Finally, the availability of the tool is a complex issue. Canon does not distribute this software to the general public; it is intended strictly for authorized service centers. Consequently, versions found online are often cracked, modified, or infected with malware. Downloading "Service Tool V6000" from unverified sources poses a cybersecurity risk to the computer used to run it. Additionally, using such tools may void the warranty of the printer.
