IX.  Product Technical Support Offerings 
A.  Authorized Service Providers 
Service is provided through a Canon USA Authorized Service Provider or 
through a third-party service company managed by CITS. Canon USA 
authorized service providers are expected to service the equipment they 
sell. Since these products are also available through a sales-only 
distribution channel, the serial number of the product must be registered to 
the service provider of record through the ASCR System (refer to the 
ASCR (Authorized Servicer Customer Registration) System, (Page 16) in 
order to ensure that service is not provided through a third-party service 
company. 
B.  Authorization Policy 
To become service authorized and maintain authorization to service the 
imagePROGRAF models, each service provider’s location must have at 
least one (1) technician who have been certified on the imagePROGRAF
