2.2 High-Resolution Imaging System for Copied and Printed Images
The imageRUNNER ADVANCE C7500 III Series provides a
high-resolution imaging system. This system renders images at a maximum print
resolution of 2,400 x 2,400 dpi. Object-optimized imaging also helps to achieve the
desired print quality. Text and lines are processed with a high-priority given to
resolution, and images and graphics are processed with a high-priority given to
gradation. This high-resolution imaging system, coupled with the Density Detection
Adjustment mode, a feature that refines thin, fine text, and lines while the device is
rendering images at 2,400 x 2,400 dpi, minimizes faint output and delivers quality
prints.
2.3 Image Stabilization Control
The quality of printed images is affected by changes in the environment, such as
temperature and humidity in which the machine is installed. Image quality is also
affected by the deterioration of image formation parts through extended use. The
imageRUNNER ADVANCE C7500 III Series reduces these issues, stabilizes
image production, and maintains consistency with features, such as the Auto
Gradation Adjustment mode, Density Detection, and accurate left and right
registration (1-Sided: ± 1.5 mm), (2-Sided: ± 2.0).
2.3.1 Automatic Gradation Adjustment
Automatic Gradation Adjustment is a function that helps to automatically adjust
toner density. Select from the Quick Adjustment mode or Full Adjustment mode.
The Quick Adjustment mode quickly and simply adjusts the gradation and density
by performing calibration without outputting test prints. The Full Adjustment mode
performs a precise calibration by outputting and scanning test prints. For more
information on the Automatic Gradation Adjustment modes, see
“Adjustment/Maintenance,” in the Settings/Registration e-Manual included with
the machine.
2.3.2 Accurate Registration
Image registration can be finely adjusted by manually specifying an exact
adjustment value for every user-specified paper type. For more information, see
the e-Manual included with the machine.

Version 3 imageRUNNER ADVANCE C7500 III Series Customer Expectations Document Page 10
2.4 Unified Firmware Platform
The UFP (Unified Firmware Platform) provides a common firmware base across all
Third Generation imageRUNNER ADVANCE devices. This makes it possible to
unify development, and reflect the same functions and the latest specifications in
all supported Third Generation imageRUNNER ADVANCE devices.
UFP updates are performed on a regular basis, and include new specifications and
enhancements. Critical bug fix firmware updates are released as needed.
The UFP offers the following features and benefits to the Third Generation
imageRUNNER ADVANCE devices.
•Consistent firmware updates across the Third Generation imageRUNNER
ADVANCE devices in your fleet.
•New features and error fixes are applied to all Third Generation imageRUNNER
ADVANCE devices in your fleet at one time.
The latest UFP version is 3.8. The newest V3.8 features are described on the next
page.
NOTE
The imageRUNNER ADVANCE C7500 III Series comes standard-equipped with
UFP V3.8.

imageRUNNER ADVANCE C7500 III Series Customer Expectations Document
Version 3 imageRUNNER ADVANCE C7500 III Series Customer Expectations Document Page 11
2.5 imageRUNNER ADVANCE Third Generation Platform Improvements
The imageRUNNER ADVANCE third generation platform has been designed for
advanced functionality, high-reliability, and ease of operation. The third generation
platform enables digital-business communications, such as imaging technology,
cloud connectivity, and mobile solutions to work together.
The imageRUNNER ADVANCE Series UFP V3.8 design improvements include:
•Home Screen – The Home screen consists of two sections; the integrated menu
(includes the function buttons (Copy, Scan and Send, and Access Stored Files)
and the Quick Buttons), and the Timeline section. The Timeline section has been
added, and displays the settings of the previous 10 jobs (copy, scan, scan and
send, store, and fax). Previous jobs can be recalled, and timeline entries can also
be added as Quick Buttons for each user.
•Verify System at Startup – Verify System at Startup is a process that protects the
device’s BIOS, firmware, and MEAP applications from unauthorized
modifications.
•SIEM (Security Information and Event Management Integration) – See “Security
Information and Event Management,” on page 20 for more information.
•OCR Accuracy – IRISPowerscan technology (a document capture solution) is
used to improve OCR (Optical Character Recognition) accuracy when scanning
to a PDF or Compact PDF file.
•Auto Certificate Update – Certificates can be automatically requested from the
certificate authority using Windows’ NDES (Network Device Enrollment Services)
and SCEP (Simple Certificate Enrollment Protocol). This eliminates the need to
manually update certificates on every device.
•Automatic Print for Forced Hold – After a user logs on to the machine, all jobs
that are held for that user starts printing immediately.
•Additional Visual Message Functionality – Visual messages (introduced with
imageRUNNER ADVANCE V3.6) can be displayed while the device is printing,
and can be accessed as a Home screen button.
•QR Code Direct Connect – Using the Canon PRINT Business or standard
camera app, an iOS 11 (or later) mobile device can establish a direct connection
with the device by scanning a QR code.
Refer to the imageRUNNER ADVANCE V3.8 System Service Manual for details on
all UFP V3.8 supported features.

