Canon Refreshes Color MFP Lineup to Help Meet Big Demands of Small Businesses

MELVILLE, N.Y., March 28, 2017

– Offering
a “Different Class of Printers” to help meet customer demands, Canon U.S.A., a
leader in digital imaging solutions, today announced the addition of four new
models that refresh and replace its best-selling Color imageCLASS models. Designed
to provide a level of performance and support to small businesses and home
offices that is on closer par with equipment sold to larger offices, but in a
smaller form factor, the new Color imageCLASS MF733Cdw/MF731Cdw/MF634Cdw/MF632Cdw
printers offer intuitive use, enhanced performance and a more vivid, vibrant image
quality compared with predecessor versions. Furthermore, all four models offer
new higher-yield consumables and a new standard limited three-year warranty
backed by Canon’s one hundred percent U.S.-based service and support network,
providing businesses with both the tools to be successful and increased peace
of mind for when its needed the most. The four new imageCLASS models will be
available at retail stores and via online retailers, making them easily
available to learn more, touch, try and purchase.

“Canon is proud to unveil the latest upgrades
to our celebrated imageCLASS lineup,” said Toyotsugu Kuwamura, executive vice
president and general manager, Business Imaging Solutions Group, Canon U.S.A.,
Inc. “When looking for a new printer, customers want a reliable device that can
quickly and easily deliver high-quality results, whether they are using it in
their own home or place of work. With these models, we took things a step
further, enhancing color quality output and protecting the user’s investment
with a three-year limited warranty, helping make these new imageCLASS models
truly a different class of printers.”

The Color imageCLASS MF733Cdw and
MF634Cdw models are “all-in-one” devices with print, scan, copy and fax
capabilities while the MF731Cdw and MF632Cdw models are “three-in-one” with
their ability to print, scan and copy. The Color imageCLASS MF733Cdw and
MF731Cdw printers are designed for a recommended monthly print volume of approximately
750 – 4,000 sheets and allow for an expandable paper capacity of up to 850 sheets.
Alternatively, the MF634Cdw and MF632Cdw models are positioned for those
printing at a recommended monthly print volume of approximately 200 2,500
sheets with a paper capacity of up to 151 sheets.

Intuitive User Experience

Users will be welcomed by a new,
streamlined control panel and user interface. The touch panel for all four
models has been increased from 3.5 to 5 inches, representing a “best in class” industry
screen size for the MF634Cdw/MF632Cdw, to allow for more on-screen options and
features, cell-phone-like “flick” technology for ease of navigation, and a
digital QWERTY keyboard to help users enter data more easily. The display also
offers visual guides to assist users in getting the most out of their printer
and troubleshooting any issues that may arise. Users on the go will be able to
take advantage of built-in Wi-Fi® Direct Connection1
capabilities, allowing users to print from a variety of locations in
their home or office without the need to access a separate network. A remote
user interface allows users to access the status of their job, including pape and toner status2.

Enhanced Performance

Speed is an integral component of a
successful printing operation for small businesses dealing with severe time
constraints and limited staff. These devices feature major speed upgrades from
their predecessors with MF730 Series models now providing a speed of up to 28 pages-per-minute
(ppm) and up to19 ppm for the MF630 Series devices. To further speed up workflows,
the imageCLASS MF733Cdw and MF634Cdw models both feature single pass, two-sided
scanning to allow for more efficient processing of double-sided documents by
scanning both sides of the original document in one pass through the duplex,
automatic document feeder.

Vivid, Vibrant Color Output

The new imageCLASS printers take
advantage of Canon’s V2 color technology that is typically reserved
for more expensive equipment to expand the color-reproduction rage for more
vivid and vibrant output. Through V2 technology, printed documents feature improved saturation and
sharpness to highlight details and heighten color. Users will find that their
printed documents accurately reflect the clarity and richness of the original
image, an important component for those operations producing high quality
business prints and rich color images.

Larger Toner Cartridges

Intended to reduce customer maintenance
requirements and downtime, all four models leverage new hi-yield and standard
yield consumables that are significantly larger than predecessor versions. The MF730 models offer 6,300 page (black) and
5,000 page (cyan, magenta, yellow) hi-yield cartridges, as well as standard
version consumables offering 2,200 page (black) and 2,300 page (cyan, magenta,
yellow). The MF630 models offer 2,800 page (black) and 2,200 page (cyan,
magenta, yellow) hi-yield cartridges, as well as standard version consumables
offering 1,400 page (black) and 1,300 page (cyan, magenta, yellow).

Extended Support

To help customers protect their
investment and minimize downtime, all four of the new imageCLASS models come
with an out-of-the-box three year limited warranty. This extended warranty
separates these four new Canon imageCLASS printers from competitive offerings,
which frequently only offer a year-long initial warranty. Recognizing the
importance of reliability and quality service, imageCLASS owners are treated to
award-winning support that is one hundred percent based in the United States to
help alleviate any issues that they may be experiencing through expert
assistance.
