Canon refreshes home office printer range with five new productive and connected All-In-One models

Sydney, Australia, 15 February 2013 – Canon today announces a refresh of its PIXMA MX printer range with the launch of five new All-In-One models. The PIXMA MX396, MX456, MX526, MX726 and MX926 replace the PIXMA MX376, MX436, MX516, MX715 and MX895, respectively. Offering high-productivity and sophisticated software for home office environments, all the new printers feature print, copy, scan, fax and ADF functionality.

Advanced productivity

Featuring enhanced hardware, designed to improve productivity for home office users, the PIXMA MX726 and MX926 come with new double front paper cassettes that hold up to 250 sheets of plain paper and up to 20 sheets of photo paper. Offering greater flexibility for users looking to print both photos and office documents, the new paper cassettes also help to support larger print jobs. Print speeds for the PIXMA MX726 and MX926 have been increased compared with the previous models, producing A4 documents as fast as 10 impressions per minute (ipm) in colour and 15 ipm in mono.

Scanning and copying multi-page documents is quick and easy with a fully-integrated 30-sheet ADF (Automatic Document Feeder) available on the PIXMA MX396, MX456 and MX526 printers. The PIXMA MX726 and MX926 both feature an even-more productive 35-sheet Auto Double Sided ADF allowing for copying, scanning and faxing double sided documents, without turning the pages. The PIXMA MX526, MX726 and MX926 printers help users to save paper and produce professional-looking documents fast with double-sided printing, through Canon’s Auto 2-sided Print. These models also feature a large colour display which provides direct access to cloud services while the Dual Function Panel makes it easy to print, copy, scan and fax directly from the printer.

 

Providing consumers with more control over costs, optional high yield XL cartridges are now available for all printers across Canon’s PIXMA MX range, allowing more documents to be printed for less, without compromising on quality. Furthermore, the PIXMA MX726 and MX926 are the first Canon printers to have an optional XXL pigment black ink tank, which enables users to print up to 1,000 pages of A4 documents without needing to replace the ink[i].

 

Connected devices

The PIXMA MX456, MX526, MX726and MX926come with a range of connectivity features including support for printing from smartphones and tablets through Canon’s Easy-PhotoPrint app for Android, iOS and Windows RT. Built-in Wi-Fi allows the printers to be easily shared between multiple PCs around the home or small office. The MX526, MX726 and MX926all support PIXMA Cloud Link, which includes Google Cloud Print support, enabling Google Docs or Gmail attachments (jpeg or PDF files) to be printed remotely via the internet. PIXMA Cloud Link also offers direct access to online photo albums and useful print templates, such as calendars and stationery. The PIXMA MX456, MX526, MX726 and MX926 all include a USB port, meaning that PDF and JPG scans and copies of faxes can be saved directly to a USB memory stick.

 

Sophisticated Software

New to the PIXMA MX office range is Canon’s My Image Garden software, which ensures effortless navigation between printing and scanning functions. A one-stop platform that combines all software previously available for Canon PIXMA printers in a single, easy-to-use interface, My Image Garden provides features to assist the home user with office processes.  This includes software to help streamline scanning functions, with Auto Scan, Photo Scan and Document Scan, as well as Stitch options. The new printers also come with the option to scan documents with the ability to create PDF documents with passwords for enhanced document security.
