Canon printers and scanners bagged six ‘Outstanding’ achievement’ at BLI’s Summer 2010 Pick Awards. The devices recognized by testing and research organisation, Buyers Laboratory Inc. (BLI) include the imageFormula, imageRunner, imageRunner Advance and i-Sensys models.
Four Canon devices earned five-star ratings for energy efficiency in BLI’s Environmental Test Reports: Canon imageRunner Advance C5035i in the A3 Colour MFP category; Canon i-Sensys MF8350Cdn in the Personal/Small Workgroup Colour Multifunction Printer category; Canon i-Sensys MF6680dn in the Personal/Small Workgroup Monochrome Multifunction Printer category; and Canon iR3245N in the A3 Monochrome MFP category.
Canon also received two ‘Outstanding Achievement’ awards within the scanner category for Canon imageFormula P-150 portable scanner and Canon’s CaptureOnTouch document scanning software.
“For many consumers today, energy efficiency is just as important as productivity and reliability,” said David Sweetnam, BLI’s European Research and Lab Manager. “The key factor in the imageRunnner Advance C5035i’s environmental performance was its very low sleep-mode energy usage, resulting in significant projected annual energy savings. This is further boosted by the model’s ability to come out of deep sleep mode to conduct a print job then drop immediately back into deep sleep mode after the job has been completed.”
Nicholas van Santen, B2B Marketing Manager, Canon Middle East commented, “Canon is committed to helping its business customers work more productively and with improved energy efficiency. To be recognised by BLI for six Summer Pick awards is a fantastic achievement that illustrates the real commitment of Canon to engergy efficient office products to help our customers consume less energy, thus saving money and improving their own environmental credentials.”
