The high speed capabilities of the iRC3380i give you perfect high-quality colour prints, quickly, every time. Canon's pioneering 4-drum laser engine means that heavier stock can be colour printed easily. And the new QF toner ensures a more uniform distribution of colour onto the page, giving you a perfect matt finish.

With finishing features including folding, back and front covers and hole punch, it's quick, easy and cost-effective to create a variety of full finished reports and other professional documents from your office. Plus, the iWPM software enhances productivity further. When you want to create a report combining information from different files such as Word or Excel, iWPM lets you carry out the collation effortlessly and electronically at your desktop, prior to printing a completed version, instead of spending valuable time printing and then manually collating.

With Canon's multifunctional printers you can scan black & white or colour documents fast with high-quality results: 44 images per minute (ipm) for scanning A4 at 300dpi. Then, with Canon's Universal Send technology, you simply distribute them to multiple network destinations in one easy operation. Alternatively, add eCopy document distribution software and users can send hardcopy documents electronically straight from the multifunctional printer to file, e-mail, ftp site or directly into a document management system - saving you time and effort. Maximise productivity Colour file compression, such as that available through PDF high compression mode, stops network congestion and keeps network traffic at a minimum, helping users to continue working even when a large file is being printed.

Whether you're printing in colour or black & white, the iRC3380i makes managing your print budget easier than ever, thanks to a wide range of tools, including features which enable you to control user access and privileges to the device. The iRC3380i also offers Auto Colour Sensing (ACS). This intelligently detects which pages within a document contain colour, and automatically switches the output from colour to black & white as required, helping fix the price per page. By having a fixed price per page, you only pay for colour when it is used.

Canon's Department ID and the optional iWAM MEAP software detail who prints what, where and when. You can control the amount of colour used, setting individual or departmental quotas, by managing password access to the smart colour capability.

iW Management Console (iWMC) is a web-based utility that facilitates centralised management of networked devices. This standard feature enables remote management of device settings, discovery of new devices using automated tasks, and device error notifications via email regarding low toner and device maintenance problems so they can be dealt with easily and quickly, ensuring minimal downtime. It also allows administrators to easily replicate settings and address books across multiple devices. Canon's unique e-Maintenance system automatically reports any problems to Canon service centres and Canon partners, so you don't need to worry about constant monitoring.

Canon's top-level security features offer great options, including department, individual and simple device log on, ensuring documents are safely stored and remain confidential until you can print them. For maximum security, you can even conceal the job log history. The iRC3380i includes features to help you guard against unauthorised access to the device and its data. In addition to user authentication, it can also restrict access by network or IP/MAC address. With Canon's printer security option, data on the device hard drive can be secured with 128-bit encryption technology and set to automatically overwrite traces of previously stored data. The iRC3380i and the HDD Data Encryption Kit containing the Canon MFP Security Chip 1.00, qualify for EAL3 status under the Common Criteria Program. The Common Criteria Program, also known as ISO 15408, is the recognised global standard for information technology security evaluations and defines security requirements and establishes procedures for evaluating IT security.
