Estimated Installation Time

The estimated length of time needed to unpack and install the machine is approximately 5.2 minutes[3]. This is based on one (1) experienced technician or end-user.

Notes on the Wireless LAN

  • The imageCLASS MF232w machine is designed for indoor use, and must be kept at a close distance (approximately 16.4' (5 m)) from an access point.
  • It is recommended to check if masking is found. Communications between walls and floors can deteriorate; therefore, arrange for the proper installation of the machine to reduce any deterioration in communications.
  • Radio wave interference may occur if radio wave equipment, such as a microwave is near the machine, and it is in the same frequency band as the radio wave used by the wireless LAN. Keep the machine away from radio wave sources as much as possible.

Firmware Upgrade

The imageCLASS MF236n and imageCLASS MF232w support two methods to upgrade the firmware.

  1. Upgrading with the UST
    Firmware is available for download on the Canon USA public Web site (http://www.usa.canon.com/support). When servicing the machine, make sure to go to the Canon USA public Web site, and download the most recent firmware.
    Note:
    • A computer and the most recent UST (User Support Tool) file are required to install upgraded firmware.
    • The UST and firmware are included in the firmware package download from the Canon USA public Web site.
  2. Upgrading via the Internet
    The imageCLASS MF236n and imageCLASS MF232w firmware can be upgraded without the use of an external PC.
    • To upgrade the firmware via Internet, the Serial Number of the machine must be written on the Main Controller PCB, and the BODY number must be registered in the Service Mode.
    • The machine must also be connected to a network with Internet access.
      After the machine's firmware is updated, the machine restarts and installs the update. For more information on updating firmware without a PC, see the imageCLASS MF230 Series Service Manual.

Service Support Tools

The only tools required for servicing the imageCLASS MF236n/MF232w are part of the technician's standard tool set. No special tools are required.
The oil in the table below should also be carried to ensure the imageCLASS MF236n and MF232w are serviced properly. For more information on the oil below, see the imageCLASS MF 230 Series Service Manual.
