Point-and-click Operation

One of the reasons why Canon has become the leading provider of network- connected systems in the marketplace today is because of its intuitive printer driver software. imageRUNNER 8500 users will find that Canon’s graphical printer driver software is extremely easy to use, even if they have had no prior experience using a network-connected device. Through the printer driver soft- ware, users have immediate access to all imageRUNNER 8500 output functions directly from their desktops. A dynamic image of the installed imageRUNNER 8500 is displayed on the screen and indicates 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, insert document annotations such as names, dates, etc., add watermarks, and send sensitive or confidential documents to the imageRUNNER 8500 as a Secured Print so that it will not be output until the user enters a password at the device control
