New Family of MFPs Designed to Provide
Flexibility to Help with Evolving Business Workflows
Today’s businesses require fully integrated and holistic
business solutions that are both flexible to the needs of their
employees, as well as the trends embraced by today’s workforce.
Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leader in digital imaging, today unveiled the
future of Canon business solution technology with the introduction
of the first Multifunction Systems (MFPs) to be built on the third
generation imageRUNNER ADVANCE platform, the imageRUNNER ADVANCE
8500/6500 Series. Building upon the line’s proven, award-winning
Canon technology, these new models further enhance the user
experience and help to streamline business workflows. Featuring a
modern, new two-color scheme, the design for these models was
chosen to align with trends of brighter office spaces with high
contrast colors and models outside of the imageRUNNER ADVANCE
portfolio.
“As businesses evolve, they require technology that can adapt to
their changing workflow needs. The introduction of this new
platform is designed to provide customers with the flexibility and
scalability to grow with their business,” said Junichi Yoshitake,
senior vice president and general manager, Business Imaging
Solutions Group, Canon U.S.A., Inc. “With a strong feature set and
solutions platform, plus platform consistency and coherence, these
new models are designed to meet the demands of today’s
businesses.”
“With the launch of the third generation imageRUNNER ADVANCE
Series, Canon has implemented a wide range of improvements, and
demonstrates that it continues to focus on designing products that
address key customer challenges and workflow,” said Keith Kmetz of
IDC. “These new models provide Canon with the opportunity to
position itself as a leader in offering fully integrated and
holistic business solutions.”
Workflow Efficiency
The third generation imageRUNNER ADVANCE models have been
designed to help save time and resources while increasing
productivity with efficient workflows and intuitive ease of use. A
newly designed flat operation, touch screen panel includes a larger
display and new functions to improve usability. When authentication
is activated, users can access My ADVANCE features to create a
personalized experience tailored to their preferences for the
display, settings and many frequently used functions.
Cost Management
Building upon the success of Canon’s award-winning technology,
these new models offer tools that help users recognize areas for
better management of print and document overhead. With advanced
user authentication standard in all third generation imageRUNNER
ADVANCE models, organizations can manage print and document costs
by controlling employees’ access and usage. Through the use of this
standard feature, these new models can also integrate virtually
seamlessly with optional uniFLOW software, Canon’s comprehensive
and scalable solution software platform for device, output
management and smart scanning solutions.
Security
These models feature a set of standard and optional security
capabilities to help limit access to sensitive information.
Building upon Canon’s prior security features and solutions, the
third generation imageRUNNER ADVANCE models now include a standard
Hard Disk Drive (HDD) Encryption function with FIPS140-2
validation, automatically encrypting data stored on the main unit’s
HDD, thereby helping to restrict access to data which can limit
data leaks from occurring.
Device & Fleet Management
The new imageRUNNER ADVANCE systems can be supported by a
customer’s Canon’s imageWARE Enterprise Management Console1, its
plug-ins and Canon’s Managed Document Services. With these
additional solutions, customers can benefit from centralized
control for day-to-day management, as well as tools to easily
deploy and manage device settings, user management and security
features across the fleet of multifunction systems.
Quality and Reliability
The third generation of imageRUNNER ADVANCE models is designed
for durability, reliability, and ease of service to provide
customers with the uptime and quality that they’ve come to expect
from Canon MFPs.
Sustainability
With features to help reduce waste, technology designed to
provide low energy consumption, which can help limit emissions, and
the use of bio-based plastics2 in select parts, the third
generation imageRUNNER ADVANCE Series is designed to help support
customers’ sustainability goals. The new imageRUNNER ADVANCE
8500/6500 Series models are Energy Star® certified and rated EPEAT®
Gold.3
