Dubai, UAE, 09 December 2010: Canon Middle East, world-leader in imaging solutions, announced today the launch of six new black-and-white i-SENSYS All-In-One models, the Canon i-SENSYS MF4400 and MF4500 series. With three models in each series, the devices offer some of the fastest and most cost effective MFPs available for personal and small workgroup settings.

"The i-SENSYS MF4400 and MF4500 series reflect Canon's commitment to delivering compact products that are quick and easy-to-use whilst delivering high performance. The models also bring value added features that ensure operation is efficient and cost-effective. The compact MFPs are a perfect solution for any small business looking for a stylish, easy-to-use All-In-One to help improve productivity and business processes," said Bittu Mattam, Product Manager, Canon Middle East                                             

The i-SENSYS MF4400 and MF4500 series offer a range of functionality across the models to meet users' different printing needs in busy office and home environments. The i-SENSYS MF4400 models are ideal in environments which can benefit from an easy-to-use black-and-white multifunctional device. The i-SENSYS MF4410 and i-SENSYS MF4430 offer print, copy and scan functionality and the i-SENSYS MF4450 adds fax capability. The i-SENSYS MF4430 and i-SENSYS MF4450 also feature Automatic Document Feeders (ADF), which saves the user time by allowing them to copy multiple originals at the same time.

Moving up through the devices, the i-SENSYS MF4500 models help small and home office users cut back on paper and print costs through value-added features including automatic double-sided printing. All of the i-SENSYS MF4500 series are designed with productivity in mind and include print, copy, scan and fax functionality. The i-SENSYS MF4570dn and i-SENSYS MF4580dn include Network capability, allowing small work groups the chance to share the device. The i-SENSYS MF4580dn also features a duplex ADF for double-sided scanning, copying and faxing.

Boasting very small footprints, the i-SENSYS MF4400 and MF4500 models combine compactness with stylish design to sit perfectly in any work or home office environment.  They are ideal for customers looking for quick and easy-to-use devices at a competitive price. Utilising the advantages of laser print technology, they produce a range of professional-looking black-and-white documents with crisp, clear text and images.

All of the models offer Canon's maintenance free All-In-One cartridges and simple scanning processes along with a new enhanced 5-line LCD display providing easier access to key information and features. Each series has a distinct style to reflect its use - the i-SENSYS MF4400 models have a sleek all black design to fit in with the home office, while the i-SENSYS MF4500 models' black-and-white styling makes them versatile and ideal for any environment including small and home offices.

Colour scanning is versatile and simple with the models, saving time and achieving great results. The scanned documents can be distributed via email, PDF, or other applications with the minimum of steps. In addition, network capability means the i-SENSYS MF4570dn and i-SENSYS MF4580dn can scan through the MF Toolbox allowing multiple workgroup users access to the quick scan function for increased productivity. 

Both series feature high-rated print speeds, with the i-SENSYS MF4400 models running at 23ppm and the i-SENSYS MF4500 models at 25ppm, and are designed to produce documents with improved detail and exceptional 1,200 x 600dpi enhanced resolution.

With one of the lowest Typical Energy Consumption (TEC)* ratings available, the devices offer low cost, energy efficient operation. Combined with a First Copy Out time of 9 seconds or less and Quick First Print technology that enables printing with the minimum warm up time, the new i-SENSYS models are among the most energy efficient laser products in their class.
