Concept

Purpose: This Subject aims to provide learners with the knowledge of the background and purposes of the development of the Copier.

“Establish a differentiated position in the copier industry to boost our share in the monochrome copier market.”

In recent years, we have been facing increasingly fierce competition especially with Ricoh and Xerox in the monochrome copier market. In particular, since the middle-speed monochrome copier market accounts for half the entire monochrome copier market, it is critical for us to gain predominance over competitors in the middle-speed copier market in expanding our market share.

Cannon released iR2200 Series (iR2200, iR2800 and iR3300), monochrome paper copier models, in 2001 to increase its share in the monochrome middle-speed copier market. Now, Cannon intends to further boost its monochrome middle-speed copier market share by launching new copy machines that have been created through improving iR2200, iR2800 and iR3300 models with higher performance and competitive advantages. It also plans to introduce iR models into the 40-sheet copier market for the first time in order to gain more market share in that market.

Product Features

1. Space-saving machine

Since Finisher S-1, an option, can be connected onto a delivery tray, it is possible to use the finisher without expanding the footprint of the main body.

2. Accelarated FCOT

Portrait-oriented delivery has enabled the acceleration of First Copy Out Time (FCOT).

- 5.8 seconds(iR2200/3300) 3.9 seconds (iR3570/4570)

3. Introduction of a high-speed on-demand fixing device

Adopting an on-demand fixing device has enabled energy conservation as well as reduction of start-up time.  Applying the on-demand fixing device to the 40-sheet copier has achieved energy saving and shortened start-up time also in the high-speed printer.

4. Energy conservation

Adopting the Sleep function in the Copier has enabled low-power-consumption during standby.

The Copier is capable of keeping power consumption at 1W or less by minimizing power supplied during Sleep even when each optional device (DADF or FAX) is installed.

5. Various feeding/delivery accessories

The Copier is capable of paper feeding in quantity by adding the feeding option.

The delivery option will also enable the expansion of a copy tray as well as diversified deliveries.

∙ Paper stock capability: 1,150 sheets to a maximum of 4,750 sheets (80g/m²)

∙ Copy tray: one tray to up to three

∙ Stapler function

∙ Punching function

∙ Book making function

　

6. Improvement of usability

Introduction of a cartridge-type toner bottle has enabled a user to supply a toner without spotting his/her hands.

7. Identical engine available for ,multiple print-speed segments

Canon has succeeded in making an identical engine support four print-speed segments of the Copier: 22ppm, 28ppm, 35ppm and 45ppm.

The differences of print speed among these segments have been achieved through changing process speeds and paper intervals.
