contrast, searching for PPDs with other systems requires browsing through
many files (for different models, applications, languages and operating sys-
tems).
 Facilitating the setup of multiple devices in a large installation is the Device
Information Delivery Function, which enables an administrator to remotely
copy all the settings of the imageRUNNER 3570 (such as default settings,
fax and e-mail destinations, etc.) to as many as 100 supporting imageRUN-
NER devices on the network. An administrator can also assign ascending IP
addresses to multiple devices all at once by entering a beginning range and
an ending range.
 Also aiding in the management of large installations is the optional Print
Server Appliance, which enables users to download preconfigured drivers
from the Web page of the Print Server Appliance, eliminating the need for
an administrator to load drivers onto each workstation one at a time.
— There are no pop-up error messages or icon alerts to notify end users of
warning conditions. Users must proactively check the Web page to check on
device or print job status.
 The Print Monitor utility, which requires the administrator to create a port
using Canon LPR 2.0 (which is a bit awkward since a standard TCP/IP port is
already created during installation of the imageRUNNER 3570) provides pop-
up job status messages indicating a job has been sent. Since the messaging
is limited, BLI recommends using the automated installation routine.
 imageWARE Enterprise Management Console can be configured to send pop-
up error messages to one or more administrators.
— Information regarding the amount of remaining paper and the size of paper
is displayed in the driver when clicking on a paper source, provided Canon’s
automated installation is used; however, obtaining accurate information
requires the user to first select to update status information, which requires
numerous steps (12 clicks of the mouse). And since users may not realize the
paper size or capacity information they see on the image of the device in the
driver may not be accurate, it could result in wasted paper and productivity.
 E-mail notifications of completed copy and scan jobs can be set up, but BLI
test technicians observed that users were not notified that a scan job was
not sent after attempting to send an e-mail to an incorrect address.
 E-mail notifications of errors can also be sent to designated operators.
