Version 5.0 of Uniflow introduces a secure print function, which enables users to scan documents for printing or e-mailing. When a user-configured keyword is recognised, the software sends a notification to alert the administrator.
According to Canon, the latest incarnation of Uniflow, which is developed by NT-Ware, also improves productivity by automating common processes.
It can be paired with the company's Helix production web-to-print workflow enabling businesses to merge its office and corporate reprographics departments operations/
Clare Want, marketing director for Canon Business Solutions in UK & Ireland, said as organisations handle increased volumes of information, multifunctional devices have become the heart of the office printing environment.
She said: "Uniflow V5 is a single management platform that complements the multi-functional device's role, enabling businesses to control cost and security, while boosting productivity."
