imageRUNNER ADVANCE

Canon's strong partnerships have provided both the insight and
inspiration to devloping cutting-edge solutions for real-world
business demands. Canon knows that time is critical. And with
the right tools, anyone can manage tasks efficiently and deliver
the highest quality products, each and every time. The key is
communication of all parts - the ideal fusion of vision and technology
that empowers people beyond the ordinary. It's this very dedication
to technological innovation and real-world testing that allows the
imageRUNNER ADVANCE Series to deliver solutions far beyond
conventional expectations.

Super-fast. Powerful. Precise. Canon's new Advanced
imageCHIP architecture has two central control
systems that work together to accomplish multiple
tasks simulataneously, with the accelerated speed
your work demands. The imageRUNNER ADVANCE
Series offers superb image quality and exceptional
flexibility. Its new system design supports a vast
array of features to simplify your workflow and
ensure impressive output at a breathtaking pace.

Form embraces function with a smooth, universal design
that's not only appealing to the eye, but also
affords all users operation that's easy, comfortable,
and accessible. The clever, "soft-touch" user interface
allows novices and experienced users alike a satisfying
way to work. The compact footprint, soft curves, and
natural, soothing color palette of the imageRUNNER
ADVANCE Series create a beautiful harmony between
innovation and your work environment.

The Canon imageRUNNER ADVANCE Series has
an eye on the future. Engineered for adaptability,
these models help you acheive your changing goals
as your business grows. Users have the power to
personalize the systems with ease and, with the
touch of a button, they can simplify tasks with
specific, custom solutions for any size business.

Witness the rebith of intelligence and power. Completely
redesigned, the highly responsive, flexible user interface
is all about simplicity and ease. Two menus streamline your
workflow. Just a stroke of the Main Menu keys gives you
instant access to device functions while the Quick Menu
powers productivity by allowing you to combine and
access routine tasks at the touch of one button.

Whether from the imageRUNNER ADVANCE model or your
desk, you can have direct access to the functions that make your
work easier. The imageRUNNER ADVANCE Desktop utility
features a clear, comprehensive PC interface that transforms
your computer into a central command station. Now you can
perform personal document workflow tasks, such as archiving,
merging, and distributing, all from the desktop with "drag-and-
drop" simplicity. You can also search for documents with ease,
and even monitor the status of your work from any location on
the network.

You'll accomplish more with less effort. By streamlining steps,
the imageRUNNER ADVANCE Series helps you move information
and generate output more quickly. Complicated or repeated
tasks can be assigned to a single button, speeding workflow
and improving accuracy. The minutes saved at every step add
up to big increases in effectiveness and cost savings.

With more people working together from more places, effective
collaboration is vital. Advanced Box, Canon's unique built-in
document sharing solution, streamlines the exchange of informa-
tion. The ingrated system and enhanced storage features let
you retrieve and edit files, save them in native formats, and share
them readily with your colleagues. The imageRUNNER ADVANCE
Series seamlessly bridges the paper and digital worlds.

Canon delivers complete integration of software and hard-
ware for centralized, scalable control in every business
operation. The Series' new Remote UI lets you monitor a
single device, while the imageWARE Enterprise Management
Console lets you track the activity of an entire fleet - even
receive automated e-mail notifications if toner is low or
a tray is out of paper. With both utilities, administrators
can easily check job status and supply levels. And the
streamlined user interfaces maximize uptime and keep
you in charge of the process at every step.

Today, more than ever, optimizing resources is
critical, and so the imageRUNNER ADVANCE Series
makes it easier to track, manage, and influence user
behavior. From analyzing color output by employee
or client to encouraging double-sided printing, you
can ensure that resources are employed optimally
and costs are allocated accurately.

The balance between device security and staff
productivity has never been so effortless. Positive
user identification provides a valuable safeguard.
With role-based permissions, administrators can
easily allow certain functions only to authorized
users, without hindering unrestricted tasks. And
user information can be recorded in logs and reports.

