MELVILLE, N.Y., March 11, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- 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 U.S.A., 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.
"In a time of digital transformation, it is imperative for
companies to continue innovating in order to help prepare their
customers for the future of work," said Keith Kmetz, program vice president of imaging,
printing and document solutions, IDC. "This flagship lineup is
positioned to support customers' digital transformation initiatives
via a set of enhanced capabilities to digitize, manage, optimize
and automate business processes."
The imageRUNNER ADVANCE DX series with uniFLOW Online is
designed to help prepare its 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/Color, Letter, Duplex), which is up to 69% faster
than previous models, depending on the segment. Support has also
been added for various applications like checks, 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.
"At Canon, we aim to support and enable our customers on their
digital transformation journey through a combination of our
award-winning MFP technology, high-quality solutions and a
long-established, strong dealer network," said Shinichi Yoshida, executive vice president and
general manager, Canon U.S.A.,
Inc. "The development of cloud-ready solutions such as the
imageRUNNER ADVANCE DX series when combined with uniFLOW Online
2020.1 reflect ways in which we provide our customers with
technology that can help prepare them for the office of the
future."
uniFLOW Online 2020.1 and the following imageRUNNER ADVANCE DX
models are now available: imageRUNNER ADVANCE DX C3730i, and
imageRUNNER ADVANCE DX 4751i/4725i. Additional models from this
lineup are currently scheduled to launch over the coming
months.
