Note: With Mac OS X 10.6, 10.7, or 10.8, in addition to scanning with Image Capture, you can download and install Epson Scan scanning software. Epson Scan provides additional image adjustment and photo correction features for enhancing scanned images, and provides an interface for TWAIN-compliant OCR scanning software, such as ABBYY FineReader. Mac OS X Yosemite already has a WiFi scanner to help you find the best WiFi channel, but like in OS X Mavericks, Apple have made it sort of tricky to find.

We have discussed from our previous blog post that the FORScan software requires a Windows OS emulator, such as the VirtualBox Emulator, for it to run on Mac OS X computers. In this blog post, we're going to talk about another app that you can use to run FORScan on a Mac OS X computer - it is called the Crossover App.
The CrossOver app allows users to run thousands of Windows applications on a Mac computer, without having to purchase a Windows license and a virtual machine. Here are the steps on how you can use the app to run FORScan on your Mac computer:
Step 1.
Download the latest version of FORScan. You can download the software here for FREE: https://forscan.org/download.html
Step 2.
Download and install the CrossOver App. Download the app here: https://www.codeweavers.com/products/crossover-mac
Step 3.
Run the CrossOver App and click on 'Install a Windows Application'.
Step 4.
Then type in 'FORScan and press Enter. Then select 'Unlisted application for FORScan' and click Continue.
Step 5.
Click on 'Choose Installer File...'. Select the FORScan installer file that you've previously downloaded and click Continue.
Step 6.
Click Install. The FORScan installer will run. Accept all the default options and click Next. Then click Finish and click Done in the CrossOver app.
Step 7.
You will then find 'FORScan' listed on the CrossOver app. Double-click on it to run the FORScan software on your Mac OS X computer.

When running FORScan on your Mac OS X computer using the CrossOver App, you will need a reliable OBDII tool, we recommend using these devices:
Lansweeper supports scanning of macOS. Scanned Mac data includes disks, network interfaces, memory, model, OS, processor, serial number, software, uptime and more.
To scan a Mac computer, do the following:
- Make sure you meet the Mac scanning requirements.
- Submit your computer's IP range for scanning by hitting the Add Scanning Target button in the ScanningScanning Targets section of the console. If you have multiple scanning servers, there will be a separate configuration tab for each server. When submitting your range, you will be asked to specify a scanning schedule.Make sure you do *not* check the No SSH option when submitting your IP range for scanning. If No SSH is checked, the SSH protocol will not be scanned for machines in the IP range and data returned for your Mac computer will be limited.
- Submit your SSH username and password as a credential in the ScanningScanning Credentials section of the web console. You can use the same username and password for all Linux, Unix and Mac computers by editing the Global SSH credential or submit a non-global credential with the Add new Credential button.
- If the credential you set up is not a global credential, map the credential to your computer's IP range by hitting the + Credential button next to the range on the same page.
- Wait for your scanning schedules to trigger or initiate an immediate scan by hitting the Scan now button next to the range under ScanningScanning Targets
- Monitor the progress of your scan request under ScanningScanning Queue
