1. Important Safety Instructions............................1-2
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
Page 18
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: MG1-4558
● 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,

1-3
Page 19
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
for further information.
■ Do not drop the scanner, or subject it to impact or
strong shock. Should the scanner ever become
damaged, immediately turn the power OFF, and
disconnect the power plug from the power outlet.
Then, contact your local authorized Canon dealer
or service representative to have the unit serviced.
■ Before moving the scanner, make sure to turn the
power OFF, and disconnect the power plug from
the power outlet.
CAUTION
■ Do not install the scanner on a surface that is
unstable or tilted, or in an area subject to
excessive vibrations, as this may cause the
scanner to fall, resulting in personal injury or
damage to the scanner.
■ Do not block the ventilation openings. Doing so
could cause the scanner to overheat, creating a
risk of fire.
■ Never place small metal objects such as staples,
paper clips, or jewelry on the scanner. These items
may fall into the scanner, and cause a fire or
electric shock. Should such objects ever fall inside
the scanner, immediately turn the power OFF, and
disconnect the power plug from the power outlet.
Then, contact your local authorized Canon dealer
or service representative to have the unit serviced.
■ Do not install the scanner in a humid or dusty
location. Doing so may result in a fire or electric
shock.
■ Do not place objects on top of the scanner, as they
may tip over and fall, resulting in personal injury.
■ Do not use the scanner with a power supply
voltage other than 120/220-240 VAC. Doing so
might cause fire or electric shock.
■ When disconnecting the power cord, grasp it firmly
by its plug. Do not pull directly on the power cord,
as this may damage or expose the cord’s internal
wiring, resulting in a fire or electric shock.
■ Leave sufficient space around the power plug so
that it can be disconnected easily. If objects are
placed around the power plug, you will be unable
to disconnect it in an emergency.

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.
1-11
Page 27
❏ Limitations
● 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 a different network segment
– Printers on the network
– Certain NAS (network-attached storage)
The ScanFront can scan documents in a range of sizes from business cards to Legal/A4.

5. Fingerprint Sensor (ScanFront 300P)
The ScanFront 300P is equipped with a fingerprint sensor for registering fingerprints and authenticating users.
The fingerprint sensor is a precision component. Be careful when handling this sensor.
Chapter 2 Handling
❏ Cautions for Handling the Fingerprint
Sensor
Fingerprint Sensor
● The following actions may damage the fingerprint
sensor or cause it to malfunction. Read this
information carefully to avoid damaging the
sensor.
– Dropping an object on the fingerprint sensor, or
otherwise subjecting it to a strong impact
– Scratching the surface of the fingerprint sensor,
or poking it with a pointed object
– Pressing a hard object such as a fingernail or
metal item against the fingerprint sensor
– Touching the fingerprint sensor with dirty hands
– Placing a sticker on the surface of the fingerprint
sensor, or covering the surface with ink or
another substance
● If fingerprint authentication fails frequently, the
fingerprint sensor may be dirty. Clean the surface
of the fingerprint sensor regularly.
● When cleaning the fingerprint sensor, use a soft
dry cloth to wipe dirt off the surface.
● Do not use a pointed object to remove any dirt that
accumulates around the fingerprint sensor. Doing
so may cause the fingerprint sensor to
malfunction.
● Touching the fingerprint sensor while charged with
static electricity may cause the fingerprint sensor
or scanner unit to malfunction. Before touching the
fingerprint sensor, discharge any static electricity
by touching a piece of metal. Be especially careful
during dry periods, such as the winter season,
when the likelihood of being charged with static
electricity is high.
2-11
Page 39
Chapter 2 Handling
❏ Fingerprint Authentication
● Follow the procedure below to use fingerprint
registration and authentication.
1. Align the first joint of a finger on the sensor and
press the finger on the fingerprint sensor.
2. Keep the finger pressed while slowly sliding it
straight at a constant speed to scan the
fingerprint.
● Fingerprint authentication uses the unique
information of fingerprints. The fingerprint
authentication function may not work properly for a
finger with a fingerprint that is worn down or has
few distinguishable features.
● The same finger needs to be scanned three times
to register the fingerprint.
● The authentication performance differs depending
on the condition of the fingerprint when it is
registered and when it is authenticated. The
following conditions may cause an error in
fingerprint authentication:
– The finger is wet or sweaty
– The finger is dirty
– The grooves of the fingerprint are filled with
sweat or oil
– The finger is dry (dry skin)
– Part of the fingerprint is missing because of, for
example, a wound or burn injury
– The fingerprint has worn thin
● Authentication performance may improve if the
condition of the fingerprint is improved as a result
of washing your hands or applying hand cream.
● Authentication may not be performed properly
depending on the speed with which you slide your
finger over the sensor. In this case, adjust the
speed with which you slide your finger in
accordance with the message that appears.
● Fingerprint authentication does not necessarily
guarantee the authentication and verification of the
identity of a person.
Hint
For details on the procedures for fingerprint registration and
authentication, see Chapter 5 “Operating Procedures”.

1. About ScanFront Service
ScanFront Service is software that supplements the network functions of the ScanFront. To use this software, install it on a computer
connected to the same network as the ScanFront. (The computer on which ScanFront Service is installed will be herein referred to
as the “ScanFront Service Server”.)
By configuring a ScanFront Service Server, you can send
scanned images to locations on the network, such as the
following, where direct transfer from the ScanFront is
disabled.
● Destinations (folders on computers, printers, etc.)
located on a different network segment
● Printers on the network
● Shared folders on a computer that is specified by IP
address
● Certain NAS (network-attached storage)
Scanned images from the ScanFront are sent via the
ScanFront Service Server to the user specified destination.
Up to 100 ScanFront scanners can be connected to a single
ScanFront Service Server. However, only up to 15 ScanFront
scanners can communicate with the ScanFront Service Server
at any one time.

Chapter 5 Operating Procedures
6. Fingerprint Registration (Only Available with the ScanFront 300P)
Fingerprint authentication is a function for registering the fingerprints of users that will log in when the device authentication or
server authentication method is used, and enables users to log in by authenticating their fingerprints. When fingerprint
authentication is used, there is no need to select a user in the list type login screen or enter a user name and password in the key in
type login screen. For details on handling the fingerprint sensor, see “Fingerprint Sensor (ScanFront 300P)” on p. 2-11.
❏ Fingerprint Authentication
● Follow the procedure below to use fingerprint
registration and authentication.
1. Align the first joint of a finger on the sensor and
press the finger on the fingerprint sensor.
2. Keep the finger pressed while slowly sliding it
straight at a constant speed to scan the
fingerprint.
● Fingerprint authentication uses the unique
information of fingerprints. The fingerprint
authentication function may not work properly for a
finger with a fingerprint that is worn down or has
few distinguishable features.
● The same finger needs to be scanned three times
to register the fingerprint.
● The authentication performance differs depending
on the condition of the fingerprint when it is
registered and when it is authenticated. The
following conditions may cause an error in
fingerprint authentication:
– The finger is wet or sweaty
– The finger is dirty
– The grooves of the fingerprint are filled with
sweat or oil
– The finger is dry (dry skin)
– Part of the fingerprint is missing because of, for
example, a wound or burn injury
– The fingerprint has worn thin
● Authentication performance may improve if the
condition of the fingerprint is improved as a result
of washing your hands or applying hand cream.
● Authentication may not be performed properly
depending on the speed with which you slide your
finger over the sensor. In this case, adjust the
speed with which you slide your finger in
accordance with the message that appears.
● Fingerprint authentication does not necessarily
guarantee the authentication and verification of the
identity of a person.
