Buyers Laboratory Lab Test Report

Performance Overview

,— and represent positive, negative and neutral attributes, respectively.

The Canon imageRUNNER 3570 is based on a highly reliable engine that completed its 170,000-impressiondurability test with just one service call, which was simply for preventive maintenance, and four misfeeds, for a misfeed rate of one per 42,500 impressions.

—The life of the unit’s drum, at 85,000 impressions, is lower than average, potentially resulting in the need for more frequent service intervention than competitive models.

The unit offers good multitasking capabilities overall, with no hesitation or delays between jobs or while programming jobs.

—Up to four copy jobs can be programmed ahead and initiated while another copy job is in progress (five while a print job is in progress). A sixth job can be programmed ahead, but will not be scanned into memory until a reserve job slot becomes available. Some models in this speed range enable users to program a greater number of copy jobs while another is in progress.

The number of print jobs that can reside at the device is limited only by resources.

Up to five copy jobs can always reside at the device, regardless of the number of print jobs that are in queue.

—To reserve a copy job while copy jobs are running or reserved, the user must select “Done” from the dialog box that pops up on the screen showing selected features after a job is programmed. This closes the dialog box and allows the user to program another job. With some systems, the user can reserve a copy job without having to press a key.

A priority level of 1, 2 or 3, with 1 being the highest priority, can be assigned to various functions. If the priority level for the copy function is set to 1, and print is set to 2 or 3, all remaining print jobs (except the current one, which runs to completion) are moved down in the queue to give priority to any waiting copy jobs. If functions are assigned equal priority, jobs are processed in the order in which they are received.

Canon imageRUNNER 3570

Buyers Laboratory Lab Test Report

Although not required to program a copy job during a print job, the Interrupt function performed very well. An interrupting copy job can use all typical features (e.g., RADF, duplexing, finishing) and can begin scanning even before the current job stops. After completion of the interrupting job, the unit automatically restarts the job that was interrupted.

—The network TWAIN scan function requires a walk-upuser to place the scanner in an online mode, during which Internet fax and copy functions cannot be used. Full capability is restored when the unit is returned to offline mode, which can be done manually at the control panel or the unit can be set up to automatically revert to offline mode after two minutes. This is not an issue with the Universal Send functionality.

Programming of the next copy job can begin as soon as all the pages of the current copy or scan job have been scanned.

Administrative utilities for the imgeRUNNER 3570 include the unit’s Remote

User Interface (its embedded Web page) and imageWARE Enterprise Management Console. imageWare Enterprise Management Console is HTML-basedand in addition to enabling discovery of Canon as well asnon-Canondevices on the network, enables viewing all devices or groups of devices that meet specified criteria. Administrators can choose to view network devices in a list view or in a map view that shows their location in an enterprise.

License Management System eliminates the need for installation of a module or additional software to add capabilities such as Universal Send functionality to the system. Instead, these capabilities are built into the imagePlatform architecture and can be activated simply by entering a code at the control panel.

The Remote User Interface is very easy to navigate and offers a broad range of functionality. It allows remote configuration of network settings, setup of LDAP and authentication, viewing of counters for every function (copy, print, send, receive) and remote programming and management of addresses for scan, e-mail,fax and Internet fax destinations, as well as management of mailboxes.

The Remote User Interface also provides device status information such as the approximate amount of available paper, although information on remaining toner is vague (i.e., “some”).

The Web utility provides extensive information on jobs via the job management tab. Information includes user name, status of the job and number of pages. There are separate logs for print jobs, copy jobs, send jobs and received faxes.

The Remote User Interface allows direct printing of PDF files.

Plug-insfor HP Web Jetadmin are made available for Canon products, so users of this popular management utility will be able to use it to manage Canon devices, as well.

Configuration of network settings can be easily performed both from the control panel and remotely via the Remote User Interface.

—The print drivers do not auto-launchupon insertion of the CD into the drive.

In addition, each of the unit’s drivers requires a separate installation.

An installation utility built into the drivers CD automatically locates the machine and creates the port. For administrators who prefer to create the port manually, Canon provides a utility that walks the user through the process.

The drivers automatically detect configured accessories, eliminating the need for an administrator to manually specify configured accessories.

Greatly enhancing setup is the organization of PPDs into separate folders on the CD, making it very easy for an administrator to find the correct PPD. In

Buyers Laboratory Lab Test Report

contrast, searching for PPDs with other systems requires browsing through many files (for different models, applications, languages and operating systems).

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-maildestinations, etc.) to as many as 100 supporting imageRUNNER 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-uperror 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 popup 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 popup 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-mailnotifications 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 ane-mailto an incorrect address.

 E-mailnotifications of errors can also be sent to designated operators.

The Remote User Interface enables users to check device status, such as the approximate amount of remaining paper, as well as toner, staples and punch waste gauges.

Extensive information on the status of all types of jobs—print,fax, scan andcopy—isavailable via the Remote User Interface.

