LAB TEST
Canon imagePROGRAF iPF710
Buyers LaBoratory LAB TEST REPORT—European Edition
 The Canon imagePROGRAF iPF710 is certied highly reliable by BLI, complet-
ing its two-month evaluation, which included a 7,500-square-foot durability
test, without experiencing a single jam and with no service calls required.
 The printer is very easy to install. A hard copy manual in English, Spanish and
French provides step-by-step assembly instructions. All the tools needed
(two wrenches and four bolts) are included. Two people are needed to lift
the printer onto its stand; otherwise one person can easily complete the
assembly, which takes approximately one hour.
 The control panel provides step-by-step instructions for loading the ve
ink tanks, which are easy. The iPF710 comes with starter ink tanks that
are installed after assembly and contain approximately 60 percent of the
normal 130-ml volume.
 The Canon iPF710 is equipped with a 10/100BaseT/TX Ethernet port. An IP
address can easily be assigned to the printer directly on the control panel.
 The print driver CD auto launches and users can choose from three selec-
tions—Install Printer Driver, Install Individual Software and Create the
Installer Files. In choosing Install Printer Driver, ten clicks are required to
install both the driver and the Status Monitor utility. An additional eight
clicks are needed to install the Media Conguration Tool and Digital Photo
Front-Access. The printer port is created automatically during driver instal-
lation. The second selection, Install Individual Software, offers users six
separate options if they wish to be selective with the software installation.
Create the Installer Files is a utility that allows the print driver to be down-
loaded to any other networked workstations rather than installing the driver
onto each one separately.
