find any drivers for 圆4 and I should try the x32 version! When I started the VueScan application it popped up a “hint” that it had seen my Epson Perfection V370 Photo scanner but that “the plugin libraries are for Intel processors”. However, when I went to use it, I struck a bit of a snag.Īs a background to this, I already had the Epson Scan 2 software installed and working. I was pleased to see that Hamrick Software offer a Universal version of their VueScan app and I duly downloaded it to my M1 MacBook Pro when I was setting it up.
I thought I’d post this here as I had some confusion over this situation this week.
