Maximum monthly duty cycle:
130,000 impressions.
BLI’s recommended monthly duty cycle for peak usage:
75,000 impressions
Based on an engine that proved to be highly reliable in BLI’s rigorous two-month
lab test, the Canon imageRUNNER 3570, configured with the Multi-PDL Print
Kit-E1, is an outstanding performer that also offers very good output quality
and excellent ease of use. It also gives users the ability to choose between two
excellent scan solutions—Canon’s Universal Send and eCopy’s ShareScan OP. The
unit features Canon’s MEAP architecture, which enables it to run embedded
applications that add functionality (including eCopy ShareScan OP for MEAP),
customize the control panel to streamline workflow and integrate with a range
of document management applications. This unit, which offers the lowest
supplies cost per page of tested competitive models, is highly recommended
for monthly volumes of up to 75,000 impressions.
* Reliability, image quality and toner yield results are based on the performance of the Canon
imageRUNNER 4570, which uses the same engine.
