Canon imageRUNNER 5000i - Manual (Page 6)

Connectivity Software Simplified
Like all Canon networked systems, the imageRUNNER 5000i
comes equipped with a comprehensive set of system utilities
designed to simplify operation and management for both
end-users and network administrators. Through these tools,
Canon eases device installation and network management
while supplying a level of device status and job-management
capabilities unmatched in the industry. A description
of these utilities is outlined below:
Remote UI ™ – Canon’s Remote UI utility transforms a
user’s desktop into a remote access center for the
imageRUNNER 5000i. By entering the IP address of the
device from a standard web browser, users gain instant
access to device status and settings, job-management
functions, User Mail Boxes, and more – depending on a
user’s access privileges as assigned by the administrator.
NetSpot ® Console – NetSpot Console is a web-based utility
capable of installing and managing Canon networked systems,
including the imageRUNNER 5000i, on most customer
networks. Through NetSpot Console, network administrators
are provided a convenient, platform-independent utility to
install and manage Canon devices from anywhere within the
enterprise. In addition to basic installation support, NetSpot
Console also delivers administrator alerts, notifying
administrators of device status conditions such as low toner,
paper jams, and others. For added convenience, NetSpot
Console is also capable of managing third-party printers
complying with the standard Printer MIB, thereby consoli-
dating network device management via one utility.
NetSpot Job Monitor – To manage and track the progress of
print jobs, Canon supplies NetSpot Job Monitor. NetSpot Job
Monitor runs as an automated task in the Windows System Tray,
and can be configured to report job conditions based on
administrator or end-user preferences. Significant to NetSpot
Job Monitor is its ability to deliver end-of-job notification to end-
users, ensuring that they are always informed of the completion
of submitted work.
NetSpot Accountant* – NetSpot Accountant is an optional
utility available for the imageRUNNER 5000i that is capable
of providing comprehensive job tracking and analysis for cost
accounting and work-flow optimization. Using NetSpot
Accountant, network administrators can track all activity at
the imageRUNNER 5000i, including copying, printing, and
scanning, and billing internal or external clients for device
utilization. A wide range of configuration settings are
available for NetSpot Accountant, enabling administrators to
track device usage in a myriad of ways. NetSpot Accountant
is ideal for legal customers, or any customer who desires to
account for imageRUNNER 5000i device utilization.
Enterprise-management Integration – In addition to the
NetSpot utilities mentioned, Canon also supplies plug-in
modules for the most popular enterprise-management
applications in use today. Supported applications include
Microsoft ® Management Console, CA-Unicenter, HP ® OpenView ® ,
Tivoli ® NetView ® , and BMC Patrol ® . Through these plug-ins,
Canon permits easy management of imageRUNNER 5000i and
other Canon networked devices from directly within the
enterprise-management system console.
