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

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.

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 overnight. Also, turn OFF the power, and 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 hand on the edge of a sheet of paper.

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

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.
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. You can authenticate ScanFront users and reference e­mail addresses for registration to the address book using the user information registered on the OpenLDAP server.

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
