    Canon does not have drivers available for your scanner for v10.9 here.

     

    But there is a work around.

     

    Use the Image Capture app in your Applications folder for scanning.

     

     

    Launch Image Capture.

     

    Connect the scanner to your Mac whether Wi-Fi or USB.

     

    Click the very small black box bottom left side of the Image Capture window.

     

    You'll see this pop up menu:   Connecting this (device) opens:

     

    You can select a default app to scan (Image Capture) and select a folder from the Import To pop up menu on the right to save scanned files to.

     

    If you need help with the Image Capture software, click Help from the Image Capture menu bar.
