all imageRUNNER 85 output functions

directly from their desktop. A dynamic

image of the installed imageRUNNER 85 is

displayed on the screen, indicating all

available hardware options, paper sizes,

and paper levels. If these attributes

change over the course of the day, the

driver is updated to reflect the changes so

that users are aware of the latest device

capabilities.

More advanced capabilities of the driver

include the ability to save frequently used

print job parameters, add watermarks,

and insert document annotations such

as names, dates, and so on. Users can

also save electronic forms and other

frequently printed files to one of the

imageRUNNER 85’s 100 Mail Boxes. And

Canon’s Page Composer software, a

make-ready tool that is embedded in the

printer driver, allows imageRUNNER 85

users to view the page layout of a docu-

ment prior to printing to ensure that their

output will print as expected.

Connectivity Software Simplified
In addition to easy-to-use print drivers, all

network print controllers ship standard

with Canon’s Remote User-interface (UI)

Software and NetSpot

®

Suite.

Using Canon’s Remote UI™ feature, a

user can access device status and config-

uration, job status, address books, and

more, simply by entering the IP address of

the device using a standard web browser.

Users can stop, start, or reprint jobs, and

send images stored in Mail Boxes, all from

a desktop PC, and with no additional soft-

ware requirements.

Canon’s NetSpot Suite consists of two

standard software utilities, and one

optional utility: NetSpot Console, NetSpot

Job Monitor, and NetSpot Accountant.

NetSpot Console is a web-based utility

capable of installing Canon networked

systems on most customer networks. In

addition to basic installation support,

NetSpot Console also notifies administra-

tors of device status conditions such as

low toner, paper jams, and others. What’s

more, NetSpot Console is also capable of

managing third-party printers complying

with the standard Printer MIB, thereby

consolidating network device manage-

ment via one utility.

To manage and track the progress of print

jobs, Canon provides

NetSpot

Job

Monitor. NetSpot Job Monitor runs as an

automated task in the Windows

®

Systems

Tray, and can be configured to report job

conditions based on administrator or end-

user preferences. A key feature of NetSpot

Job Monitor is the ability to deliver end-of-

job notification to end-users.

NetSpot Accountant* is an optional

utility that is capable of providing

comprehensive job tracking and analy-

sis for cost-accounting and workflow

optimization. Using NetSpot Accountant,

network administrators can track all

imageRUNNER 85 activities, and bill

internal or external clients for device

utilization.

In addition to the NetSpot utilities men-

tioned, Canon also supplies plug-in mod-

ules 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 per-

mits easy management of imageRUNNER 85

systems—and other Canon networked

devices—from directly within the enter-

prise-management system console.
