BLI found the projected annual energy consumption and costs for the i-SENSYS MF8350Cdn were the lowest compared with models in its range. In addition, annual energy consumption for all four models was found to be significantly lower than the average based on BLI's real-world testing.
Nicholas van Santen, B2B Marketing Manager, Canon Middle EastCanon Middle East comments, "CanonCanon is committed to helping its business customers work more productively and with improved energy efficiency. To be recognised by BLI for six Summer Pick awards is a fantastic achievement that illustrates the real commitment of CanonCanon to engergy efficient office products to help our customers consume less energy, thus saving money and improving their own environmental credentials."
CanonCanon also received two 'Outstanding Achievement' awards within the scanner category for:
· CanonCanon imageFORMULA P-150 portable scanner
· CanonCanon's CaptureOnTouch document scanning software
The newly launched CanonCanon imageFORMULA P-150 portable scanner won the "Outstanding Mobile Scanner" "Pick" award. BLI noted its ease of use and ability to connect to any laptop or PC without installing additional software. It was also the fastest ever mobile scanner to be tested by BLI, making slow, single-sheet mobile scanning a thing of the past.
BLI Test Technician Joe Ellerman said, "The CanonCanon imageFORMULA P-150 is very easy to use and offers a smaller than average footprint than those of other ADF-equipped mobile scanners tested."
CanonCanon's CaptureOnTouch scanning software, bundled with the imageFORMULA P-150 and imageFORMULA DR-2020U, was also recognised by BLI for its simple design and intuitive layout. With the option to create a variety of frequently used scan profiles and the ability to quickly and easily switch profile settings while keeping the destination and file formats, the software helps users to begin scanning quickly and efficiently.
Lisa Reider, BLI's senior product editor for scanners and environmental, said, "The clean layout of CaptureOnTouch allows users to choose the buttons or the settings right from one tab without having to navigate through various programs or settings windows."
