Continuing to
build upon their full-service imageRUNNER ADVANCE platform which was unveiled
last year, Canon U.S.A. announced last week the monochrome imageRUNNER ADVANCE
8000 Series and 6000 Series of multifunction systems. Offering a seamless blend
of hardware, software and services initially seen in their award-winning
imageRUNNER color models, the new black-and-white models deliver improved image
quality with exceptional output speeds for a more enhanced workplace efficiency
needed in today's competitive business environment.
"The new
Canon imageRUNNER ADVANCE Series are advanced document management systems that
increase workplace efficiency for organizations seeking to contain costs and
increase profitability," said Sam Yoshida, vice president and general
manager, Imaging Systems Group, Canon U.S.A. "Featuring innovative
hardware and carefully engineered software applications that target light
production and high-volume office environments, the imageRUNNER ADVANCE lineup
allows businesses to increase office productivity while managing costs across a
broad range of document-related activities."
imageRUNNER ADVANCE 8000 Series
The imageRUNNER
ADVANCE 8105/8095/8085 models deliver exceptional output quality, speed,
flexible paper handling options, and robust finishing solutions that many
businesses desire. By utilizing the capabilities of the Advanced imageCHIP
system architecture the imageRUNNER ADVANCE 8000 Series models offer
functionality and flexibility necessary to meet the constantly evolving demands
of production environments of central reproduction departments and in-house
facilities. Print service providers requiring monochrome letter-sized output
speeds of up to 105 pages per minute (ppm)/ 95 ppm/ 85ppm will want to look at
the 8105/8095/8085 models respectively.
Also notable
about these new models are their exceptionally fast scan speeds in both
black-and-white and color. The printers are equipped with a standard,
single-pass duplex scanning unit which enables these devices to capture both
sides of a two-sided original in a single pass. The series are capable of
delivering scan speeds of up to 200 images-per-minute (ipm) black-and-white and
100 ipm in color at 300 dots-per-inch (dpi) in letter format.
The imageRUNNER
ADVANCE 8105/8095/8085 models feature a maximum paper capacity of up to 7,700
sheets and are equipped to carry up to 80 pound cover media and paper sizes up
to 13 x 19.25-inches. Coupled this with its flexible media capabilities and its
easy to see why the imageRUNNER ADVANCE 8000 Series delivers improved
productivity by performing functions previously reserved for dedicated
production equipment. High-volume capabilities including multiple folding
options, professional punching, post-process document insertion and
face-trimming booklets can now be retained in-house without the need for a
separate machinery which provides more cost efficiencies.
In addition to
its production capabilities the series offers a revolutionary 120-volt power
requirement and a space-saving footprint to offer greater device placement
flexibility. All these features make the imageRUNNER ADVANCE 8000 Series an
ideal choice for high-volume offices seeking greater speed and productivity.
imageRUNNER ADVANCE 6000 Series
With output
speeds of up to 75ppm, 65ppm, and 55ppm (Letter), respectively, the imageRUNNER
ADVANCE 6075/6065/6055 models allow for high-volume corporate environments to harness
the capabilities of an advanced Multifunction Printer solution to address their
particular workflow requirements. The compact imageRUNNER ADVANCE
6075/6065/6055 models deliver enhanced performance including rapid print, copy,
and color scan capabilities as well as the ability to manage documents and
produce finished outputs. As with the imageRUNNER ADVANCE 8000 Series, the
imageRUNNER ADVANCE 6000 Series models include a powerful high-speed single
pass duplex scanning unit which boosts productivity and reduces costs.
The imageRUNNER
ADVANCE 6075/6065/6055 models also feature a maximum paper capacity of up to
7,700 sheets and can support up to 80 lb. Cover media, while handling paper
sizes up to 11 x 17-inches. Medium-volume office environments utilizing the
imageRUNNER ADVANCE 6000 Series can enjoy flexible in-line finishing
capabilities such as multi-position stapling, booklet-making, post-process
document insertion and C/Z- folding capabilities.
Newly Advanced Technology
The new
imageRUNNER ADVANCE 8000 and 6000 Series monochrome models employ a host of new
technologies designed to improve the user experience while also streamlining
workplace efficiency. In addition to the space-saving design, the new models
incorporate a Full Color SVGA Control Panel which utilizes a customizable user
interface with Main Menu keys for easy access to popular functions as well as a
Quick Menu key to help simplify your workflow and share frequently used job
functions via one-touch buttons. Also included with all models is remote
notification of low-supply inventory and an "on-the-fly" paper or
toner replacement which ensures that your high-volume jobs can run without
interruption.
The new
imageRUNNER ADVANCE models also utilize "pO" toner in conjunction
with the twin-sleeve technology employed in Canon's black-and-white imagePRESS
line. This allows the models to reproduce detailed images and text with smooth
gradations and ensure the toner is evenly distributed throughout the entire
print run. When precise detail is needed the new models can provide a true
1,200 x 1,200 dpi resolution and Auto Gradation Adjustment for a smooth,
accurate and consistent output. Additionally, all new models support Canon's
MEAP technology, allowing for greater integration with customer's business
processes and other third-party software applications.
The new
imageRUNNER ADVANCE models are expected to be available for customer delivery
in the second quarter of 2010 through Canon Authorized Dealers and Canon
Business Solutions. The manufacturer's suggested retail prices will be:
imageRUNNER
