BRAMPTON, ON., MARCH 11, 2020 - According to the 2019 Office of the Future survey, cloud services will continue to be a top investment priority in 2020¹. With this in mind, Canon Canada Inc., a leader in digital imaging solutions, is excited to introduce the new imageRUNNER ADVANCE DX series and updates to uniFLOW Online 2020.1 to further support its customers’ digital transformation initiatives through advanced scan functionality and cloud-ready capabilities².

 

The imageRUNNER ADVANCE DX series with uniFLOW Online is designed to help prepare customers for the office of the future through its simple, flexible design, advanced scanning, strong security and enhanced cloud features.

 

Simple and Flexible Design
These models feature a modified user interface with soft number keys similar to a smartphone or tablet, and a new document feeder to provide them with a flat workspace designed to help them place and organize documents. Plus, the recent introduction of device-based licensing for uniFLOW ONE makes implementation and continued maintenance simple without the need to consider fluctuations in number of users.

 

Advanced Scanning
The imageRUNNER ADVANCE DX series includes a new document feeder that is equipped with a 200-sheet capacity across all A3 models, and a fast, 270 image-per-minute scan speed (BW/Colour, Letter, Duplex), which is up to 69% faster than previous models, depending on the segment. Support has also been added for various applications like cheques, business cards⁵ and receipts. Other key features include smart technology that allows for digital skew correction as a native device feature.

 

Strong Security
These models support key security features as seen in the previous edition of the imageRUNNER ADVANCE lineup like McAfee Embedded Control³, that helps protect against cyber threats by using whitelisting to prevent the execution of unrecognized malware or tampering of existing firmware or applications. In the company’s efforts to continue evolving its security support to correspond with market and customer needs, Canon also introduces support for TLS 1.3, the latest version of encryption protocol, and FTPS Support, an encrypted version of FTP for sending data utilizing TLS⁴.

 

Enhanced Cloud
The new lineup will support enhancements to cloud-based solutions to help enable flexibility and workflow efficiency. The optional uniFLOW Online solution now includes the Universal Output Queue which supports all devices to date with a single driver, regardless of manufacturer or model. With the addition of Print via Cloud, uniFLOW Online has more flexibility on where the job is stored to support various customer requirements, including environments with many devices, multiple locations and remote workers.

 

The development of cloud-ready solutions such as the imageRUNNER ADVANCE DX series when combined with uniFLOW Online 2020.1 reflect the way that Canon is providing its customers with technology that can help prepare them for the office of the future.

 

Availability
uniFLOW Online 2020.1 and the following imageRUNNER ADVANCE DX series are now available: imageRUNNER ADVANCE DX C3700, imageRUNNER ADVANCE DX 4700, imageRUNNER ADVANCE DX 6700, imageRUNNER ADVANCE DX C7700 and imageRUNNER ADVANCE DX 8700. Additional models from this lineup are currently scheduled to launch over the coming months.
