The Canon copier iRC4580i is an intelligent, cost-effective multifunctional device, that brings the power of colour communication to your business, only slightly more than you would expect to pay for black and white printing. It gives you levels of management control, allowing you to oversee colour usage throughout your business.

Controllable colour - There are many ways that the irc4580i Colour can help you control colour. Auto-Colour Sensing means that the device detects whether or not a page, or pages within a document, contain colour or not, and then prints them accordingly. So when colour isn’t required, you don’t pay for it, simple! Just as if you were using a black and white device!

Security conscious - Canon ensures your business information is safe and secure. Access to the irc4580i Colour Photocopier can be controlled via passwords, your company’s network log-in procedure, or even fingerprints! Documents can be held in secure mailboxes, until the relevant user is ready to print. Scanned documents can also be encrypted before sending to others. For highly sensitive material, a secure watermark can be embedded into a printed document, becoming prominent when someone attempts to make a copy. Network authentication tools ensure that only authorised PC’s or Macs can communicate with the Canon irc4580i Colour Photocopier. Furthermore, device hard disks can be erased or encrypted, and “job logs” concealed.

Effortless IT management - The Canon irc4580i Colour Photocopier comes “network-ready”, so installing on your network is a simple task. iW Management Console (iWMC) is a web-based utility that facilitates centralised management of networked devices – ideal for busy IT departments. This standard feature enables remote management of device settings, discovery of new devices using automated tasks, and device error notifications via email.

Emails can indicate low toner, and device maintenance problems so they can be dealt with easily and quickly, ensuring minimal downtime. iWMC also allows administrators to replicate settings and address books across multiple devices. Canon’s unique e-Maintenance system automatically reports any problems, so there’s no need to worry about constant monitoring.

Performance printing - The Canon irc4580i Colour Photocopier is a fast and effective network printer. Optimised for extensive colour document creation, the Canon irc4580i Colour Photocopier prints and copies in colour at a swift 40 pages per minute (ppm). Printing supports industry standard PS/PCL, and Canon’s unique UFRII, enabling enhanced network processing speeds. Printing is carried out from the comfort of users' desktops via a simple-to-use interface. And a large colour touch-screen makes operation at the device equally simple.

Professional printing - The Canon irc4580i Colour Photocopier gives you the confidence to create the most professional-looking documents with little effort. It’s easy to produce stapled or hole-punched reports, eye-catching booklets and impactful customer proposals in colour, and on a variety of different media types. Canon’s iWPM software enhances productivity further. Normally, when you want to create a report combining information from different files such as Word or Excel, you need to print them first and then manually collate.

This takes time. iWPM lets you carry out the collation effortlessly and electronically at your desktop, prior to printing a completed version. Furthermore, Job Block Combination allows different types of documents, from A5 -SRA3 to be scanned/copied, and then combined using the touch-screen prompts. This electronic file can be easily manipulated and printed as a complete document.

Quality printing - Using Canon’s Spherical Toner, print quality is superb at 1200 dpi and prints look crisp and sharp from the first to the last. A matt finish means you can make notes directly on colour prints – ideal for PowerPoint handouts and when reviewing reports.

Powerful communication - The Canon irc4580i Colour Photocopier allows you to communicate far more efficiently. Documents are scanned at 70 images per minute (ipm) via the sturdy document feeder and can be instantly ‘dispatched’ as PDFs to a huge variety of locations - such as network folders, email addresses and mailboxes. If you wish to integrate with database applications use software such as Canons iWDM or eCopy. Don’t equate scanning with decreased legibility. Trace and Smooth technology can actually improve the clarity of scanned documents. Network speeds aren’t compromised either, as PDF’s are automatically compressed prior to being sent.

Mailboxes for added versatility - The Canon irc4580i Colour Photocopier has built-in mailboxes to aid versatility and confidentiality. Mailboxes act as secure storage at the device for all documents, and can be set up for individuals and groups of users. Any document can be scanned, sent to, or printed directly from a mailbox at your convenience – handy if you don’t want a confidential report lying around before you have had a chance to retrieve it - and you can also preview documents in your mailbox at the device before printing.

Professional finishing - With three trays and a 4,000 sheet capacity, the Finisher W1 provides effective report production. Alternatively if you want to create professional-looking documents with no more than a few simple mouse clicks, the Saddle Finisher W2 can produce A5 or A4 folded booklets. Add Canon's iWPM, and you can combine information from different files to create a staff magazine, or even your own company brochure!

Finished documents - Print or copy colour reports and then corner-staple them for a superb finish. Staple capacity is 50 sheets of A4 or 30 sheets of A3, with a capacity of 500 A3 sheets or 1,000 A4 - A5R in a single print run.

Document feeder/image reader - A 100 sheet document feeder helps cope with scanning and sizeable copy runs, accommodating documents with different sized pages. The image reader combined with Universal Send enables you to scan documents which can be sent instantly to email addresses, mailboxes and network folders.

Advanced technology - The Canon irc4580i Colour Photocopier aids efficiency. Print documents using both sides of the paper and you can reduce paper consumption and costs too. A sleep mode helps cuts down on power consumption when not in use. The device also adheres to the strictest environmental standards such as RoHS, which restricts the use of hazardous substances. Using MEAP (Multifunctional Embedded Application Platform), Canon’s Java based application platform, enables new and customised software to be incorporated directly within your device. This way you can future proof your investment. Configure the Canon irc4580i Colour Photocopier with the 2,700 sheet Paperdeck and you have a comprehensive paper supply of 5,000 sheets, equipped for the most demanding workloads.
