Improving Efficiency

You can send PDF/PS/EPS/JPEG/TIFF/XPS data from the Remote UI directly to the machine for printing. You can also print without a computer by connecting a USB memory device to the machine. There is no need to open files, so you do not need to start an application program. This is very convenient when you are in a hurry and do not have access to a computer.

The Remote UI allows you to manage the machine remotely from the computer at your desk. You can check the remaining amounts of paper and toner cartridge, and check the current status of print jobs to decide if you should temporarily interrupt print jobs to print urgent documents or move documents up among the jobs waiting to be printed. Save time and trouble by eliminating trips between your desk and the printer.

Everyone in the office uses the printer. If you register the most popular settings as the default settings, you can use them right away. You can also register frequently used combinations of print settings as "profiles." Then you can call up your favorite settings in a single operation, by selecting a profile instead of selecting each setting every time you print.

When you have a number of documents to print, it would be convenient to print them all with one operation. Canon PageComposer allows you to combine multiple documents and print them all at once. You can also save frequently printed documents like fax cover sheets in the machine's SD card, and then print them directly from the operation panel. You don't need to return to your computer and start the printer driver. These shortcuts save time and allow you to work more efficiently.

You need to print 1 page right away, but a 200-page document is printing and 5 other print jobs are waiting! At times like this, you can use the Interrupt Print function to have your page printed now without canceling the other jobs. When your page is finished, printing of the other print jobs resumes smoothly and automatically.

You can easily specify the page layout as well as binding position, switching between 1-sided and 2-sided printing, etc. intuitively on the preview image in the printer driver. The simple click-operation allows you to conveniently make settings while viewing how settings are applied.
