MELVILLE, N.Y., Sept. 22, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Delivering
imageRUNNER ADVANCE technology to the high-volume office market,
Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leader in
digital imaging solutions, today unveiled the imageRUNNER ADVANCE
C7500 Series, three new multifunction color systems (MFPs) designed
to produce vivid, impactful prints. Offering customers a wide range
of finishing options and consistent high-quality images, the
imageRUNNER ADVANCE C7580i, imageRUNNER ADVANCE C7570i and
imageRUNNER ADVANCE C7565i systems are designed for high-volume
offices and demanding multi-user environments, including large
departments within companies, schools, universities or other
self-service environments.
As the newest models to join the third generation imageRUNNER
ADVANCE platform, the imageRUNNER ADVANCE C7500 Series comes
standard with Universal Login Manager (ULM), empowering businesses
with tools to help promote workflow efficiency, cost control and
fleet management for multi-user environments. This server-less
solution provides device authentication and simple usage tracking
in a customizable, easy-to-implement solution, as well as
convenient user authentication, allowing organizations to help
manage access and costs by controlling individual users' access and
usage. Through the use of this standard feature, these new models
can also integrate with optional uniFLOW Canon's comprehensive and
scalable software solution platform for output management and smart
scanning solutions.
"We are excited to extend our imageRUNNER ADVANCE technology to
the high-priority color needs of multi-user environments," said
Toyotsugu Kuwamura, executive vice president and general manager,
Business Imaging Solutions Group, Canon U.S.A., Inc. "With these new models, Canon is
advancing its notable color technology to high-volume office
environments with MFPs that provide powerful performance and help
enhance customer productivity."
Image Quality
Designed to provide rich, impactful prints, the imageRUNNER
ADVANCE C7500 Series employs the V2 color profile as
well as some of the proven engine and imaging technologies from the
production space that imagePRESS customers have come to love. For
example, a red Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser (R-VCSEL)
helps customers create crisp, clear color prints with 2400 x 2400
dpi print resolution. "Consistently Vivid" (CV) Toner for
remarkably vibrant images on a wide variety of media helps to
create output with solid blacks and image stability with limited
text irregularities.
Productivity
The imageRUNNER ADVANCE C7500 Series features several key
productivity-enhancing improvements from previous imageRUNNER
ADVANCE models. In addition to expanded paper weight support
through paper cassettes, an improved toner melting point and
enhanced fixing process allow businesses to create output on a
variety of media including heavy stock up to 300gsm, uncoated,
coated and textured paper types.
Additionally, the imageRUNNER ADVANCE C7500 Series toner is
designed for significantly higher yields from previous models, as
well as greater drum yields. These enhancements can help decrease
the frequency with which users need to change bottles, helping to
contribute to more print uptime.
Workflow Efficiency
Delivering Canon's signature ease of operation to the digital
business environment, an intuitive user interface with a large,
responsive color touch-screen with smart phone-like usability helps
make carrying out tasks easy. Thanks to standard ULM, customers can
enjoy the workflow benefits of advanced personalization. Upon
authentication, users can access My ADVANCE features to create a
personalized experience tailored to their preferences. Display
settings and many frequently used functions can be customized on a
user-by-user basis, allowing individuals to set their preferred
language, create their own personal address book or send to
contacts saved on compatible smartphones or tablets via integration
with the free Canon PRINT Business app1.
Diverse Finishing Options
Organizations needing to create a wide array of finished
materials can benefit from the flexibility of finishing options
included in the imageRUNNER ADVANCE C7500 Series. A variety of
finishing possibilities can be added to these models, including
folding, hole-punching, document insertion, multi-position and
saddle stitch stapling and booklet-making/trimming. In addition,
convenient Staple On Demand and Staple-free Stapling features are
available with optional finishers.
Security Features
In order to help organizations control access to their sensitive
information, the imageRUNNER ADVANCE C7500 Series features a set of
standard and allows for optional security capabilities
2. As part of the third generation imageRUNNER ADVANCE
platform, these MFPs include a standard Hard Disk Drive (HDD)
Encryption function with FIPS140-2 validation. When activated, this
function automatically encrypts data stored on the main unit's HDD,
thereby helping to restrict access to the customer's data. The
standard HDD Erase feature can be enhanced with an optional feature
that allows you to schedule the erase times and create a
confirmation report.
Device & Fleet Management
Using the familiar interface enjoyed by existing imageRUNNER
ADVANCE customers, the imageRUNNER ADVANCE C7500 series helps
simplify the user experience within fleets, which can help increase
individual and company productivity. These new systems can also be
supported by Canon's imageWARE Enterprise Management
Console3, its plug-ins and Canon's Managed Document
Services4. With these additional system and use
management solutions, businesses can benefit from centralized
control for day-to-day management, as well as tools to easily
deploy and manage device settings, user management and security
features across the fleet of Canon multifunction systems.
Thanks to the Unified Firmware Platform, additional
functionality can be integrated into existing models within the
third generation of imageRUNNER ADVANCE MFPs through future version
upgrades, potentially unlocking opportunities for these models to
continuously provide new value to users.

With features to help reduce waste and technology designed to
provide low energy consumption, which can help limit emissions,
these new imageRUNNER ADVANCE C7500 Series models are Energy Star®
certified and rated EPEAT® Gold5.
