Let's break down the specific, practical tasks you can accomplish using the SST.
Broadens compatibility with the latest imageRUNNER ADVANCE series models, essential for maintaining new, high-speed MFPs.
: Formatting hard disks and installing system software or language modules.
Because SST communicates via direct TCP/IP sockets or legacy hardware lines, the host computer must be assigned a fixed IP address that matches the copier's service mode subnet. Canon Service Support Tool Sst Software V4.11 163
The primary role of the Service Support Tool is to bypass consumer-level interfaces to handle complex hardware management tasks. It is widely used to resolve fatal system loop errors (e.g., E000 codes) and configure freshly installed physical components.
