Workspace portfolio, including new addition to imagePRESS Series, enhanced to meet evolving hybrid needs
Sydney, AUSTRALIA - 10 August 2022: Canon Australia today announces the launch of three new models in its imageCLASS range: two new colour multifunction printers, the imageCLASS MF756Cx and imageCLASS X C1333iF, plus the imageCLASS LBP674Cx, a dedicated single-function colour printer. Packed into a compact design, these devices are specifically designed for SMB and SOHO (small office / home office) users. These updates are part of an ongoing commitment to refresh the imageCLASS range.
Additionally, key enhancements across the imageCLASS and imagePRESS portfolios, including the new imagePRESS C270 Series, have been specifically designed to help businesses of all sizes navigate the hybrid working world. As organisations look to fine-tune newly implemented hybrid strategies, workspaces are changing. Large offices with multiple departments are no longer the norm, with many firms downsizing their real estate footprint and consolidating processes to factor in a variety of different work environments.
The latest addition to Canon’s colour A4 portfolio, the imageCLASS MF756Cx, imageCLASS X C1333iF multi-function printers and imageCLASS LBP674Cx single function printer, delivers improved productivity, user experience and strengthened security, all on more compact devices. Thanks to a new design and engine, users are empowered with faster printing and scanning capabilities on smaller, lighter devices. The devices offer increased paper size options and higher quality media output, such as A5 duplex print and A6 one-sided print, make the devices a reliable and flexible component to any mixed fleet.
The new imagePRESS C270 Series offers higher speed scanning and a consistent user experience in line with the rest of the Canon workspace portfolio. The devices combine functionality and connectivity with creative professional output, allowing businesses to advance their in-house printing capabilities with brochures, direct mail, catalogues and more.
With Canon’s advanced print and scan management software, uniFLOW online, users can harness the power of cloud connectivity to tie their fleet together across multiple workspaces. The integrated software solution bolsters workspace collaboration by supporting pre-existing Canon devices, so businesses can ensure seamless document management and security across Canon’s new introductions as well as pre-existing devices in their infrastructure.
Ted Matsumoto, General Manager Product Marketing at Canon Australia comments: “These new launches mark the latest iteration in our commitment to meet the evolving needs of our customers. During the last few years hybrid working has become a constantly evolving concept and as such, organisations large and small have shown an increasing need for solutions which are able to support employees whenever, wherever, and however they may be working. The ability to access and share documents in all workplace locations is a necessity in today’s working world and the digitisation and cloud connection capability of our portfolio continues to empower users to stay engaged, productive and secure.”
Mr Matsumoto continues, “Innovation is also key for meeting customers’ evolving needs. By refreshing our imageCLASS range, we are ensuring our devices are optimised to answer users’ growing requirements and support our partner community in expanding their market opportunities as a result.”
imageCLASS devices to expand sales opportunities by capturing small business needs
SMBs and SOHO workers are increasingly looking for competitively priced, high-performing solutions to meet their varied and expanding needs. Fast-moving environments like retail, for example, often need to print or scan documents quickly in a shared workspace. With simple, out-of-the-box cloud connectivity, the new imageCLASS devices allow partners to maximise sales potential thanks to their straightforward functionality and flexibility.
Colour multifunction printers empowering SMEs with premium productivity features
With printing speeds of up to 33pm and up to 100ipm scanning speeds for the colour multifunction printers, the new range takes productivity to the next level. The devices can also handle a wide variety of media1, perfect for those who work with different sized documents daily.
Thanks to the simple step-by step set up and a streamlined Wi-Fi process, users can confidently plug and play with no prior IT expertise, ideal for businesses that do not have dedicated technical support. Native cloud connectivity to DropBox, Google Drive and OneDrive simplifies everyday business tasks by enabling printing and scanning directly from cloud storage, while also centralising print management with Microsoft Universal Print support.
The devices also boast advanced security features, including secure PIN print functionality that restricts access to sensitive documents, and verification upon start up, which assures the device remains protected from malicious attacks.

The new imageCLASS MF756Cx, imageCLASS X C1333iF and imageCLASS LBP674Cx will be commercially available from Canon and accredited partners from mid-September and the imagePRESS C270 Series from late September.
