imageWARE Publishing Manager Version 3.0

On a daily basis most employees within a department or

corporate workgroup receive e-mails with or without attach-

ments, hard-copy documents, and other correspondence

critical to business. Chances are these documents will need

to be prepared for printing. The task of collecting docu-

ments created in different applications, combining them,

and delivering them as professional-looking output can

be a daunting and time-consuming task for any employee.

Additionally, documents prepared for external client review

or to represent your company may require additional edits

prior to completion.

Today, most organizations have few, if any, tools capable of

assisting with efficient completion of such tasks. As a result,

document creation and output continue to be handled manu-

ally. The inefficiencies associated with current processes are

significant and may ultimately lead to decreased productivity.

As a leader in providing comprehensive solutions to the

general office, Canon has recognized this issue and developed

imageWARE Publishing Manager software.

imageWARE Publishing Manager is a user-friendly document

publishing software designed to easily combine various types

of office documents and create professional-looking output.

One of the most important advantages is that you don’t

need to change the way you work to enjoy the benefits of

imageWARE Publishing Manager. With its intuitive user inter-

face and Document Creation Wizard, you can work seamlessly

with native application files, creating astounding results.

Web pages, and graphics applications. You can edit text or
