1. Important Safety Instructions

To ensure the safe operation of this scanner, be sure to read the safety warnings and precautions described below.

Chapter 1 Before Use

❏ Installation Location

The performance of this scanner is affected by the
environment in which it is installed. Make sure that the
location where the scanner is installed meets the following
environmental requirements.

● Provide adequate space around the scanner for
operation, maintenance, and ventilation.

At least

15.75"
(40 cm)

● Avoid installing the machine in direct sunlight. If
this is unavoidable, use curtains to shade the
scanner.

● Avoid locations where a considerable amount of
dust accumulates.

● Avoid warm or humid locations, such as in the
vicinity of a water faucet, water heater, or
humidifier, and avoid locations where the fumes
from ammonia, paint thinner, or other volatile
chemicals may be present.

● Avoid locations that are subject to vibration.

At least

23.62" (60 cm)

● Avoid exposing the scanner to rapid changes in
temperature. If the room in which the scanner is
installed is cold but rapidly heated, water droplets
(condensation) may form inside the scanner. This
may result in a noticeable degradation in scanning
quality.

The following conditions are recommended for
optimal scanning quality:
Room temperature: 10 °C to 32.5 °C (50 °F to

90.5 °F)
Humidity: 20% to 80% RH

● Avoid installing the scanner near equipment that
generates a magnetic field (e.g. speakers,
televisions, or radios).

❏ Power

● Connect only to a power outlet of the rated voltage

and power supply frequency (either 120 V, 60 Hz
or 220-240 V, 50/60 Hz, depending on your
region).

● Do not connect other electrical equipment to the
same power outlet to which the scanner is
connected. Also, when using an extension cord,
make sure that the extension cord is rated for the
current requirements of the scanner.

● Never try to disassemble the AC adapter or modify
it in any way, as this is extremely dangerous.

● The power cord and AC adapter may become
damaged if they are often stepped on or if heavy
objects are placed on them. Continued use of a
damaged power cord and AC adapter can lead to
an accident, such as a fire or electrical shock.

● Do not use the power cord while it is coiled.

1-2

Chapter 1 Before Use

● Do not pull directly on the power cord. When
disconnecting the power cord, grasp the plug and
remove it from the outlet.

● Keep the area around the power plug clear of
objects so that the power cord can be
disconnected easily in an emergency.

● Use only the AC adapter provided with this
scanner. Also, do not use the AC adapter provided
with the scanner with any other electrical devices.

Model: MG1-4314

● If you have any questions regarding the power
supply, contact your local authorized Canon dealer
or service representative for further information.

❏ Moving the Scanner

● When moving the scanner, always hold it with both

hands to avoid dropping it. The weight of the
scanner unit is approximately 7.9 lbs (3.6 kg).

● Before moving the scanner, make sure the
document tray is closed and the interface cable
and AC adapter are disconnected. If the scanner is
transported with these items connected, the plugs
and connectors may be damaged due to
excessive force applied to them during movement.

❏ Handling

WARNING

Note the following precautions whenever using the
scanner. Failure to do so may result in a fire or
electric shock.

■ Never use alcohol, benzene, paint thinner, aerosol
sprays, or any other highly flammable substance
near the scanner.

■ Do not cut, damage, or modify the power cord or
AC adapter. Do not place heavy objects on the
power cord or AC adapter, and do not pull or
excessively bend the power cord.

■ Never connect the power cord when your hands
are wet.

■ Do not connect the scanner to a multiplug power
strip.

■ Do not knot or coil the power cord, as this may
result in a fire or electric shock. When connecting
the power cord, make sure that the power plug is
securely and completely inserted into the power
outlet.

■ Do not use power cords and AC adapters other
than the power cord and AC adapter provided with
this scanner.

■ Never try to take the scanner apart or modify it in
any way.

■ Never try to take the AC adapter apart or modify it
in any way, as this is dangerous and may lead to a
fire or electric shock.

■ Do not use flammable aerosol sprays near the
scanner.

■ When cleaning the scanner, turn the power OFF
and disconnect the power cord from the power
supply.

■ Clean the scanner using a slightly dampened cloth
which has been well wrung out. Never use alcohol,
benzene, paint thinner, or any other flammable
substances.

1-3

Chapter 1 Before Use

■ If the scanner makes strange noises, or gives off,
smoke, heat, or strange odors, or the scanner
does not function or other abnormalities occur
when you use the machine, immediately turn the
power OFF, and disconnect the power plug from
the power outlet. Then, contact your local
authorized Canon dealer or service representative

Chapter 1 Before Use

4. Network Environment

The network environment required to use the ScanFront is described below. To obtain details on your network environment, contact
your network administrator.

❏ Network Environment

● Microsoft Windows Network

Use the scanner in a Microsoft Windows Network
environment.

● Network Protocol

The scanner uses TCP/IP protocol to connect to the
network.

● IP Address Assignment

The TCP/IP protocol uses one IP address for each
device connected to the network. Consult your network
administrator to determine the IP address to assign to
the scanner.

