Support Assistant (FAQ)
My Quato/Canon/Epson scanner was not found on my Mac OSX/macOS system.

SymptomSymptom:
My Quato/Canon/Epson scanner was not found on my Mac OS X / macOS system.

ProblemProblem:
Only 32bit drivers are available, but an 64bit OS X/macOS system is being used.

In some cases installing an additional SilverFast version can reset the 32 Bit option to 64 bit.

Some OS X/macOS help/cleaning tools might reset the 32 Bit option, because it thinks that SilverFast runs better in 64 Bit mode.

SolutionSolution:
In most cases SilverFast automatically configures the 32 Bit mode if necessary. If this is not the case, please configure the SilverFast application to be launched in 32bit mode manually:

First make sure you are logged in as an administrator.

You can locate the SilverFast executable file here:
/Applications/SilverFast Application/SilverFast 8/SilverFast8.app
locationsf8
Right-click (Ctrl+click) on the "SilverFast 8" application.
Select "Get Info".

Now just check the "Open in 32-bit mode".

My problem is now solved. My problem is still not solved.
