The new iR3100C Multi Functional Printer from Canon adds something very special to the black and white office environment. As a space saving printer, copier, scanner and optional fax, it offers you easy creation, improved productivity and fast distribution of electronic or paper documents. As an intelligent digital device, it can improve your network communications, give documents a professional finish and help you save money through cost control.

Once linked to your network the iR 3100C is an intelligent device so that you can send black & white and colour documents to many destinations in a single operation. Once scanned in, they can be distributed to wherever they are needed - individual e-mail addresses, a specific database or to a file server for storage. And with Canon's unique colour scan file compression, you can be sure that even large colour files won't congest your network.

Canon's ID management technology offers excellent control. You can set colour and volume quantity limits for all the different users via their individual passwords and stop the unauthorised usage that could result in high costs. Unusually for a MFP with colour capability, the iR 3100C defaults to black & white unless colour is selected, to avoid colour printing charges when you don't need them. Using further software such as Canon Netspot Accountant and Document Accounting Intelligence, you can attribute client costs and manage your budget more easily.

The iR 3100C gives you more options than you ever imagined in black & white. Create high quality documents mixing colour and black & white without outsourcing them. Do it swiftly at 31ppm in black & white and 7ppm in colour (A4 - single sided), with double siding as standard. Do it without interruption, using the optional paper decks that give you up to 4,750 sheets of continuous output and a variety of media sizes and weights.

Why struggle to put together complex documents to beat tight deadlines? With Canon's new iW Publishing Manager software, you can bring documents together from different Windows-based applications electronically as a single iWPM document.
