subject: Canon Imageclass Mf7480 Mfc With Canon Universal Send [print this page] The Canon ImageClass MF7480 is the same multifunctional device as its sister model, the Canon ImageClass MF7470, save one interesting difference. While the Canon ImageClass MF7480 carries a network card and all the hardware features as the MF7470, it also includes the rare ability to send scanned data to any desired location on the network, or even across the internet and fax lines.
With Universal Send, users can send scanned data, and even distribute it to multiple destinations, in ways impossible with almost all other scanners and multifunctional devices. Universal Send allows Canon ImageClass MF7480 users to forward scanned data to individuals, or groups of e mail addresses. Scans can even be sent to fax destinations, providing much higher quality than a standard fax. Device mail boxes, network or host files and folders, and document management applications such as Canon imageANYWARE Document manager, are all possible recipients of scanned information.
On top of the versatility of the Universal Send option, the Canon ImageClass MF7480 also includes a full lineup of comprehensive and very powerful features, including a very unique tablet / ledger sized 11.75 x 17 inch document glass. With a scanning surface of this size, not only can oversized document sheets be scanned or copied (with size reduction), but, via the flip top cover, large three dimensional objects, such as books and magazines, can be as well.
The built in 50 page automatic document feeder is not only extremely helpful when dealing with large stacks of paper, but it can also accept ledger sized sheets to take full advantage of the large document glass. This, combined with Universal Send, makes this one of the few printers in the world that can automatically scan multiple, two sided ledger sized documents, and forward them to almost anywhere.
The double sided feature is made possible via a built in duplexor, which makes two sided printing, copying, scanning, and even faxing possible. While the Canon ImageClass MF7480 lacks the ability to print on oversized paper, it can print to letter or legal sized in duplex mode, reducing paper costs by as much as half, and providing a very professional feel to workloads.
Operating at up to 25 pages per minute, the Canon ImageClass MF7480 is not an industry leader for speed, as it focuses primarily on its intensely unique and diverse hardware set over raw printing power. It also includes a Super G3 33.6 Kbps fax modem that can send and receive data at a rate of about 3 seconds per page. Canon also leaves the option open to add a second modem, allowing for a dual line mode for offices with heavy fax requirements.
When a dual fax line is utilized, faxes can even be sent and received at the same time! The Canon ImageClass MF7480 is easily one of the most unique pieces of hardware on the market. With a VGA touch screen panel to make things easy, the devices extensive features list is accessible to novice users, and office veterans alike.
