Canon have recently launched a new breed of photocopiers or MFDs ( Multi Functional Devices). This next generation of imagerunners offer greater flexibility of print, copy and scanning. With a totally new engine and intuitive user interface the Canon imageRUNNER Advance C5000 series offers outstanding colour printing and efficient workflows for your office.
The C5000 series machines start at 30 prints per minute upto 51 pages per minute and offer complete finishing options such as booklet making and stapleing.
The devices are being marketed with "i" and non "i" models which indicates the printer languages that the machines support.
The non "i" models use canon's UFRII printer language and a URFII printer driver is provided with the machine. This technology uses the power of the clients PC to process and render the document prior to sending the data to the iR Advance device for printing.
If there is a requirement to print in colour with PCL or true Adobe PostScript choose an "i" version such as the C5030i , C5035i, C5045i or C5051i. The PostScript processing is now fully compatible true postscript, unlike emulated postscript as on previous models.
All imageRUNNER Advance machines have send functionality as standard, being able to scan & send documents from the machine to destinations such as email, shared folders on a network or an FTP site.
The display has been redesigned and is now clearer and more intuitive than previous models.
Separate touch screen buttons provide access to sub menus such as Copy, Scan & Send, Fax etc.
These buttons are fully customizable and provide the user with an individual screen depending on who has logged on to the device.
The background images can also be changed for user preference and clarity.
Several environmental considerations have been designed into the new range. The devices are now energy star compliant, using very little power in standby and less power when printing that in previous models. The use of bio-plastics in some components further enhances the green credentials of the machines.
The C5000 series heralds a new era for canon with more new engines to follow soon.
