We design our inkjet MFPs with the environment in mind. This means conserving resources by making them smaller and lighter and making sure their operations are energy-efficient. At the same time, we strive to improve printer function and performance in terms of speed and image quality.
Smaller and Lighter through Compact Design
By making units like the scanner and printer smaller and lighter, Canon has made the MP600 approximately 44% more compact and 19% lighter than its predecessor (MP760). The scanner unit is smaller, thanks to a small LED light source and simplified, compact mechanisms. Improved designs for the printer head and printer head contact part allow the printer unit to be smaller.
Dramatic Power Savings with On-Demand Operation Technology
With on-demand operation technology, a control unit provides power separately to the copy, print, and scan functions. When any one of these modes is used, the control section gives it only as much power as is needed. The MP600 incorporates on-demand operation technology for operation mode and energy-efficiency technologies for standby and power off modes. These combine to give an approximate 90% overall saving in power consumption over the previous model (MP760).
CanoScan LiDE 600F for Environmentally Conscious Image Scanning
Canon also strives to make its image scanners as environmentally friendly as possible. Using LIDE (LED InDirect Exposure) image reading technology with a compact LED for the light source, we have made dramatic energy saving over previous models. At the same time, resources are saved through a simpler and smaller mechanism for the document scanning section. Furthermore, the three-way design allows users to easily place the scanner in the location or position of their choice.
