Canon U.S.A. Sets a New Standard for Desktop Productivity with the Introduction of New Laser Beam Printer
Tuesday 04. August 2009 - New Color imageRUNNER LBP5460 Extends Productivity of the imageRUNNER MFP Line To The Desktop
Adding to its robust line-up of award-winning imageRUNNER systems and helping to redefine desktop productivity, Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leader in digital imaging and office solutions, today introduced its latest desktop laser beam printer (LBP) – the Color imageRUNNER LBP5460. This model is the newest addition to the Companys successful LBP desktop printer line, which also includes the Color imageRUNNER LBP5975 and LBP5970, both introduced last year.
Developed on the same high-performance architecture which powers the Canon Color imageRUNNER product line, the Color imageRUNNER LBP5460 is an economical, full color, laser beam printer with enhanced productivity and extraordinary functionality for mid-volume workgroups that are seeking to print color and black-and-white documents. Utilizing Canons patented Color RAPID Fusing System and revolutionary short vertical paper path, the Color imageRUNNER LBP5460 delivers fast first-printout times and high-quality, letter-sized output speeds of up to 31 pages-per-minute in color and black-and-white, while maintaining a compact footprint.
“Not only is the new Color imageRUNNER LBP5460 an ideal, single-function solution for nearly every corporate environment and budget, the new user interface makes document printing easier than ever for the end-users,” said Sam Yoshida, vice president and general manager, Imaging Systems Group, Canon U.S.A. “Additionally, this new, compact imageRUNNER LBP can easily integrate into an existing imageRUNNER fleet infrastructure, helping to provide administrators with the ability to track total device output and consistent device management.”
To help optimize productivity for customers and end-users, the Color imageRUNNER LBP5460 features a new, remarkable five-line LCD user interface (UI), and standard remote UI utility which enables users to check the units status, track current job progress, monitor paper and toner levels and administer mail boxes of stored documents saved on the system. To help minimize downtime, the Canon LBP5460 includes a new front-loading, all-in-one cartridge and new HTML-based documentation to locate answers to maintenance questions more quickly. In addition, administrators can easily utilize management tools such as imageWARE Accounting Manager and imageWARE Enterprise Management Console to seamlessly integrate consistent device management within an imageRUNNER MFP infrastructure.
Realizing business environments always require advanced workflow support and improved document processing in a compact imaging system, the Color imageRUNNER LBP5460 comes standard with support for UFR II, PCL and PostScript 3 emulation. With optional features that include Canons Wireless LAN Kit – the latest in wireless technology – bar code printing, and support for IPv6/SNMPv3 protocol, the new Color imageRUNNER LBP5460 is not only ideal for business environments seeking a compact laser solution, but it can also meet the advanced application requirements of industries such as education and healthcare.
The Color imageRUNNER LBP5460 is an ENERGY-STAR Qualified digital imaging system that draws as little as 1.8W of power in Deep Sleep Mode for optimal efficiency. Its RAPID fusing system reduces warm-up time for first prints, thus reducing overall energy consumption and the all-in-one cartridge not only eliminates additional waste items, but is also eligible for Canons cartridge recycle program.
The Canon Color imageRUNNER LBP5460 is scheduled to be available later this month through Canon authorized dealers and Canon Business Solutions at a manufacturers suggested retail price of $1,350.
