With one touch, this model will automatically scan, recognise, and classify up to four different document types and save them each to a preferred destination – even in the cloud. Wi-Fi enabled, the device can be set up to scan anywhere with a wireless network. The iX1400 one button device offers an easy way to scan, save and share. Users simply press the blue button to scan, then select from the Quick Menu what they want to do next – whether that’s creating searchable PDFs, or editable files in applications such as Word, PowerPoint or Excel.

Boasting the robust productivity and security standards of the 2nd generation of imageRUNNER ADVANCE technology, Canon says these introductions deliver competitive new growth opportunities for partners, offering the ability to help customers meet their sustainability goals, whilst also benefitting from the consistent quality, reliability and seamless integration of a brand new Canon device. Developed over two decades of research and refinement, the EQ80 range enables businesses to actively contribute to a circular economy. Unlike refurbished products that only offer second-hand warranties and vary in quality depending on the condition of the original machine, these remanufactured units are created through fully disassembling the best-selling models collected from the market and rebuilding them using up to 80% reused parts, after thorough testing and cleaning. As a result, the new devices use up to 80% lower carbon emissions across the raw material sourcing, manufacturing and logistics stages of the product lifecycle, in comparison to newly manufactured products. www.canon.co.uk Sharp enhances A3 colour line-up Sharp has added two new high speed colour MFPs to its office A3 line-up. The MX-8081 and MX-7081 offer a host of productivity functions, security enhancements and the same powerful workflow features and user interface common across the Sharp range. The new models offer increased productivity with print speeds of up to 80 ppm, and scanning speeds of up to 120 ipm one sided and 240 ipm two sided. The printer supports a maximum 8,500-sheet paper capacity that can be fed from separate trays on the MFP, allowing users to select different paper styles up to 300 gsm. The devices also feature a 300-sheet duplex single pass feeder that scans two sided documents in one pass and can scan documents as editable text through the Scan to OCR function. The new double feed detection feature, designed to stop paper jams by detecting skewed or multiple sheets fed into the machine, further enhances reliability. www.sharp.co.uk ANTAL I S Co l o r Lok FUJITSU ScanSnap iX1600 / 1400
