The Canon PIXMA MX882, MX420 and MX410 Wireless Office All-In-One (AIO) printers help make daily office tasks more convenient by printing from almost anywhere1. Whether working in the office, kitchen area or outside enjoying a sunny day, printing a presentation to be shared with business partners or the annual family holiday card can be seamlessly accomplished. In addition, each of these Wireless AIO models are 802.11n Wi-Fi certified allowing for a faster network performance. For the business owner who does not need the wireless option, the Canon PIXMA MX360 Office AIO model, also announced today, is a viable option with its wide array of features.
Canon recognizes the needs of small businesses to have a desktop printer that prints spreadsheets or ledger-sized documents in addition to high-quality photos as large as 13” x 19”. The Canon PIXMA iX6520 Inkjet Business printer has a compact design allowing this new model to be used on standard-sized desktops along with a computer.
“The addition of these new PIXMA models further solidifies Canon’s objective to provide end-users with a variety of options when making the decision to purchase a new office printer,” stated Yuichi Ishizuka, executive vice president and general manager, Consumer Imaging Group, Canon U.S.A. “When it comes to providing professional quality documents for important meetings or superb image quality on your personal photos, these new PIXMA models are up to the task.”
Innovative Technology
Each of the new Canon PIXMA Office printers come equipped with superb technology such as Auto Document Fix which simultaneously helps deliver easy-to-view scan results for easy sharing and repurposing while sharpening and blackening document text to increase readability. Helping to reduce overall paper consumption is the Easy-WebPrint EX software which helps make printing documents from the internet amazingly simple.
Helping to turn the home office into a family room is the inclusion of Full HD Movie Print2, which was introduced in mid-2010 with the Canon PIXMA Photo AIO printers. When using compatible Canon EOS and PowerShot HD Digital cameras, consumers can print individual frames of movies captured from scenes such as a child’s laugh or of a special holiday celebration which can be shared for years to come.
Canon has addressed the growing need to unlock memories from mobile devices with the free Easy-Photo Print application allowing images to be printed quickly and shared with friends and family. In the past, these memories would be trapped in the phone only to be shared when having the device in hand. Now, the opportunity is there for users of Android™ equipped mobile phones to unlock these moments with the Canon Easy-Photo Print for Android application available for download for free on the Android Market. For Apple iPod touch®, iPad®, and select iPhone® mobile device users, the Canon Easy-PhotoPrint for iPhone (iEPP) application9 is available for free on the App Store.SM
