imageRUNNER ADVANCE Desktop

imageRUNNER ADVANCE Desktop is

a powerful software program designed

to effectively process office documents

by providing services for users such

as importing, viewing, editing, man-

aging, searching, printing, and faxing

documents.

This user-friendly application reduces waste in office opera-

tions by facilitating smoother processes with your Canon

imageRUNNER and imageRUNNER ADVANCE systems.

imageRUNNER ADVANCE Desktop consists of:

•Desktop Browser

•Three Editors: Document Binder, Object Layout Editor

(a sub-module of Document Binder), and Annotation Editor

The functions provided by imageRUNNER ADVANCE Desktop

are designed to exploit the powerful capabilities of hardware

devices and software programs, thereby helping you process

documents with greater productivity.

imageRUNNER ADVANCE Desktop BrowserimageRUNNER ADVANCE Desktop Browser is a main interface

for imageRUNNER ADVANCE Desktop, which provides three

main functions:

•Document Management

•Device Collaboration (with devices and external applications)

•Dashboard

Document Management Function. The Document Management

function utilizes libraries to manage documents, whether they’re

on your desktop computer or in a network folder, Document

Server library, or an Advanced Box on an imageRUNNER

ADVANCE system. It also proactively monitors your registered

Desktop Browser Object Layout EditorDocument Binder

Object Layout Editor

Object Layout Editor is a component of Document Binder to

edit binder documents. There are two types of edit methods.

The first is Block Mode, which allows you to edit documents in

units of blocks, condense margins to minimize empty space,

and adjust the layout to reduce the number of pages when

printing and faxing. And the second, Object Edit Mode, allows

you to edit in units of objects and perform fine adjustments of

the content.

Annotation EditorText and shapes that are added to original pages are called

annotations. Annotation Editor enables you to add text and

shapes to a PDF or binder file format. Operations include

adding annotations and user-defined digital stamps—with or

withoutsignature—androtatingpages(left90°/180°/right

90°). Documents can be printed and faxed, with or without

annotations, as needed.

Document Binder

Using Document Binder, you can combine PDF files, images,

Microsoft Office documents, and existing binder (iwb) files to

compose a new document that you can then quickly print or

send via fax. You can send the document in its entirety or as

subset of pages directly from the Desktop application. You can

also edit a document in units of blocks or objects by using

Object Layout Editor. Documents can be saved in PDF format

to any library, a network folder, or the local desktop.

In addition to creating and editing documents, you can use a

variety of print functions with detailed settings that meet the

needs of each job. You can easily create new documents from

existing ones or send portions of the new version to others.

And the Document Binder makes it easy to manage all your

document workflows, from creating new files to printing and

faxing them. Using an intuitive WYSIWYG preview, it allows you

to easily customize your layout. For example, you can:

•re-organizepageorder

•dividepagessuchasspreadsintoindividualpages

•insertcoversheets,blankpages,anduser-definedtabs

•defineheadersandfooters

•addatableofcontents

•specifyoutputsettings,suchasdouble-sided,N-up,

Workflow Composer and MEAP

Connectors increase the efficiency of

routine operations. By creating and

that are frequently used on each

systemas“aflow,”youcanautomate

these functions with the simple press

of a button.

Simplified operation. Outstanding efficiency. Easy connections. Compose a better way to work.

Workflow Composer and MEAP Connectors

For example, a user can register a series of operations, such

as scanning a letter-sized original, sending it by fax, and then

storing a backup copy of a scanned PDF file in a network folder

location or an Advanced Box. Administrators can pre-define

folders to make saving easier for users with a drop-down box,

or leave it up to the users to designate a specific destination.

The naming of files can be freeform or automated using either a

scheme specified at the system-level, the user-level, or accord-

ing to a designed pattern.

Workflow Composer has a MEAP application (installed on an

imageRUNNER ADVANCE model) and a PC application (Work-

flow Composer Editor). It also has Standard Connectors

(bundled with imageRUNNER ADVANCE Essentials), and

Optional Connectors that can be purchased separately.

Workflow Composer EditorWorkflow Composer Editor is an application for creating flows on

a Windows® based computer. To create a flow, first select an

imageRUNNER ADVANCE model as the target. If a model is selected,

the Workflow Composer Editor connects to it, enabling you to

create flows utilizing the available functions. Once uploaded and

registered in the selected target, the flow can be executed on the

imageRUNNER ADVANCE system.

Flows stored in a target can also be retrieved, edited with the Work-

flow Composer Editor, and then uploaded to the target again or to

other imageRUNNER ADVANCE systems.

Standard ConnectorsMEAP Connector for SMB. Scan to send documents by SMB Protocol, with or without Index Data.

MEAP Connector for FTP. Scan to send documents by FTP Protocol, with or without Index Data.

MEAP Index Lookup Option. Looks up the Index Data Table on an external server in conjunction with other MEAP Connectors.
