They are not for all Canon printers.

Some printer's eg. latest MP's use manufacturer software only.

These instructions (even if you could understand them) cannot be for all Canon printers, because unless you have an All-In-One, you're not going to have a Copy or Scan button. Also, I know that to enter service mode on an MP780 you hit the following buttons in sequence: Copy-Menu-Scan-Copy-Scan.
