Q: I am new to using a MFD (Multi-function Device) and am afraid of the steep learning curve they normally have.
A: Canon iR ADVANCE series offer an inbuilt step-by-step tutorial in the User Control Panel, which explains how to perform various tasks onscreen. It allows you to explore the full capabilities of the device and guides you along on its user-friendly 8.4? full colour, high resolution touchscreen interface.
Q: I frequently need to scan and distribute sensitive information to the management. How can I ensure that confidentiality and security are not compromised when doing so?
A: When making hardcopy duplicates of confidential documents, the Document Scan Lock feature Canon iR ADVANCE multi-function printer allows you to embed hidden tracking information on the hardcopy, and prevent unauthorized copying, scanning and faxing as well. Administrators will be able to track who, when and which device the document was first copied on.
When scanning confidential documents into PDF formats for distribution, the Encrypted PDF feature embedded in Canon MFP ensures that only authorized users can open the document with the correct password.
Q: We need to print sales proposals to present to clients, and we often have to make changes to it at the last minute. How can a MFD be able to help me save time, cost and yet produce good quality printouts?
A: Printing on conventional inkjet printers may produce high quality printouts albeit at slower speeds while laser printers are fast but with poorer print quality. The new series of Canon iR ADVANCE MFDs come with a new imageCHIP System Architecture, a dual imaging processor that ensures superior image quality with true 1200 x 1200 dpi print resolution. With print and copy speeds starting from 30ppm to 51ppm in full colour, you save time, increase productivity and save money with lower cost per print. Canon iR ADVANCE MFDs also offer the flexibility of an optional booklet or staple finisher, which allows finishing options for your documents to look more professional and presentable to your clients.
Q: How do I print frequently accessed documents such as forms and letterheads without sending the file via my computer every time?
A: You can utilize the Mailbox feature in Canon MFP to allows you to store commonly used documents to print or to send in formats such as JPEG/PDF/XPS/Office Open XML.
Q: My office network does not allow sharing of files between PCs and they either have to share with external storage devices or via email, which causes network congestion.
A: Canon iR ADVANCE series introduces the new ADVANCE Box, a resident network storage feature that serves as a built-in document sharing system. It enables users to share files on the MFD across the network together with security and control features. Users may access files directly from their PC or from another MFD connected to the same network. JPEG, TIFF and PDF files can be viewed and printed directly on the MFD for more convenience and accessibility.
