To download and use CaptureOnTouch for the Canon imageFORMULA DR-3010C scanner, you must navigate an official hardware retirement policy, as Canon officially retired the DR-3010C in 2019 and no longer updates its official drivers. Official Download and Legacy Setup
Because the device is retired, newer operating systems like Windows 11 do not have dedicated, modern drivers available directly on the Canon DR-3010C Support Page. However, you can still set up the software using legacy compatibility workarounds:
Download the Software: You can download the last compatible standalone version of Capture On Touch v1.1 directly through Canon’s regional support repositories.
The Driver Dependency: CaptureOnTouch cannot communicate with the scanner on its own. It requires an underlying TWAIN or ISIS driver to function.
The Windows 10 Workaround: If you are running a modern operating system, go to the official Canon support portal and download the legacy Windows 10 TWAIN driver package. Running this driver installer in compatibility mode is the most reliable way to make CaptureOnTouch recognize the scanner on newer systems. Installation Steps
Disconnect the scanner’s USB cable from your computer before starting.
Download and install the legacy Windows 10 TWAIN/ISIS driver package from the Canon DR-3010C Product Hub. Download and install the Capture On Touch Software.
Connect the scanner via USB and turn it on to let Windows pair the legacy driver with the hardware.
Open CaptureOnTouch, click the icon in your system taskbar, select Select Scanner, and choose the DR-3010C from the list. Modern Third-Party Alternative
If the legacy Canon drivers fail to install or constantly crash on your current version of Windows or macOS, you can use VueScan. Download drivers, software and manuals – Canon Europe
