Canon’s NetSpot

®

Suite

Connectivity Software Simplified

Like  all  Canon  networked  systems,  the

imageRUNNER  8500  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 installa-

tion  and  network  management  while 

supplying a  level  of  device  status  and 

job-management capabilities unmatched

in  the  industry.  Canon’s  NetSpot  Suite

consists of the three utilities outlined below:

NetSpot  Console  –

NetSpot  Console  is 

a  web-based  utility  capable  of  installing

and managing Canon networked systems,

including  the  imageRUNNER  8500,  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  adminis-

trators  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 consolidating 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  8500  that  is  capable  of

providing  comprehensive job  tracking

and  analysis  for  cost accounting  and

workflow  optimization.  Using  NetSpot

Accountant,  network administrators  can

track all activity at the imageRUNNER 8500,

including copying, printing, and scanning,

and billing internal or external clients for

device utilization. A wide range of config-

uration 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  8500

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 8500

and  other  Canon  networked  devices  from

directly within the enterprise-management

system console.
