LAKE SUCCESS, N.Y., February 3, 2009 – Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leader in digital imaging, has announced two additions to the popular Office All-In-One (AIO) line-up - the PIXMA MX860 and PIXMA MX330 printers. Ideal for the small business operating out of the home, the versatility and overall ease-of-use of these two new Office AIO printers provide users with the comfort of knowing the finished product, whether it is a business presentation or a photo from a family vacation, will be of high-quality.  Canon PIXMA MX860 The Canon PIXMA MX860 Office AIO printer features Advanced Media Handling with Auto Duplex copying, printing and two-way paper feeding. The Auto Duplexing feature permits two-sided copying/scanning of letter-sized documents, without the need to manually turn over pages and re-feed the document. When copying, this printer even has the ability to scan and print at the same time, which can dramatically reduce the amount of time it will take to complete a project. For the first time, a PIXMA Office AIO printer, the PIXMA MX860, will have Wireless LAN (802.11b/g) capabilities and an Ethernet network connection built-in for easy printing and scanning with multiple personal computers. In conjunction with Canon's Generation Green initiative, both of these new Office AIO printers will have the Quick Start feature. The LCD changes from the start-up screen to the initial stand-by mode in a few seconds after pressing the power key, enabling input on the buttons to start operation.  Canon PIXMA MX860 The Canon PIXMA MX860 and PIXMA MX330 Office AIO printers feature the easy-to-use advanced copy function so common copy adjustments, such as erasing the frame created around a small scan, can be easily made right from the AIO printer control panel. The Auto Scan Mode automatically recognizes the type of document being worked on so it can be scanned and saved quickly and easily in the right format. In addition, scanned JPEG and PDF data can be saved directly to a memory card or a USB flash drive when attached to either of these printers.  Canon PIXMA MX330 Canon has equipped each unit with color Super G3 fax capabilities with improved speed and ease-of-use in mind. It includes features that allow users to receive up to 250 incoming pages in memory on the PIXMA MX860 Office AIO printer and 50 pages of incoming data in memory5 on the PIXMA MX330 Office AIO printers. There will be new security features on both Office AIO printers to help protect important documents. One feature is designed to prevent users from misdialing while faxing by asking for a confirmation of the fax number originally entered before the fax is sent. If these two numbers do not match, the fax will not go through. Another security feature is the ability to create PDF files with password protection which will restrict access to printing or editing files without the proper authority.  Canon PIXMA MX330 For the photo enthusiast who is looking for an Office AIO printer that can produce high-quality photos, both Office AIO printers are up to the task. Each printer comes equipped with the ChromaLife100 ink system, which provides more vibrant and longer-lasting photos. To further enhance the home office photo experience, the hybrid system, which is made up of dye and pigment ink, delivers vivid, beautiful photos on photo paper and sharp, crisp text on plain paper. The Auto Photo Fix feature detects the type of photo being printed and is able to help correct red-eye problems, enhance facial tones and optimize brightness and contrast while improving color saturation to provide better looking photo output without manual photo editing. PIXMA MX860 OFFICE ALL-IN-ONE PRINTER The PIXMA MX860 Office AIO printer comes with a large 2.5-inch TFT Color screen to make viewing images and menus easier. With a five-color individual ink tank system, a resolution of up to 9600 x 2400 color dpi and ink droplet sizes as low as one picoliter, this Office AIO printer can produce a photo-lab quality borderless 4" x 6" photo in approximately 41 seconds8. The CIS scanner allows for high-quality, high-speed scans as well with an optical resolution of up to 2400 dpi.  Canon PIXMA MX860 PIXMA MX330 OFFICE ALL-IN-ONE PRINTER For the consumer who is looking for a high-quality Office AIO printer at an affordable price, the PIXMA MX330 features a 1.8-inch TFT Color screen, four-color ink cartridge system with a maximum color resolution of 4800 x 2400 dpi7 and a minimum two-picoliter droplet size to deliver outstanding photo quality. A photo-lab quality borderless 4" x 6" photo can be produced in approximately 45 seconds.8 The CIS scanner produces a maximum of 1200 dpi9 opticalcolor resolution scans.  Canon PIXMA MX330 Canon Supports ISO/IEC 24734 and 24735 Productivity Standards Helping customers better evaluate and compare print speeds of various printer models, Canon will utilize the ISO/IEC 24734 and 24735 FDISS (Final Draft International Standards) for measuring print and copy speed. The proposed standards, which are in the final review stage under the FDIS (Final Draft International Standard) before official publication, measure print and copy output in images-per-minute (ipm), and calculate print and copy speed by printing out a number of standard Microsoft Excel, Word and PDF documents on letter-sized paper in default mode. Using these FDISS, the new PIXMA MX860 Office AIO printer will deliver output at 8.4 ipm for black-and-white documents and 5.6 ipm for color, while the PIXMA MX330 Office AIO printer will create letter-sized documents at 7.5 ipm for black-and-white and 4.5 ipm for color documents. Generation Green Canon's commitment to the environment and helping to make it more sustainable is an inherent part of the Company's kyosei philosophy and new product offerings. From duplex printing to ENERGY STAR® compliance and significant changes to product packaging, the Generation Green initiative is designed to provide partner companies, enterprise customers and consumers a way to identify and learn about the various environmentally-conscious product features and solutions select Canon printers offer.
