A Tradition of Excellence
Canon pioneered connecting digita
mu tifunction devices to networks back
in 1994. Since then, we continue to
be the on y vendor to de iver network
connectivity at the time a product is
aunched. So, whi e other vendors are
making promises about their networked
capabi ities, Canon is de ivering them.
Like its Canon predecessors, the
imageRUNNER 8500 carries on Canon’s
networking tradition. imageRUNNER 8500
customers can se ect both copying and
printing capabi ities at the time of their
initia purchase, or they can add network
printing capabi ities ater on.
The Ideal Solution for
Production-level Environments
The imageRUNNER 8500 is idea y suited
for vo ume-intensive departments,
corporate in-p ants, print-for-pay out ets,
and digita service bureaus. With a print
contro er capab e of hand ing 10/100
Ethernet or Token Ring connections, and
PostScript® 3 Emu ation and PCL® 6 print
anguages, the imageRUNNER 8500 can
meet the needs of the most demanding
production environments.
Canon’s atest print contro er design
everages the unit’s Interna Image
Server and memory structure, ensuring
rapid first-page-out times, and quick
and efficient printing of common office
documents. Through Canon’s print
contro er, output is de ivered at the rated
print engine speed, thereby a owing users
to experience the enhanced productivity
and functiona ity of digita techno ogy
over ana og. And with the abi ity to
upgrade imageRUNNER 8500 functiona ity
to inc ude printing and scanning at a
ater date, you can configure the device
to hand e the document-management
needs of your organization over time.
Point-and-click O eration
One of the reasons why Canon has
become the eading provider of network-
connected systems in the marketp ace
today is because of its intuitive printer
driver software. imageRUNNER 8500
users wi find that Canon’s graphica
printer driver software is extreme y 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 a
imageRUNNER 8500 output functions
direct y from their desktops. A dynamic
image of the insta ed imageRUNNER 8500
is disp ayed on the screen and indicates
a avai ab e hardware options, paper
sizes, and paper eve s. If these attributes
change over the course of the day, the
driver is updated to ref ect the changes
so that users are aware of the atest
device capabi ities.
More advanced capabi ities of the
driver inc ude the abi ity to save frequent y
used print job parameters, insert
document annotations such as names,
dates, etc., add watermarks, and send
sensitive or confidentia documents to the
imageRUNNER 8500 as a Secured Print

destinations using MULTIPLE formats
in ONE simp e operation.
Send as an E-mail – Send scanned

mu tipage TIFF, or PDF.
Send as an Internet Fax – Bypass the
PSTN and send scanned documents
over the Internet as fax transmissions
at no cost.
Send to a File Server – Store scanned data
in a centra ized directory for archiva
purposes or sharing within workgroups
(FTP, Windows®, NetWare®).
Send to a Mail Box – Organize and
