I. Product Overview, Configuration, and Accessories
A. Overview
The Color imageRUNNER C3380/C2880 Series are multifunctional machines
that allow end-users to output color and black-and-white (B&W) documents at
print speeds of up to 30-ppm (Color) and up to 33-ppm (B&W) for the Color
imageRUNNER C3380 and up to 26-ppm (Color) and up to 28-ppm (B&W) for
the Color imageRUNNER C2880. Two versions of the Color imageRUNNER
C3380/C2880 Series devices are available–an "i" model and "Base" model.
The "i" model, designed for general office environments, is pre-configured with
features that provide out-of-the-box business productivity. The "Base" model is
configurable and offers a choice of options. Each model includes Canon's
UFRII (Ultra Fast Rendering) print controller standard.
These machines are positioned for users who primarily output color
documents that can be classified as business color usage (also called office
color or presentation color). Business color is often characterized as color
used in typical business output such as pie charts, color slides, and highlights
from applications like Microsoft Word, Excel, or PowerPoint. The Color
imageRUNNER C3380/C2880 Series output expectations should not be
compared to that of high end graphic devices.
This Color imageRUNNER C3380/C2880 Series offers MEAP (Multifunctional
Embedded Application Platform) for the ability to embed diverse and
customizable applications directly into the Color imageRUNNER supporting
unique user workflows.
Canon's proprietary Color Universal Send technology is standard on all
models in this Series. The Color Universal Send feature enables the end-user
to distribute scanned data to multiple destinations simultaneously, including
individuals or groups of e-mail and Fax/Internet- Fax addresses, internal Mail
Boxes, network or host files and folders, and to document management
applications such as the Canon imageWARE Document Manager.
Universal Send PDF Advanced Features (standard on the "i" models) provide
additional functionality such as PDF High Compression, Trace & Smooth PDF,
and Searchable PDF. The Universal Send Security Feature Set includes the
ability to encrypt PDF documents and have a Device Signature Mode (also
standard on the "i" models).
Color Universal Send supports the Web-based Distributed Authoring and
Versioning (WebDAV) protocol, enabling the Color imageRUNNER to securely
send documents to a shared storage service over the Internet.
The Color imageRUNNER C3380/C2880 Series offers the option to add a
single- or multi-line Super G3 fax module to further extend the capabilities of
Color Universal Send.
