    Canon malaysia loads security features into printers
    Canon
    Malaysia’s four new imageRunner colour multifunction printers (MFPs)
    ship with variety of security features to protect an organisation’s
    sensitive documents from unauthorised users.

    The
    ImageRunner 3380i, 4580i, 5180 and 5180i feature the WebDAV (Web-based
    Distributed Authoring and Versioning) security option that manages
    basic directory service listing, publishing directories and server
    authentication.  Via WebDAV, users can upload files onto an Internet
    server for online sharing purposes.  However, these files are protected
    by Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol, thus only approved users can
    access them.  Users can also protect their documents with the Encrypted
    PDF feature, and secure these with a password to restrict access,
    editing, and printing. They can also embed watermarks that appear when
    copies are made. In addition to user-level authentication, there are
    also security options to restrict access by network port or IP/MAC
    address.  Canon’s MFPs can print, copy, scan, fax and archive. They
    also offer cost-saving features to help corporations save money when
    printing in colour. The built-in ACS (Automatic Colour Sensing)
    technology, for instance, intelligently detects when colour is present
    on a page and then prints accordingly. Additionally, it can be made so
    that only authorised personnel or departments are allowed to print in
    colour. The higher-end 1,200dpi resolution 5180 and 5180i (a network
    version) offer a print speed of up to 51 pages per minute (ppm) for
    both colour and monochrome documents. Pricing starts from RM48,299 and
    RM55,799 respectively. The 4580i, capable of 40ppm in colour and 45ppm
    in monochrome, is priced from RM50,899, while the lower-end 3380i is
    RM39,299 and above.
