SUCCESS, N.Y.-To better meet the needs of their office imaging
customers, Canon U.S.A., Inc., the nation’s market share brand leader
in black-and-white and color copier solutions1, today introduced two
new color and one monochrome desktop Laser Beam Printers (LBP) under
the imageRUNNER brand name. With the introduction of the Color
imageRUNNER LBP5960, Color imageRUNNER LBP5360, and imageRUNNER LBP3460
desktop printers, Canon now provides a more complete workflow solution
for the general office environment.“The addition of these new models,
combined with the imageRUNNER branding and dealer channel, will allow
Canon to fully meet the demands and needs of any customer environment
and budget,” said Tod Pike, senior vice president, Imaging Systems
Group, Canon U.S.A. “The market still demands single function printing
technology, and with these new models, those customers can reap the
benefit of a Canon imageRUNNER device on the desktop.”The new compact
printer design fits neatly into tight workspace environments. With
advanced system architecture for superior productivity, the new
imageRUNNER LBP printers offer high speeds, high quality and
exceptional performance. Along with exceptional print quality, Canon’s
new desktop imageRUNNER LBP models include the consistent imageRUNNER
print drivers and device management tools such as Remote UI and
imageWARE Enterprise Management Console. These tools and drivers will
allow users to have seamless integration when combining imageRUNNER LBP
printers in an environment that includes imageRUNNER multifunctional
devices.With the unique ability to adapt to the customer’s specific
business applications, and providing fast print speeds for the office
workflow, the Color imageRUNNER LBP5960 operates at up to 30
pages-per-minute (ppm) for both color and black and white, while the
Color imageRUNNER LBP5360 operates at up to 22 ppm for both color and
black and white output for letter-sized media. The monochrome
imageRUNNER LBP3460 operates at up to 35 ppm for letter-sized
black-and-white output.The new single function imageRUNNER LBPs pack a
great deal of productivity and technology into a convenient compact
design. Incorporating the latest in engine technology, these printers
can achieve high print speeds for both color and monochrome documents.
Color RAPID Fusing (LBP5960 and LBP5360) and RAPID Fusing (LBP3460)
technology allows for short warm-up times and high throughput speeds.
All three models support standard duplexing, potentially saving paper
costs by enabling two-sided document printing, and Canon’s UFR II
Printing Technology, which helps improve processing speed by sharing
the processing workload between the computer and printer.The Color
imageRUNNER LBP5960, which supports true 1,200 x 1,200 dots-per-inch
(dpi) printing resolutions, features an adjustable 230-sheet front
loading paper cassette that is versatile enough to accommodate paper
sizes up to 11-inch x 17-inch including envelopes. The 90-sheet stack
bypass tray will also allow users to print on a variety of stocks. For
increased paper versatility, users can add three more 550-sheet
cassettes to increase paper capacity. With the optional 20GB Hard Disk
Drive installed, the administrator has the ability to enable security
features such as Hard Disk Drive Data Erase.

The Color
imageRUNNER LBP5360 offers 600 x 600 dpi letter-sized printing with a
250-sheet front-loading paper cassette and 100-sheet stack bypass tray.
Busy office environments can take advantage of the ability to add an
additional 500-sheet paper cassette. The Color imageRUNNER LBP5360 also
includes an optional 20 GB Hard Disk Drive for print job box storage
and Hard Disk Drive Data Erase, as well as uses four all-in-one toner
cartridges for easy user replacement and maintenance.

The
imageRUNNER LBP3460 is a letter-sized 600 x 600 dpi black-and-white
printer for the general office environment. The printer can utilize an
all-in-one cartridge with either a 6,000 or 12,000 image yield*,
depending on office output needs. The single cartridge system contains
all consumables for fast easy maintenance and consistent print quality.
The printer also allows for an additional 500-sheet front-loading paper
cassette for increased paper capacity.

All three single function
LBP devices incorporate expanded memory capacities to provide
high-speed image processing of data, up to 384MB RAM for Color
imageRUNNER LBP5960/5360 and up to 320MB RAM for the imageRUNNER
LBP3460. All three devices feature a standard USB 2.0 High Speed
interface for direct connection to a host, as well as 10/100BaseTX
Ethernet interface for shared use and remote monitoring in networked
environments.
