MELVILLE, N.Y., March 8, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leader in digital imaging
solutions, today announced the availability of several new
multifunction and single function printers designed to meet the
needs of businesses, large and small. Available in both color and
monochrome models, the new imageRUNNER ADVANCE and imageCLASS
devices provide customers with the signature dependability and
consistent user experience they have come to expect from Canon,
helping organizations to enhance productivity – while addressing a
diverse set of business applications and end user requirements.
Technology is meant to simplify business, and Canon's goal is to
offer both hardware and software solutions with a consistent design
that helps customers enable their workforce for maximum efficiency.
Along with similar interfaces for consistent user experience in
multi-device installations and integration with uniFLOW, Canon's
premier output management platform, for greater visibility,
control, and security of office printing across their fleet. The
imageRUNNER ADVANCE models also provide users with powerful
scanning and document processing capabilities through uniFLOW –
helping organizations to secure, automate and simplify
paper-intensive business processes.
"As a business optimizes its fleet, it seeks to maximize return
on investment. Yet, an organization is only as productive as its
workers, and an enterprise must focus on both fleet optimization
and individual productivity to reach its goal of improved
efficiency," said Barbara Richards,
senior consultant, InfoTrends. "Regardless of whether a fleet
employs a combination of color, monochrome, multifunction or
single-function technology, for business operations to continue
without a hitch, employees need a familiar experience as they move
from device to device."
"The needs of today's businesses can vary greatly across an
organization, which is why Canon provides customers with print
technology that offers not only a strong feature set and solutions
platform, but also consistency and coherence across our devices,"
said Toyotsugu Kuwamura, executive vice president and general
manager, Business Imaging Solutions Group, Canon U.S.A., Inc. "Designed for a straightforward
user experience, these new imageRUNNER ADVANCE and imageCLASS
models deliver efficient, adaptable and cost-effective print
capability designed to expand productivity."
New imageRUNNER ADVANCE Models
Completing the third
generation imageRUNNER ADVANCE portfolio, the new imageRUNNER
ADVANCE C3530i and imageRUNNER ADVANCE C3525i models provide
enhanced productivity with a small footprint. Equipped with
outstanding scanning capabilities, these new models can help
digitally transform paper intensive environments in markets such as
legal, financial, healthcare, and education. InfoTrends estimates
that workers spend approximately 25 percent of their time at the
MFP for the purpose of scanning.1 Providing duplex
scanning capabilities nine times faster than predecessor models,
the new imageRUNNER ADVANCE 3500 Series single-pass duplex scanning
can help reduce the time needed to scan a 50-page duplexed
document.
The new imageRUNNER ADVANCE C355iF/C255iF models are the first
A4 models to be introduced on the award-winning third generation
imageRUNNER ADVANCE platform. Designed with the same user
interface, dependability, device security, document security, and
standard workflow features offered by the third generation
imageRUNNER ADVANCE line, these new models provide consistency in
user and management experience across a fleet. This coherence gives
customers flexibility in choosing the right solution for their
situation even if they have limited space requirements, or have
environments without a need for A3 size prints.
With security and compliance being top priorities for
organizations across all industries, the ability to secure
multifunction printers becomes a critical aspect of an
organization's security plan. Leveraging the feature rich security
capabilities of the third generation imageRUNNER ADVANCE platform,
the new imageRUNNER ADVANCE models provide robust device and
document security functionality designed to help protect the
device, as well as the information that flows through it, from
unauthorized access. When coupled with uniFLOW, document security
is further enhanced through secure pull printing and secure
document scanning.
New imageCLASS Models
Today's businesses, from
hospitals to financial institutions to law offices, require a
combination of equipment that supports the needs of departments,
workgroups and individuals. The imageCLASS LBP312dn (45 ppm
black-and-white) printer, Color imageCLASS MF735Cdw (28 ppm
multifunction) printer and Color imageCLASS LBP654Cdw (28 ppm
color) printer offer faster speeds, increased toner cartridge
capacities and an improved user experience, when compared with
their predecessors. Additionally, the MF735Cdw and LBP654Cdw
leverage a new device platform called Application Library
which empowers users to create and access their own customized
workflows via an easily navigable remote interface and a new
five-inch color touch screen, respectively, to help improve
operational efficiency and control.
The new imageCLASS models expand the available assortment of
desktop-ready Canon printers that can be leveraged throughout an
organization as a complement to more centralized imageRUNNER
ADVANCE equipment. Common optional tools such as the uniFLOW
solution, imageWARE Remote and Canon Managed Document Services can
be employed to help manage the fleet, from optimizing print
workflows and security features, to managing supplies, service and
maintenance.
