P215 Scan 1.1.0

Choose a tag to compare

@philipyaz philipyaz released this 28 Jul 06:02

The app is now fully self-contained — SANE (scanimage + the canon_dr backend) is bundled inside, so there is nothing else to install. No Homebrew required.

Install

Without Homebrew:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/philipyaz/p215-scan/main/install.sh | bash

With Homebrew:

brew install --cask philipyaz/tap/p215-scan

Or download the zip below and drop P215 Scan.app into /Applications (a browser-downloaded zip is quarantined: allow the first launch under System Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway).

Changes since 1.0.0

  • SANE is embedded in the app bundle (1.5 MB, relocatable, ad-hoc signed); the app prefers it and falls back to a system scanimage
  • install.sh: one-line installer for Macs without Homebrew — quarantine-free by construction
  • Bundled third-party licenses and source pointers ship in Contents/Frameworks/sane/licenses/
  • The Homebrew cask no longer needs the sane-backends formula

Requires macOS 14+ on Apple Silicon.

P215 Scan 1.0.0

Choose a tag to compare

@philipyaz philipyaz released this 27 Jul 21:01

First public release: a native arm64 macOS app for the Canon imageFORMULA P-215II.

Install

brew install --cask philipyaz/tap/p215-scan

Or download P215.Scan-1.0.0.zip below, drop P215 Scan.app into /Applications, and brew install sane-backends. The app is not notarized — Homebrew 6 installs it ready to launch, but with a hand-downloaded zip (or an older Homebrew) macOS may ask you to allow the first launch under System Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway.

Setup

Set the scanner's rear Auto Start switch to OFF, plug it in, scan (⌘R).

Highlights

  • Scan through SANE's canon_dr backend: duplex, blank-page detection, deskew, auto-rotate
  • Page editor: rotate, straighten, trim, brightness/contrast, greyscale, B&W
  • Export PDF / TIFF / JPEG / PNG with an invisible OCR text layer (14 languages, Apple Vision)
  • Presets and one-click scan-to-folder jobs
  • A fully reverse-engineered spec of Canon's Auto Start "file tunnel" transport in reference/protocol/

Requires macOS 14+ on Apple Silicon, plus sane-backends from Homebrew.
