excellent choice for small enterprises with archival needs.
For SMB and Enterprise customers: imageCLASS
LBP171dn, LBP172dw, LBP811cx, LBP468x, LBP732cx, MF284dw, MF286dn, MF289dw
Specially designed to meet the
needs of small offices and workgroups in large enterprises, the all-new
imageCLASS laser printer lineup includes
two monochrome printers – the
imageCLASS LBP171dn and LBP172dw, three monochrome multifunction
laser printers – the imageCLASS MF284dw
(Print, Scan, Copy), MF286dn, and MF289dw (Print, Scan, Copy, Fax), as
well as two A3 printers- color imageCLASS LBP811cx and the
monochrome LBP468x and one high-end
color single-function A4 printer- LBP732cx. With an impressive minimum
print speed of 33 ppm, the printers are also designed with efficiency and
eco-friendliness in mind through features such as duplex printing and On-Demand
Fixing technology.
Sharing
his thoughts on the latest lineup, Mr. Toshiaki Nomura, President &

demands, we are excited to introduce a new lineup of 10 state-of-the-art
printers that combine higher print yields, robust security, and enhanced
maintenance control—all powered by cutting-edge technology. These innovations
not only simplify operations for users but also promote responsible printing practices,
aligning with our commitment to sustainability. With this launch, we aim to
empower businesses and individuals with tools that drive efficiency and value
in the evolving work landscape."
Speaking
about the new lineup, Mr. C Sukumaran, Senior Director, Product &
Communication at Canon India, said, “At Canon India, we are driven by a
strong commitment to innovation and quality, to which our new line-up of
printers stands as a testament. Adapting to today’s hybrid and digital work
environments across SOHOs, SMEs and enterprises, the new printers, are designed
to streamline workflows and maximize ROI. In line with our sustainability
goals, we have integrated features like automatic two-sided printing, low power
consumption, and high-yield consumables to reduce waste and lower operating
costs. Additionally, these printers come equipped with robust data security and
encryption, addressing the increasing need for secure, scalable solutions in
both small businesses and large enterprises. With this launch, we aim to
redefine the future of printing by providing cutting-edge, efficient, and
sustainable solutions that meet the evolving needs of businesses, while
promoting responsible printing practices.”
Cost Saving Solutions
Both
MegaTank models are designed to reduce printing costs by utilising high-yield
ink tanks that can print up to 6,000 pages[1]
for black-and-white documents and 7,700 pages1 for colour documents
on a bundled set of four ink bottles. In the Economy mode[2],
the printers can deliver up to 7,600 pages1 for black-and-white
documents and 8,100 pages1 for colour documents. The printers are compatible with the GI-71s low-cost ink bottles,
making them ideal for users with infrequent printing needs.
Easy Maintenance for Minimal
Downtime
With easily replaceable print
heads, the MegaTank G3780 and G4780 minimize downtime, allowing users to change
them independently without requiring technical support. Additionally, the
maintenance cartridges can be removed and replaced effortlessly, without the
need for complex tools, ensuring quick maintenance and enhancing overall
convenience and user-friendliness.
Boost Productivity and Streamline Efficiency
Equipped
with On-Demand Fixing technology, the laser printers heat up quickly and
deliver the first printout in just 5 seconds[3],
—an
essential feature for users who need to print only 2 to 3 pages at a time. For
larger tasks, they can print up to 33 pages per minute[4](A4 Mono) and up to 38 pages per minute (A4
Color) making them perfect for a busy office environment. Designed with both
efficiency and eco-friendliness in mind, all printers support two-sided
printing, reducing paper consumption and minimizing environmental impact.
The multifunction
imageCLASS MF280 series offers even more features to enhance office
productivity. In addition to flatbed scanning, these models include an auto
document feeder (ADF), allowing for seamless, multi-page document scanning.
With the imageCLASS MF286dn and MF289dw, scanned documents can be directly
uploaded to a shared folder or easily emailed to other users, simplifying
document management and promoting collaboration.
Intuitive Operation and Easy
Maintenance
The
imageCLASS LBP170 series and MF280 series feature a 5-line LCD or a 6-line[5] touchscreen LCD with a vari-angle
operation panel for improved visibility. Alert messages and step-by-step
instructions are displayed on the screen when simple troubleshooting is
required, making these printers easy to operate, manage, and maintain.
The
all-in-one toner cartridge design further simplifies the replacement process,
minimizing downtime while ensuring consistent print quality and easy upkeep. In
addition to the standard yield of up to 1,400 prints [6], users can choose a higher-yield option
of up to 4,100 prints4 helping to lower the cost per page and reduce the frequency of toner
cartridge replacements.
Seamless Connectivity and Enhanced
Security
The imageCLASS LBP172dw, LBP811cx, LBP468x, LBP732cx, MF284dw, and MF289dw
offer wireless connectivity, enhancing productivity and convenience by allowing
printing from multiple devices without the need for cables. These models also
feature TLS 1.3, IEEE 802.1X, and Verify System at Startup, providing IT administrators
with robust network security to safeguard against potential threats. Additionally,
users can print directly from their smart devices using compatible solutions such
as Canon PRINT, Canon Print Service, AirPrint®, and Mopria® Print Service.
Further, supported by the latest
WPA3 and TLS 1.3 standards, the inkjet printers’ Wi-Fi connectivity helps to
safeguard against data snooping and allows users to print securely from
distance. With the printers connected to
the Internet and registered with Canon cloud service, users can also print
documents wirelessly from their smart devices or scan them for storage in the
cloud via the Canon PRINT mobile app.

[3] First print out
time is measured based on internal test procedure and may vary. When the
printer is in the ready state, this is the time from receiving the print
instruction from the controller to printing one sheet and finishing paper
ejection.
[4] Print speed is
measured based on internal testing using A4/LTR size paper printed with 100%
print ratio to original on one-sided paper. Internal testing involved
continuously printing the same one page of content on plain paper. Print speed
may vary depending on paper type, paper size or paper feeding direction.
