Canon Introduces the Canon Color imageRUNNER C2550 MFP

Canon U.S.A. has added to its extensive color line-up of imageRUNNER MFPs with the introduction of the Canon Color imageRUNNER C2550 device. With its sleekly designed and compact footprint, the Color imageRUNNER C2550 device is suited for smaller offices and workgroups, and addresses today's evolving and complex document management needs, including project collaboration and document security.

Enabling users to save time and achieve higher productivity, the Canon Color imageRUNNER C2550 prints in color up to 23 ppm and in monochrome up to 25 ppm for letter-sized output. The new Canon imageRUNNER model comes standard with UFRII (Ultra Fast Rendering) printing to facilitate high-speed color up to 1,200 dpi printing and Color Universal Send to enable the distribution of scanned documents to multiple network destinations.

Using Canon's imageCHIP (Concurrent Hyper Intelligent Platform) system architecture, the new Canon Color imageRUNNER device brings high performance and data processing capability, as well as reliable color to office users. The robust imageCHIP system architecture, with its dual CPU design and increased memory capacity (up to 1.5GB RAM and 80GB Hard Drive), helps to simultaneously process documents that are scanned, copied or printed quickly and efficiently.

As businesses expand their operations across satellite offices and geographies, the Canon Color imageRUNNER C2550 offers solutions for secure and efficient document collaboration. Users can securely access the Web or corporate intranets from the device to download and print Web pages or PDF files with Canon's Web Access Software – an industry first.

For added security, Canon includes a Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning (WebDAV) protocol to help ensure shared documents are securely transferred between users in any location with Web access. The new devices support IPv6 for enhanced network infrastructure management, and are available with HDD Data Erase and HDD Data Encryption options to further protect stored, scanned and printed data.

Through the device's Access Management System, administrators have greater security and cost controls over device access at the user- and group-levels. Authentication schemes and access include Single Sign-On using network accounts, Simple Device Log-In, and Department ID Mode with optional Control Card/Card Reader system.

The Canon Color imageRUNNER C2550 is also available with a number of options to increase office productivity and performance. The device supports an optional internal finisher that can corner or double-staple multi-page documents without increasing the footprint of the device. An Inner 2 Way Tray option can also provide dual paths for output, providing separation of copies, prints or faxes. An optional 50-sheet Duplexing Automatic Document Feeder accessory allows users to scan or copy documents at up to 44 ipm at 300 dpi in black-and-white and color.

The embedded print controller also allows for a number of printing options to be added to the new Color imageRUNNER C2550, including PCL 5c/6, PostScript 3 emulation support and Wireless LAN option.
