TOKYO, July 6, 2010 -- Canon Inc. and Canon Marketing Japan Inc. announced today the introduction to the Japanese market of a new lineup of imageRUNNER ADVANCE multifunction office systems, which were designed with an emphasis on ease-of-use: the compact C2000 color series, featuring two models available in four configuration versions, and the black and white 6000 series with three models - the imageRUNNER ADVANCE series' first monochrome offerings.
[imageRUNNER ADVANCE C2030, C2030F, C2020, C2020F]
Canon's new imageRUNNER ADVANCE C2000 series features two models available in four configuration versions. The C2030 and C2030F deliver printing speeds of 30 pages per minute (ppm) for both color and monochrome A4-size output, while the C2020 and C2020F realize output speeds of 20 ppm for color and monochrome A4 printing. The systems' compact design measures 565 mm in width and 650 mm(*1) in depth, achieving an installation space 14% smaller than the previous model(*2) to make possible a compact installation space that is among the smallest for its class.(*3)
The new Canon imageRUNNER ADVANCE C2000 lineup incorporates a bright, easy-to-use 5.7-inch full-color TFT touch panel, which allows users to change the number and layout of on-screen buttons, as well as the background of the screen to suite personal usage needs and objectives.
The 2000-series lineup builds upon various features incorporated in the Canon imageRUNNER ADVANCE series, including the ability to save customized individual settings in a personalized user interface and digitization into various file formats. In addition, each model realizes an approximately 30% reduction in CO2 emissions throughout its product lifecycle compared with previous models. Also, each machine requires only one watt of power during sleep mode, further contributing to energy conservation in the office.

The new Canon imageRUNNER ADVANCE 6000 lineup incorporates image-separation technology that automatically distinguishes between text and images to ensure the reproduction of sharp text and smooth, clear images. In addition, the models feature an A-Si (amorphous silicon) photosensitive drum with high durability to deliver stable, high-definition output. The imageRUNNER ADVANCE 6075, 6065 and 6055 realize high-speed A4-size output at 75 ppm, 65 ppm, and 55 ppm, respectively. Furthermore, the document feeder is capable of holding up to 300 sheets of originals for copying, and incorporates high-capacity deck cassettes to make possible a maximum paper capacity of 8,860 sheets, with an output capacity of 4,000 sheets. With a maximum printing speed of 75 ppm, the machines allow the printing of forms, which are conventionally output via a central system, to be distributed across departments.
The 6000-series lineup enables users to save customized individual settings in a personalized user interface, share files with other imageRUNNER ADVANCE models on the same network, and digitize files into various formats. In addition, each model realizes an approximately 15% reduction in CO2 emissions throughout its product lifecycle compared with a previous model.(*4) Also, each machine requires only one watt of power during sleep mode, further contributing to energy conservation in the office.
