The Canon iR C1021i offers high-quality A4 colour printing for corporate and SME workgroups

New, compact device provides printing that is friendly to the environment and that contributes to a business's bottom line

Collaboration tools allow workgroups to efficiently share files, boosting worker productivity

Dubai, UAE, 6 November, 2008: Canon, the world leader in imaging solutions, has today launched the Canon iR C1021i, a new A4 colour multifunctional device for workgroups in corporate and small to medium-sized offices.

Enabling users to print, copy, scan and distribute documents in black-and-white and colour, the Canon iR C1021i is a powerful, yet compact device providing high-quality imaging for small workgroups and corporate environments.

The Canon iR C1021i produces crisp text and superior colours, with high quality print output of 2,400 equivalent x 600dpi. The new device helps to boost efficiency and time-saving in the office with fast print speeds of 21 pages per minute in both black-and-white and colour. A sturdy document feeder and a paper supply of up to 850 sheets ensures sizeable print runs can be comfortably accommodated. A large 3.5 inch colour User Interface with an Easy-scroll wheel allows effortless control at all times.

The device offers effective cost control with innovative features such as Auto Colour Sensing technology, which detects pages within a document that contain colour. This allows users to keep costs down by printing in black-and-white as standard, and only printing in colour when it is detected.

The Canon iR C1021i offers powerful options for sharing files, which are designed to enhance collaboration in the office. The Canon iSend facility, which comes as standard, allows users to share information quickly and easily either by sending files directly by e-mail or fax or alternatively by saving to USB, the desktop, FTP or file server.

The new device can be easily configured with uniFLOW Output Manager, which offers advanced document management, features such as Secure Printing through user-authentication for print output, and cost control through Print Accounting that enables companies to track usage and costs of the printer.

Nicholas van Santen, Business Solutions Marketing Manager, Canon Middle East said: "The iR C1021i provides our customers with a super high quality colour A4 multi functional option at a highly competitive price.

"It brings not only the quality, usability and reliability that Canon is world famous for, it also helps keep costs down with record breaking power saving technology. When on standby, it uses just 1.2 watts - a first among printers in this segment .The iR C1021i offers a range of features that not only benefit a company's bottom line, but are environmentally friendly at the same time."

The iR C1021i is available now from Canon partners across the Middle East.