The imageRUNNER ADVANCE Series offers multilayered solutions that help
businesses meet their goals of privacy and protection. From installation to
retirement, this Series has solutions that safeguard your confidential information
and support security compliance. All models have a Trusted Platform Module,
a new security chip with tamper-resitant hardware that provides protection
of vulnerable settings like passwords. Options such as removable hard drives
help ensure that data may be safely secured. And data erase and encryption
options offer true peace of mind.

Give your business a competitive edge by producing professional-quality
presentations, reports, and newsletters. Thanks to Canon's new tech-
nology, image qualty is beautifully enhanced. You can easily generate
accurate, high-impact color or crisp black-and-white results on demand.
And with the extensive array of finishing capabilities available on the
imageRUNNER ADVANCE Series, the possibilities are almost endless.

When productivity soars, so do business profits.
Wth the imageRUNNER ADVANCE Series, infor-
mation processes are stunningly streamlined and
automated. With the management power Advanced
Box offers, teams are free to generate competitive
new ideas. Repetitive steps and extra hardware
installation are eliminated with smart features
such as Remote Fax.

Each business has special issues that require unique
solutions. With its brilliant architecture and versatile
platform, the imageRUNNER ADVANCE Series allows
for custom applications to be developed and seam-
lessly implemented. Building on Canon's innovative
MEAP platform, this exceptional Series brings new
levels of connector and link support to enhance
communication with existing systems and integration
with those you may acquire in the future.

Canon incorporates signature reliability into
every imageRUNNER ADVANCE Series model.
Status notifications keep you ahead of the game,
and toner can even be replaced on-the-fly. If the
correct paper size or stock for a job is unavailable,
the system will begin the next job without delay.
And with access to the latest technology and
simple, clear upgrades, you can power through
your jobs, giving you more time to devote to
other business areas.

Through its Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) System,
Canon has lowered CO₂ emissions by more that 30%
over previous models by focusing on each stage
of the product life cycle, including manufacturing,
energy use, and logistics. These products are designed
to be the smallest and lightest in their class, with less
packaging to make transportation more efficient.

Canon is making a difference through creative
ecological thinking. The imageRUNNER ADVANCE
models employ certain components fabricated
with 100% recycled plastic from retired products.
Canon's innovative green technologies also include
bio-based plastic, a plant-derived compound that
replaces certain petroleum-based plastic parts.

A visionary company, Canon knows that the world
and the workplace need a greener workflow. The
imageRUNNER ADVANCE Series delivers just that.
Now organizations across the globe can seamlessly
share and distribute digital documents. And because
you can preview files prior to printing, changes can
be made before comitting toner to paper to avoid
print errors. Administrators can even encourage duplex
printing to help reduce waste and save paper as well
as optimize color usage throughout the enterprise.

From the inside out, the imageRUNNER ADVANCE
Series is designed for high energy efficiency and
stellar performance. The combination of Canon's
fusing technologies and new pQ or pO toners
helps to reduce overall energy consumption by
minimizing heat and power requirements. The
Series' new duplex color image reader captures
superb-quality images at impressive speeds
while using less energy than ever. With advanced
technologies present in each model, the Series
meets ENERGY STAR standards.

All suppliers are required to meet Canon's stringent
Green Procurement policy and environmental
terms. This helps Canon exceed the toughest
global standards set by the EU RoHS Directive,
which requires the restriction of six specified
hazardous substances. Canon currently restricts
the use of 33 such substances.

·       imageWARE Remote, which enables the automatic submission of meter data and service alerts for pre-emptive support and consumables fulfillment, e-Billing functionality and integration with leading third-party Dealer ERP systems, such as OMD and e-automate

·       uniFLOW Output Manager is an intelligent and highly scalable print management software suite with modules for Universal Secure Printing, Rules-Based Routing, Authentication, Desktop Accounting and Print Center Management

·       Canon U.S.A. Professional Services brings the expertise to design and implement managed document services, from analyzing a customer’s print environment and developing new designs to reporting results and identifying areas for future improvements

·       Canon MDS Knowledge Portal provides a secure Web site for business development and support, including business plans, training modules, best practices, white papers, case studies, industry analysis and more

The Canon MDS initiative will provide the framework and know-how required for Canon and its channel partners to effectively deliver managed services to clients. Based upon this introduction, Canon intends to capture a larger share of the growing market for outsourced document related services.
