The Canon imageRUNNER 3570 is based on a highly reliable engine that
completed its 170,000-impression durability test with just one service call,
which was simply for preventive maintenance, and four misfeeds, for a mis-
feed rate of one per 42,500 impressions.
—
The life of the unit’s drum, at 85,000 impressions, is lower than average,
potentially resulting in the need for more frequent service intervention than
competitive models.
The unit offers good multitasking capabilities overall, with no hesitation or
delays between jobs or while programming jobs.
—
Up to four copy jobs can be programmed ahead and initiated while another
copy job is in progress (five while a print job is in progress). A sixth job can
be programmed ahead, but will not be scanned into memory until a reserve
job slot becomes available. Some models in this speed range enable users to
program a greater number of copy jobs while another is in progress.
The number of print jobs that can reside at the device is limited only by
resources.
Up to five copy jobs can always reside at the device, regardless of the
number of print jobs that are in queue.
—
To reserve a copy job while copy jobs are running or reserved, the user
must select “Done” from the dialog box that pops up on the screen showing
selected features after a job is programmed. This closes the dialog box and
allows the user to program another job. With some systems, the user can
reserve a copy job without having to press a key.
A priority level of 1, 2 or 3, with 1 being the highest priority, can be assigned
to various functions. If the priority level for the copy function is set to 1,
and print is set to 2 or 3, all remaining print jobs (except the current one,
which runs to completion) are moved down in the queue to give priority to
any waiting copy jobs. If functions are assigned equal priority, jobs are pro-
cessed in the order in which they are received.
