Buyers Laboratory LLC, the world’s leading independent tester of document imaging products, announced that Canon has won BLI’s first “Line of the Year” award for “Energy Efficiency” for its A3 line of MFPs, which consistently exhibit significantly lower than average energy consumption while running BLI’s real-world environmental job stream test.
The award was based on the energy consumption of current Canon models tested to date, including the imageRUNNER ADVANCE C2020, imageRUNNER ADVANCE 4025, imageRUNNER ADVANCE C2030, imageRUNNER ADVANCE C5035, imageRUNNER 3245i, imageRUNNER ADVANCE 4051, imageRUNNER ADVANCE C5255, imageRUNNER ADVANCE C5051 and imageRUNNER ADVANCE 6075.
Each device was compared against tested competitive models that are considered current in each manufacturer’s product line. Any devices that achieved an energy consumption rate more than 35% below the competitive average were eligible for the “Line” award. The tested energy consumption of Canon’s eligible devices ranged from 37% to as much as 62% below their competitive averages.
