Security concerns With security being a key concern of customers, Canon has further developed the SMARTshield integrated printing security technology in the new the plotWAVE and colorWAVE T-series with the automatic deployment of Microsoft security patches and pin code or password printing. A system administrator can specify when the security patches are deployed and can set up notifications regarding the availability of new security patches and the status of the updates. A user can now also enter a pin code or password just before printing a file. On arriving at the printer, the pin code or password must be entered on the ClearConnect user panel to allow access to the file for secure printing and prevents any unauthorised person from printing the file. Sustainability credentials Helping to minimise environmental impact, both the plotWAVE T-series with its Radiant Fusing technology and the colorWAVE T-series with its CrystalPoint technology are ENERGY STAR certified and feature energy- saving modes. As with their predecessors, many units of which are still in use with customers, both T-series have been designed for longevity using materials at least 85% of which can be recycled or reused for remanufacturing. The plotWAVE T-series also features toner bottles made from 50% recycled plastic on average, while part of packaging of the colorWAVE T-series TonerPearls has been designed to also be used as the maintenance tray. Both T-series are also supported by Canon smart drivers and the PRISMA Tech Suite
workflow solutions to help deliver first-time-right printing to avoid wasted prints, toner, ink or energy.
