models designed for greater user convenience

SINGAPORE, 5 April 2016 – Canon today announced the launch of the
first models in the newest generation of imageRUNNER ADVANCE (iR-ADV) A3
multi-function devices (MFDs) (iR-ADV 6555i / 6565i / 6575i). The new iR-ADV
comes in Titanium White and Damson Black to complement the increase in
contemporary-designed offices with an emphasis on clean lines and neutral
colour palettes.

“The needs of the modern workgroups are
constantly changing, and Canon strives to be at the forefront of the industry.
Our new generation series features a high level of connectivity and
personalisation. These features were designed to create a user-centric platform
to help users simplify workflow and increase their productivity at work,” said
Vincent Low, Director of Business Imaging Solutions, Canon Singapore.

Brilliance in Simplicity with Personalisation

The new generation of iR-ADV is designed
around large workgroups, allowing for a high level of personalisation that
begins with picture log-in for user authentication and the gateway to access My
ADVANCE, a one-step approach to user customisation and enhanced security.

In an environment where employees of different
nationalities work together, the new feature in the iR-ADV MFDs enables users
to customise the default settings on the initial display screen to suit their
preferred language, input their frequent document imaging tasks and even their
own address list.

In this instance, My ADVANCE enables a user
working on various projects to create secure Group Address[1] lists
accessible only to authenticated group members through the personalised Address
Book on the new iR-ADV MFDs. The new level of personalisation is designed
to enhance convenience for the user, allowing them to save time from
searching and selecting specific users and minimising the chances of sending
mail to unintended recipients with the same name. 

These days, users demand interfaces that are
easy to use, and the enhanced iR-ADV with the 10.1-inch touchscreen interface
offers an intuitive experience with smartphone-like functionalities such as
‘swipe and pinch.’ 

Intelligent Features Drive Productivity and
Sustainability

The innovative Intelligent Recovery system on
the new iR-ADV series detects users who are in proximity and achieves a quicker
start-up from sleep mode for users’ convenience. Even in the presence of
possible users, the device will return to sleep mode after 30 seconds if it is
not in use, thus optimising savings gained from power consumption.

The environmentally friendly ECO-staple is
also an optional external finisher in the new iR-ADV series. This feature enables users to bind a maximum of
five sheets of paper together staples-free and also facilitates easy shredding
of documents without having to remove staples beforehand, thus improving
workflow efficiency as well. 

With connectivity vital for workers in the
digital age, the latest iR-ADV series is further enhanced with standard Wi-Fi
connectivity function, allowing users to print and scan wirelessly from their
smart devices.

Reinforced Security for Confidence

The new user authentication system with
picture log-in also helps to bridge security and control gaps, enabling better
management of user access, where administrators would be able to isolate
certain functions to specific users.

With the new iR-ADV devices, comprehensive
Hard Disk Drive (HDD) security comes standard with features such as HDD Data
Erase, HDD Password Lock and HDD Encryption which is FIPS 140-2 validated.
These security features automatically overwrites and erases data as soon as the job
is complete, thus reducing the risk of compromising sensitive
information. 

The Forced Details Output function lists
specific information (date and time, user identification, device IP and serial
number) on every printed page to facilitate higher security and control of
printed documents.  This is especially important when required to track
the source of the printed document for a user who may have left behind
confidential information.

Availability
The new monochrome iR-ADV 6555i / 6565i / 6575i series is now available at
authorised Canon distributors and dealers in Singapore.
