Drastic reduction of power consumption
The PIXMA series has promoted energy savings.
The MP560 has cut daily power consumption to some 95 % of that by the MP760 (2004 model).
| * | Evaluation conditions Out of 24 hours, the printer is off for 16 hours and active for 8 hours, during which it prints 10 colour pages, and in standby for the rest. The annual power consumption = Daily power consumption x annual days of usage (240 days = 20 days/month x 12 months) |

Saving paper
Using PIXMA's "Auto Duplex Copying & Printing" or "4 in 1 & 2 in 1 Copying & Printing" saves paper, thus contributing to resource savings.
Saving paper with the Web Printing & Editing Software "Easy-WebPrint EX"*
With the "Easy-WebPrint EX" software, you can collect, combine, edit, and print the web content from multiple web pages in one page.
You can also easily reduce the size of contents to fit into fewer sheets, as well as layout the contents into two or three columns.
Furthermore, when you use Auto Duplex setting, you can save paper effectively, thus contributing to natural resource saving.
| * | Compatible with the Internet Explorer 7 only. |
With "Quick Start"*, the power is on only when used
"Quick Start" enables starting key operation a few seconds after pressing a power key. You no longer have to keep your printer on. Press a power key when needed, and it immediately gets ready for use, thus contributing to energy savings.
| * | "Quick Start" refers to the seconds required between pressing the power key and the key operations become ready. Excluding the case when pressing the power key for the first time after the power cord was plugged. |
Low-power-consumption design achieved by LED light source
In the PIXMA series, models featuring CCD scanner use white LED* as light source to eliminate 10 minute lighting a conventional fluorescent light requires after scanning. This enables immediate switch to the standby mode, thus delivering low power consumption. Furthermore, the warm-up time, which is necessary for a conventional fluorescent light, is no longer required, so that scanning can start immediately.
Models featuring colour contact image sensor (CIS) scanner use compact and low-power-consumption 3-colour (RGB) LED. Thanks to low power consumption during operation, the MP560 is capable of copying with about half as much electricity as the conventional CCD scanner built-in model**.
Low power consumption for start-up and stable light intensity attained right after power-on made it possible to start scanning immediately without warm-up time.
Both types comply with EU RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) directive, thus delivering eco-friendly designs.
| * | Excluding Film Scan |
| ** | When compared to the MP760 (2004 model). |
Saving paper with "Self-opening Paper Output Tray" or "Paper Output Tray Sensor"
In the PIXMA series, models featuring "Self-opening paper output tray" enable automatic opening of output tray when you copy or print, or "Paper Output Tray Sensor" enable to display error message when you start printing operation with the tray closed. These features prevent paper jam even though you start printing with the tray closed.
Saving label paper with "DVD/CD label printing"
In the PIXMA series, models featuring DVD/CD label printing can directly print labels on printable DVDs and CDs, thus saving resources.
Drastic reduction of power consumption
The CanoScan series has promoted energy savings.
The 8800F has cut power consumption to some 42 % of that by the 8600F (2006 model).
| * | Evaluation conditions Out of 24 hours, the scanner is off for 16 hours and active for 8 hours, during which it scans 10 colour pages, and in standby for the rest. The annual power consumption = Daily power consumption x annual days of usage (240 days = 20days/month x 12 months) |

Low-power-consumption design achieved by high luminance white LED
The CanoScan 8800F and 5600F, by using white LED* as light source, eliminate 10 minute lighting a conventional fluorescent light requires after scanning. This enables immediate switch to the standby mode, thus delivering low power consumption. Furthermore, the warm-up time, which is necessary for a conventional fluorescent light, is no longer required, so that scanning can start immediately.
All models comply with EU RoHS** directive, thus delivering eco-friendly designs.
| * | In the CanoScan 5600F, only for reflectives |
| ** | Restriction of the use of certain Hazardous Substances in electrical and electronic equipment |
Low-power consumption design thanks to Canon's own LIDE (LED Indirect Exposure) technology
In the LiDE series, Canon's own LIDE technology allows the use of compact and low-power-consumption 3-colour (RGB) LED as light source. In addition, A reader, colour contact image sensor (CIS) and optical lens have been combined in a single unit. These efforts have achieved significant reduction in size and weight. The series also features One-plug Scanning which does not require connecting an AC adapter. With low power consumption during operation, it is capable of scanning with approx. 14% of the electricity used by the conventional CCD scanner model*.
Since 3-colour (RGB) LED as light source provides stable light intensity right after power-on, scanning can start immediately without warm-up time.
The LiDE series complies with EU RoHS** directive, thus delivering eco-friendly designs.
| * | When compared to the CanoScan 4200F (2004 model). |
| ** | Restriction of the use of certain Hazardous Substances in electrical and electronic equipment |
Power conservation with One-plug Scanning which eliminates the use of an AC adapter
The LiDE series features USB powered and power-saving design. Scanning can stars immediately after connecting the included USB cable to a computer.
This enables low power consumption with approx. 2.5W maximum power consumption during operation.
