LAKE
SUCCESS, N.Y., January 14, 2013 – Designed for busy workgroups that demand
efficient workflow in a compact space, the new imageRUNNER ADVANCE C2200 series
of color multifunction office systems from Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leader in
digital imaging solutions, allows users to gather, organize and disseminate
information to help them meet the unique needs of their office environments.
The
imageRUNNER ADVANCE C2200 Series is built on the next-generation imageRUNNER
ADVANCE platform. Launched last year, this platform is designed to be the core
of digital business communications where imaging technology, cloud
connectivity, and mobile solutions converge. Each new model brings a
variety of enhancements to the design, workflow, control, performance and
environmentally conscious attributes.
The
imageRUNNER ADVANCE C2230 and imageRUNNER ADVANCE C2225 produce up to 30
pages-per-minute (ppm) and up to 25 ppm output, respectively, for both color
and monochrome letter-size prints, while featuring a scan rate of up to 51
images per minute. Both models have a maximum paper capacity of 2,270
sheets and can handle up to 12” x 18” paper. With the ability to access
and leverage the capabilities of other connected imageRUNNER ADVANCE devices,
these models can not only serve as a stand-alone multifunction device in a
small or remote office but also as an addition to an existing fleet of devices
in an enterprise setting.
“With the
ability to integrate hardware and software solutions, the imageRUNNER ADVANCE
C2200 series allows organizations to customize their devices to best fit the
way they work,” said Sam Yoshida, vice president and general manager,
Marketing, Business Imaging Solutions Group, Canon U.S.A. “These intelligently
designed, highly flexible systems can be easily updated or added as the needs
of the business change and integrated with other devices to strengthen and grow
fleet environments.”
Advanced
Design
With an
intuitive interface displayed on a seven inch, full-color, tiltable,
high-resolution TFT screen, the imageRUNNER ADVANCE C2200 Series helps users
accomplish tasks quickly and effectively. The main menu provides instant
access to commonly used functions, and on-screen quick menu buttons can be
customized to meet specific departmental or user needs. Fitting in a
space as small as 34” x 27”, its compact size is achieved with innovations such
as Canon’s space-saving vertical toner transfer technology and the availability
of an optional internal staple finisher that provides professional-quality
output without adding to the footprint.
Advanced
Workflow
Like all
imageRUNNER ADVANCE models, the C2200 series can serve as a digital
communications hub, integrating enterprise applications, connecting to certain
cloud applications, linking to other devices in a company’s fleet, and giving
users the ability to work efficiently from anywhere. With drag-and-drop functionality,
the imageRUNNER ADVANCE Desktop Quick Printing Tool allows users to print, fax
and convert files to PDF format without opening the native application. These
new models are also equipped to take advantage of several mobile and
cloud-based solutions – customizable for different needs and price points –
that enable users to securely print and scan from a variety of mobile devices
such as laptops, iPad® tablets and iPhone® or BlackBerry® smartphones.
To help
automate complex business processes, Canon offers MEAP-Web to allow
applications to be developed via web services with integration on the device
through the imageRUNNER ADVANCE Web Access software option. This allows
in-house developers, partners and integrators to build customized solutions that
leverage information from back-end enterprise applications such as ERP, CRM,
and content management systems.
Advanced
Control
As security
and control become increasingly important, Canon provides tools to easily
configure a system, migrate settings, safeguard data and track resources. With
new imageWARE Enterprise Management Console plug-ins, an entire fleet of
imageRUNNER ADVANCE devices can be centrally monitored for usage information,
updated with the latest firmware, and configured with new applications and
settings.
With Canon’s
server-less Advanced Anywhere-Print (AA-Print) solution that includes a login
application called Universal Login Manager, users can print to a connected
Canon device and retrieve their documents after authentication at any supported
Canon device on their network, and IT administrators can track usage and
enforce printing controls when needed. Each model is also equipped with a
tamper-resistant security chip, which protects passwords and encryption keys.
In addition, the standard HDD Data Erase and HDD Lock features help protect
information even after the hard drive is removed.
Advanced
Performance
The new
imageRUNNER ADVANCE C2200 series incorporates Canon’s state-of-the-art imaging
technology for reliable delivery of crisp, clear output. In addition, fast and
consistent processing speed is delivered through Canon’s advanced imageCHIP
architecture that features two dedicated processors that work together to
accomplish multiple tasks simultaneously. These models also feature a new
Quick Startup mode that allows users to get started in as little as seven
seconds from Main Power Off.
To further
enhance productivity and flexibility of the imageRUNNER ADVANCE C2200 series, a
variety of paper feeding, finishing, printer, security and accessibility options
are available for an additional cost, including a booklet finisher, an external
staple finisher, and an additional cassette feeding unit.
Advanced
Responsibility
Users will
benefit from energy-saving and environmentally conscious features built into the
imageRUNNER ADVANCE C2200 series. The new models have a low Typical
Energy Consumption (TEC) value and consume very little energy during sleep
mode. Print drivers are defaulted to duplex documents, encouraging two-sided
printing to reduce waste. Organizations can further control their resources
through intelligent device management solutions that help optimize the use of
toner and paper. In addition, the combination of fusing technologies and low
melting point toner helps lower overall energy consumption.
Maintaining
Canon’s commitment to lowering environmental burdens, the new models employ
components fabricated with 100 percent recycled plastic from retired
products. They also include bio-based plastic, a plant-derived compound
that replaces certain petroleum-based plastic parts.
Availability
The
imageRUNNER ADVANCE C2230 and the imageRUNNER ADVANCE C2225 are available
through Canon authorized dealers and Canon Solutions America, Inc. at
manufacturer's suggested retail prices of $9,660 and $6,615, respectively*.
