Network Digital MFPs

Combining Advanced Technologies to Make Office Work Easier

Network digital MFPs allow multiple office imaging tasks, such as input, output, storage, and transmission of documents, to be performed by a single device. Canon has drawn on its expertise in developing electrophotographic technologies to combine advanced network, document processing, and software and device technologies in a single unit. Canon's network digital MFPs also aim to provide enhanced security technology to meet today's business needs.

Overview of Network Digital MFPs

Network Digital MFPs print documents using the electrophotographic printing process. An MFP utilizes either a tandem system, as illustrated below, in which each CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow, black) color has its own laser unit and drum unit; or a single-drum system, in which one drum is used to form images.

The Electrophotographic Printing Process

Laser printers, network MFPs, and multifunction production systems all employ the same printing principle.

  • *1 Most color models use a transfer system in which the toner first transfers from the photosensitive drum to an intermediate transfer belt, then from the belt to the paper.