imageRUNNER ADVANCE C7500 III Series Customer Expectations Document
Version 3 imageRUNNER ADVANCE C7500 III Series Customer Expectations Document Page 12
2.6 Data Backup Service
The Data Backup Service provides automatic data backup periodically to a cloud-
based server hosted at Canon Business Imaging Online. The end-user
administrator can execute the Data Backup Service. The Data Backup Service
backs up the imageRUNNER ADVANCE Third Generation device user mode
settings, Address Book, Registration Settings, Quick Menu Settings, Main Menu
Settings, Box Settings, Universal Data Settings, Personal Settings, and Service
Mode Settings. Customer data is not backed up to the Data Backup Service, with
the exception of the Address Book.
The service technician can restore the address book and settings listed above from
the cloud-based server to the existing or replaced Hard Disk Drive of the
imageRUNNER ADVANCE device.
Training is required to allow the servicing dealer to enroll in Data Backup Service
and for the service technician to receive support from the Technical Support
Center. Refer to the Training Center at Canon USA’s e-Support Center Website
Training Center for details.

The imageRUNNER ADVANCE C7500 III Series offers four built-in storage
methods with flexible linkage to external systems for storing scanned documents
and accessing stored files.
•Mail Box
•Advanced Box
•Network
•Memory Media
IMPORTANT
•Canon U.S.A., Inc. is NOT responsible for any damages caused to user data that
is stored on the hard disk drive of the machine. It is the customer’s responsibility
to create and maintain a data backup plan. Canon U.S.A., Inc. offers several
security options to enhance document handling and storage security needs. See
“System Options,” on p. 69.
•It is strongly recommended to back up the data stored on the hard disk drive.

stored files into one file, and erasing unnecessary pages from a file.

imageRUNNER ADVANCE C7500 III Series Customer Expectations Document
Version 3 imageRUNNER ADVANCE C7500 III Series Customer Expectations Document Page 15
2.8.2 Advanced Box
Advanced Box is a storage area in the machine that stores scanned documents
and Microsoft Office files that can be used on a computer. There are two types of
storage in the Advanced Box: the Shared Space and the Personal Space.
Shared Folders
•An open access storage space. Ideal as a shared storage space by multiple
users (for example, team, group, or department members).
•Subfolders can be created.
•Up to 1,000 files/folders (main and sub) can be saved in each level.
Personal Folders
•Access is restricted to the set user only. Authentication must be set up to
enable a personal folder.
•Subfolders can be created.
•Up to 1,000 files/folders (main and sub) can be saved in each level.

The Advanced Box can be opened to the public as an SMB (Server Message
Block) server or WebDAV (Distributed Authoring and Versioning) server. This
enables the user to access the Advanced Box from a computer, and store and
share files in their native format, such as MS Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. To
view and print these native format files from the Advanced Box, the user must
access them via a computer.
The standard storage space for the Advanced Box is approximately 16 GB.
However, the Advanced Box storage capacity can be increased to 480 GB if the
optional 2.5 inch/1 TB HDD-P1 is installed.

This section describes the standard ways of how users can authenticate to the
device. The default Device Authentication mode is UA (Universal Authentication).
•UA (Universal Authentication) - A user authentication system that enables
the functions of the machine and MEAP applications, to be used after being
authenticated once. UA has two compatible user authentication systems
(Domain Authentication and Local Device Authentication). Domain
Authentication is linked to a domain controller in a Windows Active Directory
environment on a network. Local Device Authentication uses a database inside
the machine to authenticate users. Administrators can use one of these two
systems or both at the same time. The Access Management System is a
subset of the UA system.
•ULM (Universal Login Manager) - ULM is a MEAP application, developed by
NT-ware, which provides log in management capabilities, such as simple user
authentication, Local Authentication, and Domain Authentication for Canon
imageRUNNER ADVANCE devices. These user authentication methods use
Picture Log In, PIN Codes, or Proximity Card Log In methods to gain access to
the machine. Although, ULM is a server-less authentication solution, it can also
integrate with the Access Management System for advanced security.
Furthermore, ULM can be upgraded to the full uniFLOW platform, which
provides mobile printing, secure printing, advanced security, and scanning
workflow capabilities, along with a fully-automated statistics and reporting suite.
NOTE
ULM is available as a download, and the customer must have access to the
Internet. For more information, contact your local authorized Canon dealer.

•Department ID Management - Register a Department ID and password for
each department, and manage the machine by limiting its use to only those
who enter the correct Department ID and password. Department IDs and
passwords for up to 1,000 departments can be registered. Use Department ID
Management to keep track of the copy, scan, and print totals for each
department. The following settings can be specified:
- Turn Department ID Management ‘On’ or ‘Off’.
- Register the Department ID and password.
- Set page limits for scans, prints, and copies.
- Set whether to use Department ID Management for the Mail Box, Send, and
Network Scan functions. If the Copy function is specified, it is automatically
restricted when Department ID Management is set.
- Set up copy, scan, and print restrictions.
- Create users automatically (feature in UFP V3.6 or later).
•Access Management System - The standard AMS (Access Management
System) enables system administrators to restrict various Copy, Print, Scan,
Mail Box, and Send functions that each user can use. Once the AMS is
activated, a Function Level Log-In can be used to authenticate users for
specific machine functions only. SSO-H must be activated to use the Log-In
feature of the AMS.
•uniFLOW Online Express - comes with the following features:
- Flexible authentication (for example, PIN Code or Card)
- Simple document scanning (for example, Scan to My E-Mail and Google
Drive)
