iR C3380/C3380i Color MFPs

We focus on promoting superior energy efficiency in standby mode while still offering usability and security features.

Use Proprietary On-Demand Fixing Technology Reduces Power Consumption

Canon’s proprietary on-demand fixing technology (*1) is put to use for the first time ever in a color printer/MFP, giving a short warm-up time of 30 seconds (*2), and recovery from sleep mode in 15 seconds or less. Sleep mode power consumption has been reduced to just 3 watts and power consumption in standard use has been cut by approximately 80% (*3). Despite all this energy saving, users still get speeds of 30 ppm for color and 33 ppm for black-and-white printing.

*1 On-demand fixing technology
A proprietary film fixing technology in which a ceramic heater directly heats a thin film, it allows instantaneous heat transfer to the fixing point. By using a rubber layer on the surface of the fixing film in color machines, Canon offers both stable fixing and energy efficiency.

*2 For iR C3380 (38 seconds for the iR C3380i)

*3 Calculated using the energy consumption efficiency measurement method stipulated by Japan’s Law Concerning the Rational Use of Energy.

Recycle Promoting Remanufacturing through Development and Production of the First Color Machines in the Refreshed Series

Canon is involved in remanufacturing and carries out sales of copying machines at sites in Japan, the Americas, and Europe. Used digital copying machines are recycled and remanufactured into the Refreshed Series in Japan. We developed and released the first color products in the Refreshed Series early in 2007, and four models (iR 3310F-R, iR 3310FL-R, iR 6010-R, and iR C3200N-R) are on sale (in Japan only).

iR C3200N-R
With Canon’s recycling technologies introduced in Japan, exterior parts that were previously difficult to reuse because of dirty surfaces can now be reused, and now up to approximately 83% of parts (by weight) can be reused in new products. This refreshed model reduces the environmental burden (converted to CO2 emissions) by approximately 76% up to the manufacturing stage, compared with the same model assembled with all-new parts.
