Chapter 1 Before Use

1. Important Safety Instructions

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

❏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.

●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.

●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.

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,

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 e-

mail addresses for registration to the address book using

the user information registered on the OpenLDAP

server.

1-11

Chapter 1 Before Use

❏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)

Length: 2 1/8" to 14" (53.9 mm to 355.6 mm)

(up to 39.3" (1,000 mm) in Long Document mode)

Thickness for Page Separation ON

14 lb to 57 lb bond (52 g/m2 to 209 g/m2)

Thickness for Page Separation OFF

11 lb to 57 lb bond (40 g/m2 to 209 g/m2)

IMPORTANT

A document must meet the following criteria to be scannable:

• When scanning a multipage document, pages must be

grouped together so that they have the same size, thickness,

and weight. Scanning different types of paper at one time can

cause the scanner to jam.

• Always make sure that the ink on a document is dry before

scanning it. Scanning documents with the ink still wet may soil

the rollers or scanning glass, cause lines or smudges to

appear on images, or dirty other documents.

• Always clean the rollers or scanning glass after scanning a

document written in pencil. Scanning documents with pencil

written on them may soil the rollers or scanning glass, cause

stripes to appear in images, or dirty other documents.

• When scanning a two-sided document that is printed on thin

paper, the image on the opposite side of each page may show

through. Adjust the brightness in the scanning conditions

before scanning the document.

• Note that scanning the following types of documents can

cause a paper jam or malfunction. To scan such a document,

make a photocopy of the document and then scan the

photocopy.

❏Business Card

Chapter 2 Handling

IMPORTANT

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

exceed the document guides.

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

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. Before Setting Up the Scanner

Before setting up the scanner, you need to move it to the installation site, and connect the AC adaptor and network cable.

❏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.

●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.

●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).

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.
