MELVILLE, N.Y., Jan. 30, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Further
demonstrating its dedication to innovation, Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leader in digital imaging
solutions, is proud to announce that Better Buys has recognized the
imageRUNNER ADVANCE 4500 III series as a recipient of the 2020
Innovative Product of the Year award in the black-and-white MFP
category. According to Better Buys, each product awarded with this
accolade has received an Editor's Choice award in 2019, and has
been individually evaluated and compared against the competition on
a range of criteria including unique features, value to the
customer and price by Better Buys. After careful analysis, Better
Buys' team of researchers found that Canon's imageRUNNER ADVANCE
4500 III series is able to stand out amongst other black-and-white
MFPs due, in large part, to its strong security feature
enhancements.
"Canon has consistently improved upon its MFPs with great
upgrades over the years, and the imageRUNNER ADVANCE 4500 III
series is no exception," said Melissa
Pardo-Bunte, editor, Better Buys. "This series is equipped
with advanced security features and scalable options to support
offices that expect to have demanding printing needs."
Built upon the latest edition of Canon's award-winning third
generation imageRUNNER ADVANCE platform, this series provides users
with upgraded security enhancements such as Security Information
and Event Management (SIEM) integration
capability1, enabling companies to include printers in
their existing security systems monitoring, and McAfee Embedded
Control technology as a standard security feature, that, once
enabled, can help protect against cyber threats.2
Targeted to benefit all organizations from small businesses to
enterprise-level operations, the imageRUNNER ADVANCE 4500 III
series also offers standard printing, copying, and scanning with
optional faxing in order to help streamline workflow and efficiency
for customers.
