Canon MFP Security Checklist - The Defences that Could Save Thousands...

Photocopier News - General News

Monday, 05 September 2011 19:00

Every device in a networked environment requires robust security defences. Any weak link in the chain can and usually will be exploited by cyber-thieves or online criminals and could end up costing the organisations affected very dearly indeed. McAfee, the online security experts, estimated that the overall cost of cyber crime had reached a staggering $1 trillion by 2009. The average cost of a corporate data breach in 2010 was $7.2 million and the number of such breaches has been growing every year since 2000. According to the Forrester's Global IT Budgets, Priorities and Emerging Technology Tracing Survey of Q2 2010, upgrading the security environment has been a major priority for IT decsion-makers for the past four years and in 2010, for the first time ever, it became a critical or high priority for over 62% of IT decision-makers. But quite a number of those IT decision-makers can appear fairly complacent of the risks when it comes to office MFPs, which over the past decade or so, have morphed from analogue one or two function photocopiers into sophisticated, networked office task-masters. MFP's now have one or more operating system, a hard disk drive, a web server, fax functionality and even have their own IP addresses. It's essential with such a high level of risk exposure that organisations take as much care to protect their MFPs and printing operations as they would over their day-to-day PC or server security. The list which follows outlines the core layers of defence across the main areas of MFP security - data, document, network and authentication.

In February this year, Canon Copiers provided its readers with tips and advice to cut their office energy consumption and environmental impact in an article entitled, "An Environmental Black Hole? - What Can be Done to Limit Environmental Impact in the Office...?". Now, Canon USA, the world's largest Canon corporation outside of Japan, has announced its own agressive energy saving strategy, with full details of how the company has been able to cut costs and save energy and emissions across their major US office locations. Canon Copiers, the leading UK photocopiers supplier, hopes the steps Canon USA has taken in its own effort to tackle energy consumption, will be of guidance to other large office-based companies in the UK looking to cut their costs and conserve power.

Why Canon Believes Speed isn't Everything When it Comes to Photocopiers

Photocopier News - General News

Monday, 04 July 2011 14:00

The last decade or so has seen major technological advances when it comes to the design and build of photocopiers. But what may surprise many, especially those looking to replace existing photocopiers with the latest devices, is that the maximum speeds of photocopiers in the last ten years or so have remained relatively unchanged. Here we take a glimpse inside the reprographics industry, asking Trevor Dodsworth, Head of Product Marketing at Canon UK why even in the high pressure office environments of today, speed isn't everything.

Roof Tiles, Cement and Freshwater River Conservation - Canon's Cartridge Recycling Programme

Photocopier News - General News

Thursday, 16 June 2011 09:00

By the end of 2008, Canon had collected a staggering 212,000 tons of used cartridges for its recycling programme, proof if any were needed that Canon's environmental efforts over the years have gone much further than the nominal requirements of a public-facing company. Canon was in fact the first reprographics manufacturer to introduce easy to recycle all-in-one toner cartridges for its personal photocopiers followed shortly after by its laser printers and in 1990 Canon embarked on its toner cartridge recycling programme, another world first. The success of the programme has avoided tons of CO2 emissions, enabled the re-use of vast quanitities of plastic and other materials and has even been able to safeguard the most precious resource of all - our natural environment. Here we explore how toner cartridge recycling works, how effective it has been and why Canon it seems is leading the way in its environmental strategy.
