1.  ASCR Registration Process 
The ASCR System is accessed through the Warranty Programs tab of 
the e-Support Center web site.  In order to access the ASCR system, 
you will be required to re-enter your e-Support ID and password; if your 
ID and password do not work, instructions to enable it will appear.  
Select “New ASCR” to enter each model and serial number you intend to 
service  during your on-site service dispatch.  At this point, all service 
dispatches for that product will be sent to your dealership.  Do not enter 
a serial number for any product that you will not be able to service.  
When you enter the customer’s machine serial number, you have 
agreed to be dispatched by CITS if any of your registered customers 
contact CITS and a service dispatch is required.  
Note:  All calls dispatched by CITS must be closed out with CITS in 
order to qualify for labor compensation. To close out the service call, 
Section 2 of the Service Dispatch Form must be completed and e-mailed 
to  isgservice@CITS.canon.com. Canon USA will not  provide labor 
compensation for any service not dispatched by CITS.    
To submit a warranty claim for a defective part, please follow the e-Tag 
Warranty Claim form process. 
2.  Dispatch by CITS 
This is available to ASCR Registered Customers where the Warranty 
Marketing Program option has not been selected. 
Help desk support will be managed by CITS with dispatch to the Service 
Provider of record.  
CITS supports the end-user via the 1-800-423-2366 toll free telephone 
number to the CITS Call Center. The Call Center takes the first call from 
the customer and provides assistance as follows: 
1.  Answers product related questions 
2.  Assists the end-user with pre-and post-sales inquires 
3.  Redirects customer calls to the Service provider of record: If there is 
no Service Provider of record, CITS will: 
•  attempt to resolve hardware, software, and operational problems 
•  dispatch service when telephone based troubleshooting fails to 
resolve a problem 
To obtain reimbursement for service delivered during the end-user’s 
warranty, you must be dispatched by CITS. For this to occur, the end-
user must first contact CITS. CITS will then attempt all user-performed 
service remedies.
