Scanner Software Late 2013 iMac

I am looking for a little help from everyone out there. I just purchased a late 2013 iMac. It is in wonderful shape and it is running Catalina. I have a great little scanner the Cannon CanoScan LIDE 210. The system has found the scanner but I am unable to load the software from the scanner on it. I have been to Cannon website and downloaded drivers but the program Navigator which the scanner comes with will not load at all. Any suggestions from the world out there.

Image Capture is preloaded on the computer as part of Mac OS. Please use that as your scanning app. If for some reason it does not work please navigate to Hamrick.com and try out Vuescan. Vuescan is a paid for app but it has a fully functional trial. Chances are excellent one of these solutions will work fine.

Another vote for Image Capture. I never installed the scan software that came with our Epson XP-830 multi-function because Image Capture worked so well.
