The Education/Training (listed in preferred order) of a successful Canon
dealership's SE include:
1. Novell CNA or Novell CNE or Microsoft MCSE certification
2. Two years of experience being a Canon Copier Service Technician
(training centered on connectivity products)
3. A degree in Computer Science or Engineering, or a computer technician

I. Firmware Upgrades Using the Service Support Tool
The SST (Service Support Tool) (version 4.72 or later) is available via
Canon's e-Support Center Web site (http://www.support.cusa.canon.com) for
upgrading the following system components:
• System Software stored on the HDD
• Main engine firmware
• Accessory firmware (Refer to the SST User Manual for a list of supported
devices and accessories.)
• MEAP Contents
• Language
• HDD Format
• RUI (Remote User Interface) stored on the HDD
• BootROM stored on a FDIMM (Flash Double Inline Memory Module) on
the Main Controller PCB (Printed Circuit Board)
The imageRUNNER ADVANCE 8200 Series devices support firmware
downloads from the SST and a USB memory stick. When the hard disk drive
is replaced, the SST is used to format the new HDD and load software.
IMPORTANT
• The imageRUNNER ADVANCE Security Kit-G1 for IEEE 2600.1 Common
Criteria Certification ships with certified device firmware to enable the
imageRUNNER ADVANCE 8200 Series machines to be IEEE 2600.1
certified.
• Once the imageRUNNER ADVANCE Security Kit-G1 for IEEE 2600.1
Common Criteria Certification is installed, you can only upgrade
imageRUNNER ADVANCE 8200 Series machines with firmware versions
certified for the IEEE standard 2600.1-2009. Upgrading to non-certified
firmware invalidates the IEEE standard 2600.1 certification, although the
machine will continue to operate properly.
