Dubai, UAE, 13 May, 2009: Canon Middle East expands its range of Personal Digital Copiers with the launch of a new flagship: the PC-D450. With over 10 million Canon Personal Copiers already sold, the PC-D450 inherits generations of Canon copier know-how. Featuring double-sided copying as standard, copy speeds of 22 cpm, and a First Copy Out Time (FCOT) of 9 seconds or less, the PC-D450 delivers market-leading performance. Its versatile copying functions are complemented by additional multifunctional capabilities - including double-sided scanning and printing.
"The new PC-D450 is ideal for use in personal and small offices that frequently copy," said Bittu Mattam, Product Manager, Canon Middle East. "Its auto duplex features make it perfect for handling the increasing amount of double-sided documents found in the workplace."
Key features:
- Compact, space-saving design
- Fast copy speed: up to 22 cpm (A4)
- FCOT of 9 seconds or less
- 50-sheet Duplex ADF (Automatic Document Feeder)
- Automatic double-sided copying, printing and scanning
- No warm-up time with On-Demand fixing
- Energy efficient: only 3 watts power consumption in Sleep mode
- ID card copy, 2-on-1 copy, 50%-200% zoom and electronic collation
- Canon All-in-One cartridge for maintenance-free operation
Increased productivity: automatic double-sided copying
Double-sided documents are increasingly common in today's workplace. To meet the needs of small businesses and offices who frequently have to reproduce both sides of an original, the new PC-D450 features a productive 50-sheet Duplex ADF and duplex print engine, providing rapid copying of multiple two-sided originals at up to 22 cpm. Double-sided printing also saves on paper and significantly reduces wastage.
A range of dedicated copy features are available through the user-friendly interface panel. These include reduce and enlarge, 2-on-1 copy, electronic collation and Canon's new ID Card Copy function (useful for tourism and official purposes), which copies both sides of an ID card or similar small document onto a single side.
Desktop design
Perfect for small workplaces, the compact PC-D450 is significantly slimmer than competitor models. Even with its Duplex ADF and print engine, it measures just 390 x 442 x 363 mm (W x D x H).
Time-saving and energy-efficient technologies
Canon's On-Demand fixing technology means that waiting in front of a copier is a thing of the past: warm-up from Sleep mode is instantaneous and the FCOT is 9 seconds or less. The PC-D450 is designed to be extremely energy efficient, consuming only 3 watts in Sleep mode. It is also Energy Star certified and has one of the best TEC (Typical Electricity Consumption) ratings - 0.918 kWh/week - in its class.[1]
The extras - real multifunctional capability
In addition to productive copying capabilities, the PC-D450 offers users double-sided printing as well as double-sided colour scanning. A print resolution of up to 1200dpi produces professional-looking documents with sharp text and fine graphics, at up to 22 ppm. High-quality colour scans are captured at resolutions up to 9600dpi and users also have the option of creating searchable PDF files.
All-in-One cartridge
Easy-to-use and easy-to-maintain, Canon's All-in-One cartridge system incorporates toner, drum and cleaning unit in a single consumable - with each new cartridge, all key parts of the printer are renewed, guaranteeing continuous high-quality output. All-in-One cartridges are fully recyclable via Canon's own Cartridge Recycling Programme.
