When your business cannot function with a simple medium level multifunction center alone, a digital production system such as the high end Canon ImageRunner 600 should be considered. This corporate level machine delivers speed and consistency that personal units cannot match, such as a swift 60 pages per minute print speed, and 60 copies per minute as well. At one page every second with a low warm up time, the unit offers professional unrivaled professional quality.
Most machines slow down drastically when adjusted to print at high resolution, but not the Canon ImageRunner 600. Even when bumped up to hi res 1200 x 600 dots per inch, the unit still maintains 60 pages per minute. It can even utilize double sided duplex printing at this speed, meaning your double sided prints will not only save you paper and overall operating cost, they will also virtually double your total data output with no loss in speed.
An extensive list of convenient and powerful features includes a Scan Once, Print Many function which involves storing scanned data in the on board memory for multiple copy use, even with other jobs in between. Automatic page orientation rotates scanned images to match the proper orientation of the out coming page, while Smart Scan page recognition automatically recognizes page orientation based on text, meaning if one of your documents is upside down, it will reproduce in the Canon ImageRunner 600 right side up.
Copy Reservation also utilizes the on board memory, storing entire copy jobs while others are being processed and executed. When a saddle stitching hardware add on is implemented, the built in automatic page impositioning software can automatically position your input data in the correct order for publication, saving the user time on carefully ordering their pamphlets for print.
The Canon ImageRunner 600 comes with an easy to read LCD monitor that assists users in setting up a total of 100 confidential, personal mailboxes that allow individuals to manage their own data independently and keep it private as well. 100 on line forms can also be stored in the built in memory, and optional finishing hardware add ons can execute amazing finishing touches, including automatic stapling, three hole punching, saddle stitching, and Z folding.
Other additional hardware options include a 3,500 sheet paper deck which, on top of the unit’s standard dual 1,500 sheet front loading trays, and dual front loading cassettes of 550 sheets each, plus a 50 sheet bypass tray, brings the units total potential paper storage capacity to an impressive 7,650 sheets.
Oddly, the Canon ImageRunner 600’s warm up time is absolutely atrocious, clocking in at a sluggish five minutes. Once warmed up, however, the unit pulls off a rapid first print speed of six seconds when utilizing the 100 sheet automatic document feeder. Single pass copies will run a fraction of a second slower. Still, the overall speed and power of the unit is impressive in all categories. When an extremely high output machine is a must for your small to large scale office, the Canon ImageRunner 600 is hard to top for expandability, and performance.
