Introducing Universal Login Manager

Every Canon imageRUNNER ADVANCE Third Generation multifunctional device and MEAP enabled single function printer is designed with extended security features built in. From an access control perspective, Universal Login Manager (ULM) can help you to maintain a secure workplace.

ULM is a serverless embedded solution that acts as a sentry to prevent unauthorized access to your MFPs and printers. Designed for small and medium sized businesses, it provides a simple way for users to identify themselves and open up a personalized experience at the device. It also enables IT departments to track printing and copying usage.
