Special exceptions for Mac Users

  •  If you use a Mac®  and have certain PIXMA TS, TR or CanoScan models, drivers aren't available because they use AirPrint technology for printing / scanning.
  •  Mac users will need to double-click the .PKG file which appears after double-clicking the downloaded file.
