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.
