The imageRUNNER 3570’s efficiency in the job stream test is competitive.
Overall print efficiency when producing multiple sets is competitive for
tested models in this speed range in both duplex and simplex modes.
While first-copy time from the platen is slower than the average at 6.8
seconds, first-copy time from the document feeder is competitive at 8.9
seconds.
In copy mode, overall efficiency is competitive in all three primary copy
modes (1:1, 1:2 and 2:2).
The imageRUNNER 3570 features the same highly intuitive 6-1/4" x 4-5/8"
color LCD touch-screen control panel as other imageRUNNER devices, which
is a favorite of BLI test technicians.
The default main screen lists selections for Copy, Send and Mailbox keys.
Users can specify one of the other menus or a screen for an optional MEAP
application to be the default screen for walk-up users.
Though not all of the features required for typical copy jobs can be pro
-
grammed from the main screen, they are selectable from the main screen
and, when selected, bring the user to another screen where the settings can
be programmed.
The imageRUNNER 3570 offers outstanding guidance to users via context-
sensitive instructions, which are automatically displayed to walk-up users
step by step through the process of programming functions.
Enhancing ease of use from the control panel are a contrast adjustment
dial for the display, a Help key that provides information on a range of
topics, the ability to review the settings for a job, and a very detailed job
queue with information on the current job (including the number of sets
programmed and the number of sets produced) and pending copy and print
jobs. Users can view separate queues for copy, fax, send (scan) and receive
jobs. The print queue lists both print and copy jobs. While copy jobs can
be deleted with the Stop hard key, print jobs can be deleted by highlighting
the job, selecting Cancel and then confirming the desire to delete the job
by responding to a prompt. Jobs can be moved up to the next position in the
queue using the Print Next key.
