Choosing a printer comes down to your own personal checklist. Key considerations may include whether you need colour, how much you need to print, what you need to print and must-have features (e.g., finishing, security, etc.). Canon’s Product Configurator can help you determine the printer that best meets your needs. Answer a few short questions about what you need the printer to do, and the configurator will recommend a product.

Already have a product in mind? You can select a specific imageRUNNER ADVANCE DX or imageFORCE model from the Product Configurator to learn more about it. You can check out a model’s e-manual, which gives a comprehensive – and searchable – overview of the product’s features. You can also see things in action on the imageRUNNER ADVANCE DX demo page. There you’ll find videos that showcase the series’ features, such as making encrypted PDFs, remote operation, authentication and scanning with OCR.
