Output that Speaks Volumes
The imageRUNNER 85’s extensive finish- ing capabilities are what really set it apart from its competitors in the printer market. Three optional finishers are available, all of which are designed to enhance pro- ductivity and limit the number of steps required to complete print jobs.
The imageRUNNER 85’s optional Finisher- K1N and Finisher-K2N offer two trays to manage output from statement to 11” x 17.” Up to 3,000 sheets can be accommo- dated, enough to effectively handle even the longest print runs. Additionally, both finishers can staple up to 100 sheets in any corner of the page, or place two sta- ples in either the left- or right-hand mar- gin. The Finisher-K2N also offers hole- punching in addition to stapling. Output can be automatically two- or three-hole punched, depending on paper size and orientation.
For more extensive finishing require- ments, the Saddle Finisher-K3N is another available option. Like the Finisher-K1N and Finisher-K2N, the Saddle Finisher- K3N holds a maximum of 3,000 sheets in two trays. It offers 100-sheet single- and double-position stapling, two- and three- hole punching, as well as saddle-stitched booklet-making as standard. The Saddle Finisher-K3N can also be equipped with the optional Document Insertion Unit-B1, Paper Folding Unit-C1, and Booklet Trimmer-A1. The Document Insertion Unit- B1 allows preprinted stock to be merged with finished documents post-process. The Paper Folding Unit-C1 z-folds 11” x 17” documents so that they fit neatly within letter-sized output. And the Booklet Trimmer-A1 cleans up finished edges of saddle-stitched output.
Connectivity Without Complications
The imageRUNNER 85 offers two ways to connect to the network—the Canon- designed Network Multi-PDL Printer Kit-B3 and the imagePASS-M1 Print Controller, jointly developed by Canon and Electronics For Imaging (EFI™). Both solutions enable 600 x 2400 dpi interpo- lated print resolution, and allow users to program imageRUNNER 85 system capa- bilities right from their desktops.
Canon’s Network Multi-PDL Printer Kit-B3 leverages the standard 250MHz processor built into each imageRUNNER 85 model. Using this Canon-customized processor, the Network Multi-PDL Printer Kit-B3 is best suited for text-intensive, everyday printing needs where PCL page descrip- tion language makes up the bulk of jobs that are sent to the printer.
Canon’s imagePASS-M1 Print Controller features an Intel® Mobile Pentium® III 500MHz processor and is designed to meet the needs of customers printing true Adobe® PostScript® files, complex graphics, and variable data output, as well as to support EFI utilities such as Fiery® FreeForm.™
Both solutions have been designed to integrate seamlessly with a customer’s existing network infrastructure, and come with a full suite of system utilities to sim- plify device installation and management.
Point-and-click Operation
One of the reasons why Canon is the leading provider of network-connected systems in the market today is because of its intuitive printer driver software. imageRUNNER 85 users will find that Canon’s graphical printer driver software is extremely easy to use, even if they have no prior experience using a network con- nected device. Through the printer driver software, users have immediate access to
