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.
