Canon Desktop Copiers imageCLASS MF6500 Series Laser Multifunction Copiers Offering Four New Desktop Solutions for Small and Home Offices

What’s new from Canon Inc? Yes, of course this is a fresh brand new Canon Desktop Copiers series that expanded by March 3, 2008. Canon Inc as a leader in document imaging and office solutions today enlarged its imageCLASS MF6500 Series, presenting four brand new black-and-white multifunction Canon desktop copiers to the market. Helping replace the cost and complexities of managing multiple office devices, the new imageCLASS MF6540, MF6590, MF6595 and MF6595cx devices provide smaller offices to make true copy, print, fax and scan functionality and flexibility all in one machine. Is it simple enough?

Canon Desktop Copiers new imageCLASS models expand the Company's extensive laser multifunction portfolio and provide small and home offices with a range of options to take the right solution for their business. Moving from multiple single function devices to a single efficient multifunction laser platform device is inherently more beneficial in limited office-space environments. The new imageCLASS models provide a better use of space while also accommodating all the tasks previously performed by four or more machines.


The enlarged imageCLASS MF6500 Canon Desktop Copiers Series product offerings perform black-and-white laser printing at speeds of up to 24 pages-per-minute (ppm)i and copying output at 24 copies-per-minute (cpm). Crisp text and images can be produced at an enhanced print resolution of up to 1200 x 600 dpi. Customers can also complete a variety of scanning tasks at speeds up to 24 ppm monochrome for letter-sized output. Scans can also be achieved in color from either the platen glass or the automatic document feeder (ADF) with an interpolated resolution of up to 9600 dpi. The included OCR (optical character recognition) software and file managing software provides even more productivity. For the added benefit of fax capability, the imageCLASS MF6590, MF6595 and MF6595cx incorporate a 33.6 Kbps Super G3 fax. A strong list of fax features, including 23 one-touch speed dial numbers, 100 coded speed dial numbers and a 1,000-page memory capacity for the MF6590, MF6595 and MF6595cx models, PC Faxing, sequential broadcasting and activity reports make the new imageCLASS products ideal for customers requiring comprehensive faxing applications in a compact desktop product.

The imageCLASS MF6500 Canon Desktop Copiers series also incorporates the Canon Single Cartridge System, which combines the toner and drum in one easy-to-replace unit, resulting in excellent image quality retention and eliminating the complication and warehousing of separate toner and drum consumables.

A further measure of Canon's commitment to small office/home office customers is the inclusion of a one year limited warranty with on-site service.
