Scan2x Manual Setup for Canon ScanFront 400 network scanner

The Canon ScanFront 400 network scanner is a combination of a cutting-edge document scanner design and a full colour touch-sensitive screen which allows Scan2x to give users a fully immersive document scanning experience from one device.

The ScanFront 400 unit is shipped with a basic built-in application that allows for simple jobs to be configured and output to a limited number of destinations. To prepare the unit to run Scan2x from the Scan2x server, several steps need to be followed.
