WHAT'S NEW 51 PRINTITRESELLER.UK 27 Plug and play scanner Canon has announced the launch of its imageFORMULA R30 document scanner. The device has a fast set up time, allowing users to plug and play in less than 60 seconds and is best suited for home offices and small businesses.

The scanner also includes a wide range of functions and has the ability to handle documents in a variety of sizes – including business cards, invoices, photos, and records. For extra productivity, there is also no need to separate these document types as the device can batch scan doublesided 60 sheets of mixed documents. The scanner also includes automatic enhancement features which detect size and colour, de-skew, and correct orientation, helping to save time and ensure quality without the need to constantly adjust settings. Equipped with built in CaptureOnTouch Lite software, documents can also easily be converted into a range of file formats including PDF, TIFF, JPEG, and PNG – as well as being searchable using key words. For minimised environmental impact, the new model consumes less than 10W of electricity during operation and is packaged in reusable materials such as paper and biodegradable plastic, with no polystyrene. Its low weight of less than 3KG also allows for efficient transport and for carbon emissions to be reduced. www.canon.co.uk Canon enhances workspace print offering Canon has refreshed its range of imageRUNNER and imageRUNNER ADVANCE DX multifunction and single function devices.

The portfolio refresh has resulted in reduced environmental impact – including a reduction of TEC values of up to 16% compared to previous models. Devices and parts have also been designed to last longer - helping customers maximise uptime, while reducing service visits and impact on the environment. Additionally, the polystyrene packaging previously used has been reduced and replaced with recyclable cardboard to limit singleuse waste. The updated imageRUNNER and imageRUNNER ADVANCE DX printers also offer customers device, data and network protection for security at every stage of the document lifecycle. The latest security firmware delivers end-to-end protection, all devices in the updated portfolio include two-factor authentication, in addition to incorporating stricter password rules for added protection and encrypted file sharing, featuring TLS1.3, WPA3 & SMB 3.1.1 support. The imageRUNNER ADVANCE DX products are also armed with FIPS 140-3* for certified encryption performance. www.canon.co.uk Alternative hosting tool PAE Business has launched the AR Data Box – an alternative hosting tool for the Printanista Hub print device management solution. The AR Data box provides patented technology to enable copiers and printers to always report meters, toner levels or error codes by utilising a dedicated relay box and eliminating issues relating to offline sites or machines. AR Data is designed to be an alternative hosting tool which allows for a constant connection between the customer’s network infrastructure and the Printanista Hub Cloud Service. Removing the traditional issues and disruptions associated with installing the Data Collection Agent onto a server, PC, or laptop which could be subject to accidental uninstallation. loss of power, or removal of the host machine from the end-user’s network. The company says the introduction of the AR Data Box is a major step toward a low cost, maintenance-free DCA host. The box comes pre-configured ready for deployment and with an easy-to-use web interface, it’s also small enough to hide away inside an MFD and once up and running, can be put into anti-tamper mode to avoid unwanted configuration changes onsite, further minimising the potential for failure. www.paebusiness.com Enhanced connectivity features Sharp’s new business workgroup A4 colour MFPs – the MX-C528F and MX-C428F offer speeds of up to 50 ppm.
