TRUMBULL, CONN. November 7, 2011 – Océ, a Canon Group Company and an international leader in digital document management, today announced the Document Printing Systems division of Océ North America has begun selling the Canon imageRUNNER 1700 Series of monochrome, multifunctional office devices. These compact, yet effective systems will easily integrate with existing MFP and printer fleets and allow users to control their devices in a flexible and convenient print solution.
“The imageRUNNER 1700 Series offers customers using single-function devices and 30 to 55 page-per-minute (ppm) MFPs more flexibility in consolidating their printing, scanning and copying needs to a solution featuring outstanding quality and features,” said John Reilly, President, Océ North America, Document Printing Systems. “With greater functionality and easy accessibility, these models are an ideal fit for mid to high-volume work groups and managed print environments.”
With a compact footprint, the imageRUNNER 1700 Series offers big productivity with fast, high-quality output, finishing and secure printing. Scan functions supporting send to email, i-fax, SMB and FTP destinations allow easy document distribution to back-end applications and document management systems. In addition, Canon’s common desktop print drivers and management tools automatically detect the available features of each system, making it easy for users to access the full power of each device.
“Offering Canon’s innovative imaging technology and reliability, the compact imageRUNNER 1700 Series is a powerful solution for managing the print needs of high-volume workgroup and managed print environments,” said Sam Yoshida, vice president and general manager, Canon U.S.A., Inc.
For better management and device control, the imageRUNNER 1700 Series features powerful centralized management tools and remote access utilities. Users and administrators can securely access a single device over a network via a standard web browser through a remote user interface. And large numbers of devices can be managed via the complementary imageWARE Enterprise Management Console web-based application. As a result, administrators can view the status of systems and consumables and adjust configurations from across the network.
For more robust management and device control, the imageRUNNER 1700 Series comes standard with the ability to support both uniFLOW and Serverless Secure Printing. The Series can seamlessly integrate into a full uniFLOW-powered solution providing customers with controls and extensive reporting for better device and user management, cost management, device access, intelligent print routing, follow me printing and additional security features uniFLOW provides.
The imageRUNNER 1700 Series comprises six models with base and “iF” configurations. These models are the imageRUNNER 1750iF/1750, printing at up to 52 ppm (letter); the imageRUNNER 1740iF/1740, printing up to 42 ppm (letter) and the imageRUNNER 1730iF/1730, printing up to 32 ppm (letter). The “iF” models feature PCL 5e/6, PostScript 3 Emulation, a fax line and the ability to create searchable PDFs as standard features. Those features are optional on the base models. In addition, all six models come standard with secure printing capabilities, which can be set to require a password to release print jobs.
All of the imageRUNNER 1700 Series products are equipped with a tilting 5.7” LCD touch screen, a 550-sheet paper cassette that automatically detects paper size, a 100-sheet stack bypass tray and 1,200 dpi native print resolution. For more advanced paper handling, three additional 550-sheet paper cassettes can be added, providing up to 2,300 total input capacity and an optional compact finisher will quickly produce stapled sets. The Series’ high-yield imaging drums and toner provide greater uptime and higher productivity.
