The user interface on these iR ADV printers features an intuitive digital touchscreen panel that works with a single touch, making it extremely easy for anyone in your workplace to operate. You can rest assured that your devices are always secure too, with the optional addition of uniFLOW, Canon’s secure cloud-based solution, which adds another element of security, as your printer/s cannot be accessed unless the user enters a PIN code, card login and/or a combination of both.
From talking to our customers, we know that uniFLOW adds endless benefits for businesses, particularly the fact that all print activity can be monitored, so costs can be constantly reviewed. The software integrates with all of your existing devices to enable printing and scanning from anywhere, subject to user authentication.
