Achieve greater productivity and cost savings with Canon’s latest lineup of MAXIFY printers

With
lightning fast print speed, cloud printing capabilities, improved security
features and at least 50% lower cost per print[1],
the MAXIFY MG5470, MB5170 and iB4170 redefines work efficiency for small
businesses.

“With the secure mail delivery feature, the new MAXIFY range delivers
class-leading print and document solutions beyond cost savings and addresses
security and confidentiality concerns for SMEs,” said Edwin Teoh, Head of
Marketing, Singapore Operations, Canon Singapore. “Also, the new range supports
productivity features such as high speed dual-sided scanning more common to
large networked devices and is easily compatible with other fleet management
solutions.”

Speed is one of
the most important considerations for a business printer. These new printers
deliver print speeds up to 24 images per minute (ipm) and up to 32.5 pages per
minute (ppm) for monochrome printing, as well as 15.5 ipm and 26.5 ppm for
colour printing in maximum speed settings. Equipped with a wider print head and
the unique overlapping paper feeding technology, where the printer draws the
second sheet to be printed, overlapping the first sheet while it’s printing,
significantly increases the print speed for images. Combined with Quick First
Print technology, where the first printout is ready in just 6 seconds, users
can expect consistent printing performances and higher productivity
levels.

With the integrated 50-sheet and 2-sided Automatic Document Feeder (ADF)
design on the MAXIFY MB5470 and MB5170, batch scanning, copy or faxing will be of
convenience for users. The duplex engine on the ADF design, allied with a
twin-scanning sensor design makes light work of digitising 2-sided document
originals in a single-pass. Both the MAXIFY MB5470 and iB4170 hold up to 500
sheets of paper in two large-capacity cassettes, making them ideal for
businesses with higher volume printing needs. For smaller offices with lower
document output, the MB5170 will be a good fit with its 250sheet cassette.

Coupled with the unique MAXIFY Dual Resistant High Density (DRHD) pigment
inks that demonstrate high fade resistance, water and marker resistance, razor
sharp text with minimal bleed will be obtained. Printed documents are
effectively water-resistant, so accidental water spills will not pose an issue
to the quality of print output.

Equipped with both wireless and wired LAN connectivity features, users
will have the flexibility of connecting to the MAXIFY printers via different
channels, ranging from Desktop PCs and laptops to mobile devices like
smartphones and tablet PCs. With the added convenience of mobile printing via
Canon PRINT Inkjet/SELPHY app or cloud printing via MAXIFY Cloud Link or Google
Cloud Print, work efficiency will be tremendously improved.

With a variety of machine management and document security options
available on the MAXIFY printers, businesses can be assured that their data
will be secured. Users will be able to restrict functions like copying,
scanning to USB flash drive and changing of LAN settings, to guard against
inappropriate use and maintain data confidentiality. Support for IP Address
Filtering also ensures errant hosts can be excluded from usage of valuable
printing resources.

All three MAXIFY printers support the Simple Network Management Protocol
(SNMP), which allows multi-device management and monitoring via popular fleet
management applications such as Canon’s imageWARE Enterprise Management Console
(iWEMC) and PrintFleet. This maintains data security as it allows the
transmission of email data via the user’s mail server and it also enables a
seamless deployment with larger device fleets. For smaller installation sizes,
individual printers can also be monitored over a local network via their Remote
User Interfaces (RUI), accessible from any web browser.

The Scan to Email function supports Canon’s own cloud service, and adds
another layer of security by enabling compatibility with enterprise mail servers.

The MAXIFY MB5470 and MB5070 offer some unique features not found on
conventional inkjet printers. The ID Card Copy function allows users to copy 2
sides of an ID card or credit card onto a single-sided print while retaining
the original card sizes.

For making custom notices and posters, Canon’s PosterArtist Lite
software is an addition to the software suite supporting the MAXIFY printers.
This software application can be downloaded from Canon’s official website.

The larger 3.5-inch touchscreen LCD on the MAXIFY MB5470 and MB5170 is
designed for easy slide-and-swipe touch operation. With the improved user
interface, LAN settings and remaining ink levels in cartridges will be
displayed, allowing for easy monitoring. Users’ preferences for specific job
functions such as scan resolution or copy layouts can be captured and made
easily accessible from the home screen.

The MAXIFY MB5470, MB5170 and iB4170 feature low power consumption of
approximately 0.9W, which helps small businesses to save on overall electricity
cost. Automatic ON/OFF settings can also be scheduled so the unnecessary power
consumption can be kept to a minimum. An integrated automatic two-sided
printing engine also reduces paper consumption by optimizing paper use.

The MAXIFY MB5470,
MB5170 and iB4170 are now available at all Canon authorized dealers at the
following recommended retail prices:
