Universal Send TM
Information Sharing Without Limits
In addition to its basic local and
network scanning capabilities, the
imageRUNNER 8500 can be upgraded
to add Canon’s new Universal Send
feature. Using Universal Send, hard-
copy documents can be scanned at
the device and “pushed” to MULTIPLE
destinations using MULTIPLE formats
in ONE simple operation.
Send as an E-mail – Send scanned
documents as E-mail attachments in TIFF,
multipage 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 centralized directory for archival
purposes or sharing within workgroups
(FTP, Windows ® , NetWare ® ).
Send to a Mail Box – Organize and
archive digital information in 100 Mail
Boxes. Store files for sharing, merging,
printing, or sending at a later time.
Send to a Database – Use for automatic
data collection and to eliminate redundant
data entry and errors.
The advanced functions of Universal
Send allow users to communicate,
manage, and share information as never
before, and require no special server
or additional software. What’s more,
Universal Send works simultaneously
with the imageRUNNER 8500’s Print and
Copy functions for enhanced multitasking.
panel. Using Canon’s Page Composer,
imageRUNNER 8500 users can also view
page layout of a document from within
the driver prior to printing to insure that
their output will print as expected.
Multiple installation methods for the
imageRUNNER 8500 print driver are
available for the network administrator.
Canon’s printer driver software is the
only one on the market capable of
discovering devices on the network,
allowing administrators to select
imageRUNNER 8500 devices and auto-
matically configure their equipped
options with just a click of the mouse.
Manage Information
Regardless of Form
As the widespread use of electronic-
based information continues to grow,
office devices need to be able to easily
integrate both hard-copy and electronic
documents. Through its scanning capa-
bilities, the imageRUNNER 8500 is up
to the task. Users can scan documents
locally to the imageRUNNER 8500
internal Mail Boxes, or over the network
(network print option required) using
Canon’s virtual TWAIN driver. In addition,
customers can leverage any TWAIN-
compliant software application to drive the
imageRUNNER 8500 for specific network
scanning and workflow requirements.
Canon’s Page Composer is a make-ready
tool allowing users to review and manipulate
documents before printing.