● DHCP Support

The scanner supports DHCP (Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol). A DHCP server provides a
network environment in which IP addresses can be
obtained automatically from the DHCP server, so there
is no need to set an IP address for the scanner.

* The number of IP addresses that can be obtained using

DHCP is managed by the network administrator. For
details, consult your network administrator.

● 100Base-TX Support

The scanner supports 100Base-TX. However,
communication may be slower than the communication
speed of the network, depending on the other devices
connected to the network and the type of hub.

● SMTP (E-mail) Server

The scanner supports an SMTP server, so you can send
image files directly from the scanner by e-mail.

● FTP Server

The FTP server function supports an FTP server
configured within the local network, and is unable to
send to an FTP server that requires firewall settings.

● Fax

Scanned images can be sent to specified addresses as
fax documents by sending e-mails that include the
scanned images as attachments to an Internet fax
service. Therefore, you must specify message formats
and addresses in the method prescribed by your Internet
fax service.

● Printer

By specifying a printer connected to the same network
as the ScanFront as the destination, you can print
scanned images. In such cases, a computer on which
ScanFront Service is installed must exist on the same
network as the ScanFront scanner.

❏ Directory Service Support

● Active Directory

Active Directory is a directory service adopted by
Windows 2000, and information registered to Active
Directory can be used on other computers. The
ScanFront allows user information registered to the
domain server registered as the authentication server to
be used for authentication to log in to the ScanFront.

* A domain server that uses Windows NT Server for the

operating system cannot be registered as an
authentication server.

● OpenLDAP Server

The scanner supports OpenLDAP servers that can be
connected to with the LDAP (Lightweight Directory
Access Protocol) protocol.
You can authenticate ScanFront users and reference e­mail addresses for registration to the address book using
the user information registered on the OpenLDAP
server.

1-10

❏ Limitations

● Limitations in Browsing for Shared Folders

A problem in browsing for shared folders on computers
running the Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2
operating system has been determined to exist. You will
not be able to browse for shared folders to act as image
file destinations by pressing the [Browse] button on the
ScanFront touch panel. (Similarly, you will not be able
to browse for shared folders in the screen that appears
after you click [Browse] in the ScanFront Web Menu.)
This problem is due to the specifications of Windows 7
and Windows Server 2008 R2.
As a result, if you want to specify a shared folder on a
computer running these operating systems as the
destination for image files, you must enter the shared
folder manually. (When operating the ScanFront touch
panel to specify a shared folder as the destination
address, for example, enter the folder path in [Folder
path].) Instead of entering the full path in such cases,
you can press the [Browse] button after entering the
computer name and the path up until the top-most folder
of that computer, and then specify the rest of the path in
the screen that appears.
This problem does not occur when the supplied
ScanFront Service software is installed on the network.

● Limitations for Network Environments without
ScanFront Service

To send image files to destinations and devices, such as
the following, the supplied ScanFront Service software
must be installed on a computer on the same network as
the ScanFront scanner.
– Destinations (folders on computers, printers, etc.)

located on different segments of a network on which

a WINS server is not configured
– Printers on the network
– Certain NAS (network-attached storage)

Chapter 2 Handling

IMPORTANT

Make sure that document stacks placed in the feed tray do not
exceed the document guides.

Loading mark

The number of sheets that you can place in the scanner at
one time varies by paper size as follows.

Legal/A4 Size or Smaller:

50 sheets (stack 5 mm thick) or less

Sizes Larger than Legal/A4:

30 sheets (stacks 3 mm thick) or less

❏ Placing a Folded Document

Folio Scan enables you to scan documents that are larger
than Legal/A4 and therefore do not fit in the feeder. (The
maximum size is 11" X 17"/A3.) To use the function, fold
the document in half lengthwise and place it into the
feeder. The ScanFront 300/300P will scan both sides and
combine the scanned images into a single image.

IMPORTANT

• When folding the document, align the right and left sides and
create a sharp, straight fold. Otherwise the document may jam
or the image may not be aligned properly.

• The fold line itself will not be scanned. Keep this in mind if
there is content such as photos, diagrams, or text that spans
the fold.

• For Folio scanning, only the Page Separation OFF mode can
be used. Place documents one at a time.

• Adjust the document guides to fit the width of the document.
Otherwise, the image may scan as skewed or shifted.

Hint

• When scanning folded documents, switch the feed selection
lever to OFF. (See p. 2-5.)

• When placing folded documents, place the document into the
scanner so that the fold is on the right side. The side of the
folded document facing you will become the right side of the
combined image.

• When scanning a document that is folded in half, set
[Scanning Side] to [Folio].

• The maximum size for combined images is A3. When
scanning a folded document of a size other than the standard
formats, set [Page Size] to [Auto size].

• When scanning a document that is folded in half, set
[Resolution (dpi)] to 300 dpi or less.

• When scanning a document that is folded in half, the [Double
feed detection by Ultrasonic] function cannot be used.
