High-Quality, Vibrant Color
In a continued effort to deliver high-quality MFPs that offer a well-rounded suite of features, the imageRUNNER ADVANCE C3330i/C3325i models will feature the V2 Color profile. With vibrant color and sharp, well-defined images, output can have an impactful look and feel.

Outstanding Usability
The imageRUNNER ADVANCE C3330i/C3325i models user interface features a full-color, high-resolution TFT (thin film transistor) LCD screen. It has been improved from the previous model to offer a wide range of tilt positions and on-screen device management videos that provide step-by-step instructions to guide users through consumables replacement.
Advanced Finishing Options
A new internal finishing option offers stapling of up-to-50 sheets and a tray capacity of up-to-600 sheets through two standard trays. The Staple-Free Staple feature of the inner finisher binds up to four sheets of paper together without the use of metal staples. This allows for easy shredding, more efficient paper stacking, and uses fewer staples to help reduce waste. The finisher also incorporates a Staple On Demand feature to re-staple originals after copying/scanning, or to staple documents that were printed without the appropriate staple settings initially selected.
