01732 759725 26 WHAT’S NEW Robust protection Building on its print security offering, Canon has launched new subscription security services designed to deliver end to end protection for businesses – helping to safeguard endpoint devices, documents and data. The new subscription security services which are available in two tiers – enhanced security and premium security – provide businesses with the foundations for managing and securing their print device fleets. This includes robust device hardening to ensure all print and scan devices on the network are protected under a unified security policy; automated firmware updates to ensure devices are always running the latest software, with patches applied to mitigate against any potential vulnerabilities, minimising the need for manual updates; data backup, and secure data destruction. The premium security offering delivers advanced capabilities tailored for organisations with larger device networks, enabling proactive security management through continuous monitoring and optimisation. Businesses benefit from enhanced real-time threat detection where security issues are flagged as they occur, enabling quick reaction and the ability to implement the necessary safeguards; rapid recovery capabilities to allow for fast restoration of compromised devices, and detailed security insights. The subscription security services seamlessly integrate with the security features in Canon’s existing cloud solutions, such as Cloud Connector and uniFLOW Online. Quentyn Taylor, Director of Information Security at Canon Europe said: “As security risks evolve and regulation tightens, businesses need a simpler, more effective way to protect their print fleet. With Canon’s subscription security services, we’re providing comprehensive security capabilities, removing the complexity of device protection so businesses can feel confident they’re receiving the right expertise and best-in-class security – regardless of their fleet size.” www.canon.co.uk Xerox updates production print offering Xerox has announced updates to the Xerox PrimeLink B9100 Production Press Series and FreeFlow Workflow Software. The latest updates to the PrimeLink B9100 Series include new optional dual two-tray oversized high-capacity feeders - available in both standard and vacuum feed models - that boost production efficiency by reducing paper loading and minimising idle time. A software upgrade to the Xerox EX B9100 Series Print Server powered by Fiery adds support for Intelligent Printer Data Stream, enabling secure and reliable transactional printing. Additionally, an optional Job Vitals Light provides instant, 360-degree at-a-glance job status updates visible from across the production floor. Xerox FreeFlow Workflow Software updates include Xerox FreeFlow Core - the PowerSplit Accelerator in FreeFlow Core intelligently splits large or complex jobs for parallel processing, reducing bottlenecks, improving throughput and enhancing overall workflow efficiency and FreeFlow Vision Connect now offers customisable data reports, new metrics for measuring overall equipment effectiveness, expanded predictive monitoring across more devices, and advanced capabilities to transform data into interactive, visually immersive insights and analysis. “These new capabilities help clients take on complex production challenges while delivering real-time visibility and smarter performance,” said Terry Antinora, Senior Vice President and Head of Product and Engineering at Xerox. “By evolving our production and workflow solutions and celebrating creative achievement, we are positioning Xerox at the forefront of the next generation of print innovation.” www.xerox.co.uk RFID functionality TSC Auto ID’s MB241 industrial label printer now includes RFID scalable functionality. Existing customers can add the new functionality with an RFID upgrade kit, and for new deployments, the MB241 will come with RFID functionality pre-installed. The MB241 can process standard RFID labels, on-metal labels up to 1.65mm thick, and numerous speciality tags, making it suitable for diverse needs across multiple sectors. TSC Auto ID’s free UniPRT SDK will also enable smooth and rapid integration into legacy systems, streamlining implementation. Operational efficiency has also been improved with MB241’s RFID functionality: Encode during print capability simultaneously encodes while printing thereby boosting throughput; any faulty tags are automatically identified and reprinted thus preventing them entering circulation; and auto-calibration and an intuitive user interface make daily operations effortless and reduce both downtime and training needs. Bob Vines, TSC Auto ID’s Country Manager for the UK, Ireland and the Nordics said: “We actively collaborate with industry-leading bodies like GS1, AIM, ISO, and the RAIN Alliance to ensure our RFID solutions align with global standards and evolving industry needs. We also continue to validate RFID chips, inlays, and tags from major manufacturers at our printer and label validation lab. This ensures that not only will our MB241 Series handle the growing variety of labels on the market but so too will all our other RFID printers.” www.tscprinters.com 4G Wi-Fi 6 Hotspot D-Link’s latest 4G Wi-Fi 6 Mobile Hotspot, the DWR-932Whas been built to deliver powerful and secure mobile internet connectivity whether users are at home, in the office or on the road.
