...As Well As Powerful Network Device
Management and Driver Software

Regardless of the network or computer operating
platform you use, every imageRUNNER, when connected
to the network, offers device driver software designed
for ease-of-use and fulldocument control. You can send
print jobs from your desktop over the network with
specific instructions, such as sort, staple/sort, saddle­stitch or duplex, or even select various paper options
by choosing up to seven available supply areas.

As an integral component of every network-connected
imageRUNNER, Canon’s NetSpot Device Management
Software simplifies the complete device installation,
configuration and management through an easy-to­understand user-interface. From one’s desktop, NetSpot
enables networkadministrators and end-users to receive

to 1,000 sheets.

High-resolution Document Scanning
and Distribution With an Open System…

Scanning is quickly becoming a necessity as organizations
integrate paper-based and electronic information for
shared access throughout the company. With the
Interface Board-D1, every imageRUNNER 330/400 has
the ability to scan hard-copy originals from 150 dpi to
2400 dpi, adding tremendous value over traditional
scanners, as grayscale, resolution and paper support
are much greater. Furthermore, Canon’s support of
industry-standard ISIS®scanner interface technology
allows all imageRUNNER 330/400 Series models to support
more than 120 of the most popular imaging applications.

imageRUNNER is the ideal solution

for users who demand high image quality and
editing capability…

Canon’s 50-sheet ADF, standard
on the imageRUNNER 330N/400N
models, pulls from the top of a

and consistency acrossall
Canon Digital Imaging Systems,
the imageRUNNER 330/400 Series’
Control Panel makes machine
operation as simple as touching
a button.

Built-in Fault Tolerance Assures Your
imageRUNNER is Always Operating…

Rather than rely on a single Central Processing Unit
(CPU) to handle all functions, each expansion board
has its own, thereby optimizing the specific requested
function while processing multiple jobs simultaneously.
Recognizing the critical nature of your networked
requirements, this offers a robust level of redundancy,
thus eliminating potential for total system failure.

DIPS Digitizes Images For Super Clarity

Instead of producing originals the traditional way,
Canon’s patented Digital Image Processing System (DIPS)
translates original images into digital form and then
prints them—using a high-quality invisible ray laser—at
up to 1200 x 600 dpi resolution, resulting in astounding
digital clarity. DIPS also uses advanced Artificial
Intelligence to improve contrast and text sharpness,
often proving to be better than the original itself.

Ease-of-use With the Touch of a Button

For maximum productivity, all imageRUNNER 330/400
Series models are designed with a user-friendly,
integrated LCD touch-panel. For operations that require
monitoring, Canon has provided a simple interface that
allows users to complete tasks in fewer steps. Just the
touch of a button can copy, fax or edit documents,
leaving the operator free to do other tasks.

Although the imageRUNNER 330/400 Series comes
standard with a 1,050-sheet, statement-to-ledger
paper supply, it can accommodate paper-intensive
operations with available paper supply options,
including:

1. Cassette Feeding Unit-R1: This option adds four 500­sheet paper trays to the standard two 500-sheet trays,
bringing total paper capacity to 3,000 sheets.
