Dubai,
UAE, 29 April, 2014: Canon Middle East, leader in imaging
solutions, is completing its successful imageRUNNER ADVANCE portfolio
with the launch of three compact A4 colour multifunctional devices
(MFDs). For the first time, the new imageRUNNER ADVANCE C250i, C350i
and C351iF models bring Canon’s award-winning document handling
efficiency and control to small workgroups in a compact A4 colour
device.
Hendrik
Verbrugghe, Marketing Director, Canon Middle East, comments: “The
success of our imageRUNNER ADVANCE range has been outstanding. We
have sold over 400,000 units across EMEA since it was launched in
2009, and feedback from our customers has been extremely positive.
With the addition of the new compact models, Canon can offer best-fit
document capture and output solutions for any office environment –
from small workgroups to busy departments – with a complete and
consistent range of mono, colour, A4 and A3 devices.”
Smarter
document handling efficiency
The
new A4 colour devices offer a user experience that is consistent
across the entire imageRUNNER ADVANCE range, which means customers
benefit from the same ease of use and advanced document handling
efficiency they already experience from their A3 colour devices.
Thanks
to the imageRUNNER ADVANCE MEAP and MEAP Web application platforms
and Canon’s award-winning range of software, the new devices
provide quick and powerful output management and capture workflows.
Support for mobile working, such as printing from mobile devices or
scanning to cloud services, future-proofs organisations’
investments and helps customers stay productive on the move when
working with digital and paper-based documents.
The
imageRUNNER ADVANCE C250i, C350i and C351iF produce impressive
high-quality colour prints at speeds of up to 35ppm and offer a paper
capacity of up to 2,300 sheets. The familiar and customisable
imageRUNNER ADVANCE user interface combined with an easy-to-use 7”
touch screen ensures hassle-free operation for the end-user.
Enhanced
cost control & security
The
new devices offer scalable security and cost control capabilities to
address the concerns of any organisation; from standard features such
as smart user authentication and function-level control to
sophisticated options such as Data Loss Prevention (DLP). Canon’s
unique Universal Login Manager (ULM) provides smaller organisations
with enterprise-level reporting and access control - all without the
need for a server. ULM provides full visibility of usage and costs by
user as well as the option to apply user-level restrictions for
enhanced security and cost control. More demanding environments can
access centralised and complete output management and control through
Canon’s uniFLOW platform which offers advanced functions such as
DLP and rule-based routing.
Efficient
management & Integration
The
consistent, hassle-free operation across the entire imageRUNNER
ADVANCE fleet simplifies device management, configuration and
operation. In combination with the ability to upgrade the MFDs and
diagnose faults remotely, organisations can reduce device down-time
and improve productivity. Remote service capabilities for toner
management and ordering remove back-office burdens from customers.
Built-in support for industry standards, such as genuine Adobe
PostScript, also ensures seamless integration with existing IT
environments.
Leading
environmental performance
As
with the award-winning A3 imageRUNNER ADVANCE range, the new devices
consume less than one watt of energy during sleep mode and are Energy
Star certified, which gives them some of the lowest TEC ratings in
the office device industry.
