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.
At least
25.59" (65 cm)
● 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.
● 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).
14
Page 15
Chapter 1 Before Use
❏ 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.
● 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: MG1-5039
● 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 9.92 lbs (4.5 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.
15
Page 16
Chapter 1 Before Use
■ The supplied power cord set is intended for use
with this scanner only. Do not use it with other
electronic equipment. In addition, do not use
power cord sets other than the one supplied with
the scanner. Doing so may result in fire or electric
shock.
■ 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.
■ 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.
■ 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.
16
Page 17
Chapter 1 Before Use
■ 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.
■ Do not allow water or flammable substances
(alcohol, paint thinner, benzene, etc.) to spill into
the scanner, as this may result in a fire or electric
shock.
■ Turn OFF the power for safety when not using the
scanner for a long period of time, such as

disconnect the AC adapter from the scanner and
disconnect the power cord from the power outlet
for safety when the machine will not be used for an
extended period of time, such as during
consecutive holidays.
■ Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry that may get
caught in the scanner while you are using it. This
may result in personal injury. Be extra careful of
neckties and long hair. If anything becomes caught
in the scanner, immediately disconnect the power
cord to stop the scanner.
■ Be careful when placing paper in the scanner and
when removing jammed paper. It is possible to cut

your network administrator.
❏ 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

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.
● 1000Base-T Support
The scanner supports 1000Base-T. 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
Transmission may not be possible depending on
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 using the FTP print function of a printer connected
to the same network with the ScanFront, you can print
scanned images.
23
Page 24
❏ 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.

Page 47
Chapter 3 Handling
4. Adjust the document guides to fit the width of the
document.
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.
A4/LTR Size or Smaller:
Less than 60 sheets (22 lb bond (80g/m
stacks do not exceed 10 mm in height (including curls).
2
)). Make sure
Sizes Larger than A4/LTR:
Less than 40 sheets (22 lb bond (80g/m
2
)). Make sure
stacks do not exceed 10 mm in height (including curls).
❏ Placing a Folded Document
Folio Scan enables you to scan documents that are larger
than A4/LTR and therefore do not fit in the feeder. (The
maximum size is 11" × 17"/A3.) To use the function, fold
the document in half lengthwise and place it into the
feeder. The ScanFront 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.
47
Page 48
Chapter 3 Handling
• For Folio scanning, set [Non Separation Feeding Mode] to
[ON]. 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 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.
❏ Placing a Long Document
You scan documents up to 120" (3048 mm) in length.
IMPORTANT
• When scanning a long document, set [Page Size] to [Auto size
(Long)].

Chapter 3 Handling
CAUTION
• Place the cards one at a time.
• When scanning cards, place them to be fed horizontally. If you
place cards to be fed vertically, they may not be ejected
properly, and cards that get jammed may be damaged when
you remove them.
• When scanning cards, set [Double feed detection by
Ultrasonic] to [OFF] in the Detailed Settings screen. (See
p. 89.)
• Pull the lock lever and open the panel unit before removing a
placed card. Inserting a finger into the scanner while the panel
unit is closed may result in an injury.

placed on the scanner at the same time. In such cases, set
[Document type] to [Extra-thick paper/plastic card] in the
Detailed Settings screen. (See p. 94.)
❏ Placing a Carrier Sheet
When scanning a document that requires extra protection
from damage, insert the document into an optional carrier
sheet before placing it in the scanner.
1. Set [Document type] to [Carrier sheet] in the Detailed
Settings screen. (See p. 94.)
2. Insert the document into the carrier sheet.
3. Load the document with the page you want to scan
facing down.
After placing the document, align the document guides
with both edges of the document.
CAUTION
• If the carrier sheet or passport is not loaded properly, you may
get a document jam or not get a scan image as intended
• When [Carrier sheet] is selected, [Double feed detection by
Ultrasonic] will be set to [OFF] automatically.
IMPORTANT
• Insert documents straight into the center of the carrier sheet.
Proper scanning will not be possible if the document is too
close to either side, tilted, or protruding from the carrier sheet.

Page 51
• When [Carrier sheet (passport type)] is selected, [Double feed
detection by Ultrasonic] will be set to [OFF] automatically.
IMPORTANT
• Depending on the condition of the carrier sheet or passport,
the scanned image may be cut off and the scanner's
correction functions may not operate properly. In such cases,
specify a larger paper size (e.g., A4) in the [Page Size] setting.
(See p. 86.)
• If the size of the passport is significantly different from the size
of the carrier sheet, document jamming may occur and the
scanner's correction functions may not operate properly.
• The thickness limit for scannable documents is 0.236" (6 mm)
with the passport inserted in the carrier sheet. If 0.236" (6 mm)
is exceeded, document jamming may occur and the scanner
may be damaged.
• Documents other than passports should not be inserted into
the carrier sheet and scanned. This may cause the scanner to
break down.
• The carrier sheet is a consumable item. Replace it as
necessary, if there are visible scratches or smudges, for
example.