Configured as tested with the optional Multi-PDLPrinterKit-E1,which includes the network interface, the Canon imageRUNNER 3570 offers PCL 5e, PCL 6, PostScript 3 (emulation) and Canon’s UFR (Ultra Fast Rendering)

II print drivers. When the UFR II driver is used, the processing load is shared between the imageRUNNER 3570 and the user’s PC. All of the drivers share a similar layout and appearance, making use easier when switching between drivers.

The drivers are graphical and easy to use, and enable point-and-clickselection of the desired paper source.

—Some commonly used features cannot be programmed from the main screen.

Duplexing and finishing, for example, are located under the finishing tab.

The drivers offer a good feature set that includes secure print; proof print; promote print, which enables users to move their job ahead of others in the queue; the ability to save settings of frequently used jobs as profiles that can be applied to other print jobs in a single step; the ability to view selected settings; and the ability to select from up to three paper sources for a single job.

Selecting Edit and Preview before printing a document automatically opens the Canon PageComposer utility to allow viewing the pages of the document as thumbnail images, deleting pages, changing the order of files, changing print settings, and combining two or more documents created in different applications into one file.

The UFR II driver also has a selection for insertion of banner pages between print jobs.

Another noteworthy feature is the ability to build complex jobs consisting of mixed paper sizes and orientations.

—Although an approximate amount of remaining paper is displayed when the user clicks on a particular paper drawer on a graphical depiction of the product in the driver, the information is not accurate unless the user first updates the information. Updating the information is not practical since it cannot be done within the application and is a procedure that requires 12 clicks of the mouse.

The unit supports simultaneous RIP and print, which means that printing can begin while the document is still being processed and another can be processed while a job is printing.

When printing multiple collated sets, Collate can be selected from either the print screen within the application or from the properties screen of the driver without increasing the size of the file.

—When a print job requiring a paper size that is not currently available on the device is sent to the device, other copy and print jobs sent to the device are held up until a user rectifies the situation.

No problems were experienced with any of the applications used in the applications compatibility tests. Units are tested for compatibility on Windows 2000 platforms with Microsoft Word 2000, Microsoft PowerPoint 2000, Microsoft Excel 2000, Adobe PageMaker 7.0, Adobe Photoshop 6.0 and Adobe Acrobat 6.0 using 25 application test files, which contain text, graphics, halftone images, tables, etc., enabling BLI technicians to evaluate memory usage, file processing, font rendering and grayscale capability.

BLI tested the imageRUNNER 3570 with optional Universal Send, which offers very easy-to-useandfeature-richscan functionality. It supports network authentication (whereby users can be required to enter their network user name and password to access the unit’s functions) and LDAP, which means that users can search fore-mailaddresses residing on network mail servers (up to five LDAP directories can be searched) from the control panel of the imageRUNNER. LDAP searches are not possible from the Web utility. Destinations can also be easily programmed remotely from the Web utility or manually entered at the control panel’s QWERTY keypad, in spite of the unit’s relatively small keys.

Universal Send supports scanning to e-mail,Internet fax destinations, FTP sites and the desktops of users running eCopy Desktop (optional software that allows users to work with and OCR scanned documents). Further, users can send a document to multiple types of destinations in one session.

Unlike other scan solutions BLI has tested, Universal Send displays a preview of the scanned image that users can check before sending the file.

Another noteworthy feature of Universal Send is embedded URL Send, which automatically sends a link to a recipient, rather than an entire document

(the link is created automatically when a user selects the function); the recipient can use the link to access the document stored on the hard drive of the imageRUNNER. By eliminating the need to have very large documents transmitted across the network, this feature reduces network traffic.

An optional PDF Enhancement Kit for Universal Send provides two noteworthy capabilities. It enables saving of scanned documents so that they are

OCR-searchablePDF files and allows users to set a password to be able to open, print or edit sent documents.

The imageRUNNER 3570’s efficiency in the job stream test is competitive.

Overall print efficiency when producing multiple sets is competitive for tested models in this speed range in both duplex and simplex modes.

While first-copytime from the platen is slower than the average at 6.8 seconds,first-copytime from the document feeder is competitive at 8.9 seconds.

In copy mode, overall efficiency is competitive in all three primary copy modes (1:1, 1:2 and 2:2).

The imageRUNNER 3570 features the same highly intuitive 6-1/4'x4-5/8'color LCDtouch-screencontrol panel as other imageRUNNER devices, which is a favorite of BLI test technicians.

The default main screen lists selections for Copy, Send and Mailbox keys. Users can specify one of the other menus or a screen for an optional MEAP application to be the default screen for walk-upusers.

Though not all of the features required for typical copy jobs can be programmed from the main screen, they are selectable from the main screen and, when selected, bring the user to another screen where the settings can be programmed.

The imageRUNNER 3570 offers outstanding guidance to users via contextsensitive instructions, which are automatically displayed to walk-upusers step by step through the process of programming functions.

Enhancing ease of use from the control panel are a contrast adjustment dial for the display, a Help key that provides information on a range of topics, the ability to review the settings for a job, and a very detailed job queue with information on the current job (including the number of sets programmed and the number of sets produced) and pending copy and print jobs. Users can view separate queues for copy, fax, send (scan) and receive jobs. The print queue lists both print and copy jobs. While copy jobs can be deleted with the Stop hard key, print jobs can be deleted by highlighting the job, selecting Cancel and then confirming the desire to delete the job by responding to a prompt. Jobs can be moved up to the next position in the queue using the Print Next key.

the drawers do not automatically detect paper size, the user must adjust a dial at the front of the paper drawer to register the new size. If users don’t register the new size, the wrong size paper will be indicated at the control panel and misfeeding could occur. In addition, users must specify the size of paper loaded in the bypass tray at the control panel.

