CANON RELEASES NEW imageCLASS and imageRUNNER DESKTOP LASER PRINTERS TO BOOST FLEET PRODUCTIVITY
Easily Integrate and Optimize Print Workflows in Office, School, Healthcare Environments
BRAMPTON, ON., OCTOBER 8, 2019 – On a quest to increase office efficiency, Canon Canada, a leader in digital imaging solutions, announces the availability of new imageCLASS and imageRUNNER multifunction printers (MFPs) and single function printers (SFPs). These new models, when implemented into compatible fleet environments, can provide customers with the ability to better optimize their print-related activity in scenarios where device footprint, user experience, security features and total cost of ownership are primary considerations.
The new black-and-white models, including the imageRUNNER 1643iF (MFP), imageRUNNER 1643i (MFP), imageCLASS MF449dw (MFP), imageCLASS LBP325dn (SFP) and imageCLASS LBP228dw (SFP) will complement the existing Canon A3 and A4 portfolio. All support standard letter- and legal-sized printing (A4) with print speeds up to 40 and 45 pages-per-minute[i] and are great in industries like education and healthcare, where space is often limited but productivity needs are typically high.
Designed for compatible fleet environments, the new MFP models feature Single Pass Duplex Automatic Scanning for fast scan speeds of up to 70 images-per-minute[ii], a five-inch, customizable touchscreen control panel and Canon’s Application Library platform that allows users to customize the device to meet their specific workflow needs. In addition, the products include a number of strong security features—Verify System at Startup[iii], Encrypted PDF and Device Signature PDF—designed to help protect access to the device and help protect scanned documents.[iv]
In addition to the new black-and-white models above, Canon also introduces the new colour imageCLASS LBP664Cdw single function printer, offering high-quality imaging, minimal maintenance, efficient print speeds of up to 28 ppm (letter size) in both colour and black-and-white, and a five-inch colour touchscreen made to deliver an intuitive user experience.
Canon software and application solutions continue to evolve to help users manage printer fleets, including smaller, desktop devices in addition to larger, floor-standing machines. Select models[v] will come equipped with Canon’s print management solution, uniFLOW Online Express, as a standard feature allowing organizations to control their costs and device access through authentication. IT and office administrators can take advantage of dashboard reporting, which will allow easy management of the entire organization’s fleet in one convenient interface.
Additionally, users have the option to upgrade to uniFLOW Online (cloud-based) for richer feature support, including print management and third-party cloud integration for printing and scanning.[vi] The new models also feature fleet-wide serviceability solutions support, including the ability to interface with imageWARE Remote to allow for the delivery of vital device information for service operations, which can potentially increase device uptime.
