Canon Brings Advanced Imaging Solution for SMEs

SME WORLD Bureau
Jan 2011

Canon India Pvt. Limited is all set to meet the growing needs of a vast array of small and medium enterprises introduces the C2000 series of imaging solutions including imageRunner Advance C2020 and C2020H.

Canon claims this series is going to be the best value for money of the SMEs. The C2000 series will assist SMB organizations to enjoy full functionality, will help them scale their business in the future and will support them collaborate their imaging needs.

Advanced Printing Functionality

The intelligent communications and advanced printing functionality of these new models, coupled with its compact design and uncompromising performance, will help improve digital workflow and enhance productivity for organizations. The series cements Canon's commitment in bringing advanced functionalities to its customers, even in the low volume segment, making the advanced technology simple for everyone to use in the office scenario.

Announcing the launch of C2000 series of iR Advance Puneet Datta, Assistant Director (Marketing) – BIS division, Canon India said, “With the colour market growing exponentially the new series will give an extra edge to small and medium enterprises at an affordable cost. The new imageRunner Advance range is a true multi-role device that recognizes the importance of coloured documents in business and at the same time helps control costs associated with them. The new series delivers the benefits of digital copy, network print, color scanning, and optional fax features, along with flexible paper handling and finishing options that help save time, space, and most of all, document production costs.”

The Canon imageRunner Advance C2000 series offers print resolution of 1200 x 1200 dots per inch (dpi) and consistently delivers high image quality for text and images at speeds of up to 30 pages-per-minute (ppm). These models are capable of quickly scanning and sending both black and white and color documents at 44 images-per-minute (ipm) in TIFF, JPEG and PDF formats to e-mail addresses or file folders (SMB/FTP) on a network.

The series can also be connected directly to a user's workstation using the standard USB 2.0 High Speed port, or leveraged as a shared network resource. A standard 80 GB hard disk is available to provide storage and spooling facilities for network printing, improving printing efficiency. There is also an option to add the hard disk to Canon imageRunner Advance C2020. In addition, secure printing options are available to provide a higher level of document security.

Innovative Collaboration Possibilities

Through this series, users can store scans to and print files from the advanced boxes of other iR-ADV series. This is especially useful in facilitating document sharing and communication across mix fleet environments made up of several series of imageRunner Advance.

The imageRunner Advance series supports optional Super G3 fax functionality for high-speed fax transactions. The 2-line fax feature is capable of handling large volumes of fax documents, while ensuring lesser busy signals and greater connectivity. With the optional Remote Fax Kit, users can send fax through other fax-capable imageRunner Advance devices in the network, even if it does not have a fax-board installed. This is a great tool for businesses to achieve significant cost and time savings through the innovative leverage and use of infrastructure without any duplication.

To Fit to Your Space

The imageRunner Advance series features a new color and elegant design with rounded edges to blend more seamlessly into modern business environments. Innovative and space-saving finishing options include a built-in finisher offering full sorting and stapling functions. The AutomaticDocument Feeder (ADF) handles all copy and scan needs smoothly.

Canon is committed to the environment and green technologies through every phase of the product lifecycle. The new series is expected to reduce CO2 emissions by more than 30 percent by focusing on each stage of manufacturing, energy use and logistics. These devices, which are designed to be the smallest and lightest in their class, with less packaging to make transportation more efficient, are the first Canon offerings to make use of 100 percent recycled plastics and bio-plastic materials in certain parts within the new machines.
