12 OFFICE BUSINESS UNIT
Canon has expanded the functions of its offi ce multifunction devices, which realize enhanced coordination with IT systems and are compatible
with various types of system application software, offering an optimal usage environment for all sorts of document-related tasks.
2014 Review
Amid healthy demand for office multifunction devices
(MFDs) underpinned by improved corporate results,
Canon launched the C350/C250-series models, the first
color A4 models in its imageRUNNER ADVANCE series.
The new models sold well, especially in Europe and
North America. Accordingly, we now have a full lineup
that can provide solutions for more precise office doc-
ument environments. The imageRUNNER ADVANCE
C5200 series of A3 models also performed well. As a
result, sales of office MFDs increased year on year.
In digital production printing systems, we released
the C800/C700 series, the first color models in the
imagePRESS series targeting the light production mar-
ket. The new models received worldwide acclaim, which
helped generate significant sales growth for color print-
ers. Overall sales for digital production printing sys-
tems, including monochrome models, surpassed the
previous year.
