Cost Saving Solutions

Both MegaTank models are designed to reduce printing costs by utilising high-yield ink tanks that can print up to 6,000 pages^[1] for black-and-white documents and 7,700 pages¹ for colour documents on a bundled set of four ink bottles. In the Economy mode^[2], the printers can deliver up to 7,600 pages¹ for black-and-white documents and 8,100 pages¹ for colour documents. The printers are compatible with the GI-71s low-cost ink bottles, making them ideal for users with infrequent printing needs.

Easy Maintenance for Minimal Downtime

With easily replaceable print heads, the MegaTank G3780 and G4780 minimize downtime, allowing users to change them independently without requiring technical support. Additionally, the maintenance cartridges can be removed and replaced effortlessly, without the need for complex tools, ensuring quick maintenance and enhancing overall convenience and user-friendliness.

Boost Productivity and Streamline Efficiency

Equipped with On-Demand Fixing technology, the laser printers heat up quickly and deliver the first printout in just 5 seconds[3], —an essential feature for users who need to print only 2 to 3 pages at a time. For larger tasks, they can print up to 33 pages per minute[4](A4 Mono) and up to 38 pages per minute (A4 Color) making them perfect for a busy office environment. Designed with both efficiency and eco-friendliness in mind, all printers support two-sided printing, reducing paper consumption and minimizing environmental impact.

The multifunction imageCLASS MF280 series offers even more features to enhance office productivity. In addition to flatbed scanning, these models include an auto document feeder (ADF), allowing for seamless, multi-page document scanning. With the imageCLASS MF286dn and MF289dw, scanned documents can be directly uploaded to a shared folder or easily emailed to other users, simplifying document management and promoting collaboration.

Intuitive Operation and Easy Maintenance

The imageCLASS LBP170 series and MF280 series feature a 5-line LCD or a 6-line[5] touchscreen LCD with a vari-angle operation panel for improved visibility. Alert messages and step-by-step instructions are displayed on the screen when simple troubleshooting is required, making these printers easy to operate, manage, and maintain.

The all-in-one toner cartridge design further simplifies the replacement process, minimizing downtime while ensuring consistent print quality and easy upkeep. In addition to the standard yield of up to 1,400 prints [6], users can choose a higher-yield option of up to 4,100 prints4 helping to lower the cost per page and reduce the frequency of toner cartridge replacements.

Seamless Connectivity and Enhanced Security

The imageCLASS LBP172dw, LBP811cx, LBP468x, LBP732cx, MF284dw, and MF289dw offer wireless connectivity, enhancing productivity and convenience by allowing printing from multiple devices without the need for cables. These models also feature TLS 1.3, IEEE 802.1X, and Verify System at Startup, providing IT administrators with robust network security to safeguard against potential threats. Additionally, users can print directly from their smart devices using compatible solutions such as Canon PRINT, Canon Print Service, AirPrint®, and Mopria® Print Service.

Further, supported by the latest WPA3 and TLS 1.3 standards, the inkjet printers’ Wi-Fi connectivity helps to safeguard against data snooping and allows users to print securely from distance.  With the printers connected to the Internet and registered with Canon cloud service, users can also print documents wirelessly from their smart devices or scan them for storage in the cloud via the Canon PRINT mobile app.
