Canon unveils imageRunner 2500 Series

The imageRunner2500 Series further enhances worker productivity with fast scanning available in both black-and-white and color. The imageRunner2545/2545i/2535/2535i and imageRunner 2530/2525 models boast letter-sized scanning at speeds up to 45/34 images-per-minute (ipm) (black-and-white/Color, 300 dpi) and 35/25ipm (black-and-white/color, 300 dpi) respectively, using Canon’s simple Color Send technology for fast document distribution. With the ability to scan documents into a range of file formats via email and fax, as well as to FTP and SMB file servers, the imageRunner 2500 Series easily works with end-user’s document distribution and capture workflows.

Standard on all Canon imageRunner 2500 Series models is an intuitive, vibrant and easy-to-use 5.7-inch LCD panel designed to improve operability and usability. In addition, all imageRunner 2500 models feature dual 550-sheet capacity cassettes and a 100-sheet bypass tray each handling up to 11” X 17” media, UFR II LT printing, 512MB RAM, 10/100 Base TX Ethernet connectivity, a single USB-Host port and color-scanning capabilities. An optional dual 550-sheet cassette can be added for a maximum paper capacity of 2,300 sheets, which coupled with a standard automatic paper-size detection feed, provides end-users the peace-of-mind to send complex print jobs to the device without extensive supply monitoring. Large toner capacities and on-the-fly replenishment capabilities further improve both worker productivity and system uptime.

For workgroups that need the productivity gains delivered by more advanced features, the imageRunner 2545 and 2535 systems are also available in “i” model configurations. In addition to the base features, the “i” models also include PCL and PostScript (emulated) printing, Color Send, including PDF High Compression technology for responsible network management, and Searchable PDF capability to better leverage scanned information with PC and back-end applications. All models can be equipped with an optional internal finisher to deliver convenient productivity of multi-position stapling in a compact and space-saving form.

The imageRunner 2545, 2545i, 2535, 2535i, 2530 and 2525 are scheduled to be available for shipping in early April, 2010, with a manufacturer’s suggested retail price of $9,000, $9,950, $7,000, $7,950, $5,200 and $3,500, respectively.
