With this launch, we are set to further reinforce our pioneering role in the MFD category, strengthen our position in the information technology ecosystem, and enable businesses to unlock higher efficiency, agility, and long-term value in their digital transformation journey.”

Sharing his thoughts on the new lineup, C Sukumaran, senior director, products and communication, Canon India, said, “The launch of the new imageFORCE C5100 and 6100 series reflects Canon’s commitment to designing intelligent print solutions that empower businesses with greater efficiency, reliability, and security.

In today’s digital landscape, security is more important than ever. The imageFORCE series is built with advanced protections to safeguard sensitive data and prevent unauthorized access. It features malware protection, activity logs, and SIEM compatibility with third-party solutions available to customers for real-time threat detection, ensuring potential risks are identified and addressed promptly.

Additionally, it offers safeguards such as secure print options and user authentication, which help protect confidential information throughout the document lifecycle.

The imageFORCE series is built for seamless connectivity, enabling businesses to integrate effortlessly with existing workflows and collaborate more effectively. The MFDs support a wide range of cloud services, allowing users to easily print from and scan to the cloud.
