Canon ScanFront 220/220P System Software Update
Instructions
ScanFront 220/220P system software updates are distributed as .bin files. These files can be downloaded from the Drivers and Downloads area of the Canon USA support web site (http://www.usa.canon.com/html/download/sf220.html). Before you can download the update file you will be prompted to input the 17 digit alphanumeric Product Key located on the underside label of the ScanFront. When entering the Product Key be sure to use upper case for any alpha characters in the key. Once the file is downloaded the device can be updated using the same ScanFront Administrator Mode Web Menu that is used for configuration and day to day management of the device. The following are the procedures for applying these software updates.
The configured settings of the device should be backed up before performing a system software update. Applying new system software will not erase configuration settings such as user accounts, address book entries, job buttons, etc., but it is always advised to perform a device backup before performing any software update. With that in mind this document starts with instructions for backing up the configured settings on the ScanFront in the event those settings need to be restored after the system software has been updated.
