No problems were experienced with any of the applications used in the
applications compatibility tests. Units are tested for compatibility on Win-
dows 2000 platforms with Microsoft Word 2000, Microsoft PowerPoint 2000,
Microsoft Excel 2000, Adobe PageMaker 7.0, Adobe Photoshop 6.0 and Adobe
Acrobat 6.0 using 25 application test files, which contain text, graphics,
halftone images, tables, etc., enabling BLI technicians to evaluate memory
usage, file processing, font rendering and grayscale capability.
BLI tested the imageRUNNER 3570 with optional Universal Send, which offers
very easy-to-use and feature-rich scan functionality. It supports network
authentication (whereby users can be required to enter their network user
name and password to access the unit’s functions) and LDAP, which means
that users can search for e-mail addresses residing on network mail serv-
ers (up to five LDAP directories can be searched) from the control panel
of the imageRUNNER. LDAP searches are not possible from the Web utility.
Destinations can also be easily programmed remotely from the Web utility
or manually entered at the control panel’s QWERTY keypad, in spite of the
unit’s relatively small keys.
Universal Send supports scanning to e-mail, Internet fax destinations, FTP
sites and the desktops of users running eCopy Desktop (optional software
that allows users to work with and OCR scanned documents). Further, users
can send a document to multiple types of destinations in one session.
Unlike other scan solutions BLI has tested, Universal Send displays a preview
of the scanned image that users can check before sending the file.
Another noteworthy feature of Universal Send is embedded URL Send, which
automatically sends a link to a recipient, rather than an entire document
(the link is created automatically when a user selects the function); the
recipient can use the link to access the document stored on the hard drive
of the imageRUNNER. By eliminating the need to have very large documents
transmitted across the network, this feature reduces network traffic.
An optional PDF Enhancement Kit for Universal Send provides two notewor

thy capabilities. It enables saving of scanned documents so that they are
OCR-searchable PDF files and allows users to set a password to be able to
open, print or edit sent documents.
