[edit] Manufacturer Provided Specifications and Description
- Overview
Many organizations utilize powerful system management software to control their core IT resources residing on their network. Through the use of these tools, IT managers are able to install, configure, manage and monitor the overall health their network from a single, centralized system. IT managers appreciate the ease of our imageRUNNER device's integration into their networks and they have come to expect the same level of control that they maintain with other devices within their network. Although Canon already offers centralized control of our imageRUNNER devices through the use of our NetSpot Console utility, we recognize that IT managers expect to utilize their existing device or enterprise management software for the management of our devices as well.
It is for this reason that Canon offers Plug-ins to the following leading Enterprise Device Management Systems available in the marketplace today:
- HP Web Jetadmin®
- HP Output Server (formerly Dazel)
