A.

Overview

The imageRUNNER 8500 training will be initially provided through the
release of the imageRUNNER 8500 Certification Guide.
Guides are to provide imageRUNNER 600 certified Technicians a
reference for new technology that is used in the imageRUNNER 8500.
The Certification Guide will highlight the differences, through pictures and
reference materials, between the imageRUNNER 8500 and the
imageRUNNER 600. The Educational Services department's intention is
to keep the certified Technicians up to date with current imageRUNNER
technology. The Certification Guide was announced on Canon e-Support
Services on April 4th, 2001.
The second phase of training for the Technician who is not currently
imageRUNNER 600 certified will be to incorporate the imageRUNNER
8500 into the already existing imageRUNNER 600 class.
Technicians will learn, through a series of lectures and hands-on labs,
the workings of the imageRUNNER 8500. This updated courseware will
be available in the Regional Training Centers in August of 2001. Until
then any Technician can simply complete the imageRUNNER 600 class
and request an imageRUNNER 8500 Certification Guide to complete
imageRUNNER 8500 Certification.
