Canon Laser

I'm wondering if this can extract Canon Laster printers' firmware (testing on a MF741C/743C model). I downloaded the firmware tool from here and then extracted a binary with a 4E 43 46 57 ... NCFW... header. I decrypted it with pixma_decrypt and ended up with a file with header:

00000000: 53 46 30 39 30 30 0d 0a 6e 76 6d 3d 10 30 30 30  SF0900..nvm=.000
00000010: 00 35 2b 66 30 30 0d 0a 53 46 30 35 30 30 30 30  .5+f00..SF050000
00000020: 34 2f c2 db 30 ad 0e 0d ab be 36 3c 3c 3d 3e 3f  4/..0.....6<<=>?
...
...

Now I'm not sure about the next step grep -v -e '^SF' decoded.asc | srec_cat -o decoded.bin -binary; is the point to concat all blocks starting with SF, other than the first one, with srec? because with such command currently, grep outputs Binary file decoded_fw.bin matches so I don't know how that is piped to srec.

I appreciate any feedback.

Looks, like the decrypter only found the key for the first 32 (2 x 16) bytes. With Pixma printer, the same key is used für every 16 byte block, but judging from your output, the firmware that you want to decrypt uses a different key scheme, as you have non-ascii characters starting at offset 32, so the key is "modified" every 32 bytes making grep output that you try to decode a binary file, which of course doesn't work.

I see, do you have any tips on how to go through with decrypting/unpacking it?
Header starts with

I can't find any info about its format. My last resort would be to reverse the firmware tool and find out what it is doing.