BLI test technicians praised the guidance provided by the graphical illustrations and messages that appear on the display to help the user clear misfeeds. The only criticisms cited were that the instructions did not explain how to move the unit’s finisher toward the front of the unit for misfeed access and the finisher itself is not clearly labeled. In addition, the error indicator did not clear after misfeeds were removed.

—Note that if a user is not careful when closing the right side door, the upper portion of the door may not completely close, which could result in a misfeed.

 This unit also offers a choice of scan options (see “Scan Functions”).

The unit offers 512 MB of RAM and a 20-GBhard disk drive (HDD) to store documents in mail boxes, with the number of documents that can be stored in a mail box limited only by memory. Further, the contents of the mail boxes can be backed up via the Remote User Interface onto another device or server, for example.

The imageRUNNER 3570 offers traditional fax capability with singleor dual-linefax options. Fax features include a33.6-Kbpsmodem with JBIG compression,multi-accessand 200one-touchorspeed-dialbuttons. PC and network faxing are also available with the optional fax boards.

Canon’s MEAP (Multifunctional Embedded Application Platform) architecture enables the unit to run embedded applications that add functionality, customizes the control panel to streamline workflow and integrates with a range of document management applications.

In addition to offering secure print and network user authentication, the imageRUNNER 3570 offers an optional security kit that encrypts data, automatically overwrites all information stored on the hard drive, and conceals the job log.

The PDF Encryption mode, which is included with the optional Universal Send PDF Enhancement Kit, enables users to encrypt a scanned document with either 40-bitor128-bitencryption, set a password to open the document and set a separate password for recipients to edit, change or print the document.

Standard MAC address filtering allows administrators to limit which users can access the unit. In addition, imageWARE Enterprise Management Console allows an administrator to restrict access based on IP address, NetBios name or DNS name, gives administrators the ability to erase all documents stored on the hard drive and network user authentication (whereby users can access the device only after entering the same user name and password as is required to access their network-connectedPC).

Several options contribute to Section 508 compliance. These include a Braille kit. They also include the Remote Operator’s Software Kit, which enables

SUPPORTING TEST DATA

Test Environment

This product was tested in BLI’s 10,000-square-foottest lab, in an environment monitored by a Honeywell Temp/RH chart recorder, which replicates typical office conditions.

Test Equipment

BLI’s dedicated test network, consisting of Windows NT 4.0, 2000 and Microsoft Exchange servers, Windows XP Professional and Windows 2000 Professional workstations, 10BaseT/ 100BaseTX network switches and CAT5 cabling.

Test Duration

Products are tested for two months, five weeks of which consists of a durability test during which the product is run at its manufacturer-ratedmaximum monthly duty cycle, with 50 percent of the test volume comprised of copy jobs and 50 percent comprised of print jobs. BLI’s daily test usage is designed to replicatereal-worlduse over aneight-hourworkday, and as such includes a mix ofvarious-sizedocuments, simplex and duplex modes, and a mix of short, moderate and long run lengths, and on/off cycles, throughout the day. The durability evaluation also includes testing of the document feeder/scanner for an additional 10 percent of the monthly maximum volume, evenly divided over the course of the test.

Tested Configuration

Base unit, plus optional Multi-PDLPrintKit-E1,internal finisher, LCT, Universal Send and the

PDF Enhancement Kit.

Test Procedures

The test methods and procedures employed by BLI in its lab testing include BLI’s proprietary procedures and industry-standardtest procedures, including aBLI-developedvariation of ASTM’s1318-90Test Method for Determination of Productivity using Electrostatic Copy Machines. In addition to a number of proprietary test documents, BLI uses anindustry-stan-dard Katun test original for evaluating black image quality and test suites from Quality Logic to evaluate applications compatibility. In addition to a visual observation, color print quality is tested using the ANSI standard IT8 Color Test Target, which is read using the Minolta CM503I Spectrophotometer, and samples are analyzed using the CIE XY Chromaticity Diagram. In addition, density of black and color output is measured using anX-Rite428 Densitometer. Georgia-

Pacific Spectrum DP 20-lb.bond is used in the tests, 10 percent of which is recycled paper containing 30 percentpost-consumercontent. Image quality is tested usingGeorgia-Pacific

Printing Paper (95 brightness, 22-lb.bond).

MULTITASKING

MULTITASKING EVALUATION

NOTE: A “Yes” indicates that the user can initiate the secondary function while the primary function is taking place and that no further user intervention will be required for the secondary function to take place.

In addition to a single-usermultitasking test, which evaluates a unit’s ability to initiate or perform one function while another function is already in progress (see chart above), BLI also tests a multifunctional product’s ability to handle multiple jobs that would be likely to stack up in amulti-usernetworked environment.
