Canon is set to revolutionize the multifunction printer (MFP) market with the launch of its new “imageFORCE” lineup, which will replace the existing “imageRUNNER” brand. The first model, the imageFORCE C7165, is scheduled to ship in November 2024. This highly anticipated device offers an array of features designed to boost productivity, enhance image quality, and promote sustainability—all while pushing the boundaries of MFP technology.
A New Era with “D2 Exposure” OLED Technology
The imageFORCE C7165 introduces D2 Exposure technology, utilizing OLED (organic light-emitting diode) instead of traditional laser-based exposure systems. According to Canon, this innovative technology offers several advantages over laser systems, including a shorter light path that reduces interference, leading to enhanced image quality, better color registration, and finer line precision. This shift to OLED marks a significant leap forward in imaging technology for office devices.

- Industry-leading 4800×2400 dpi resolution, delivering exceptional print quality.
- Eco-friendly design, incorporating 30% recycled plastic in the resin material.
- Fast 4-second warm-up from sleep mode, minimizing downtime.
- Standard 1200-sheet paper capacity with options to expand up to 6,350 sheets.

The imageFORCE C7165 is also designed to print on synthetic media via the multipurpose tray, using Air Assist technology—a feature that will appeal to industries requiring more diverse print materials.
Enhanced Security and Connectivity
With growing concerns around cybersecurity, Canon has equipped the imageFORCE C7165 with robust security features, ensuring your sensitive data remains protected. Key security capabilities include:
- TLS 1.3, IPSec, SNMP v3.0 encryption, and S/MIME support.

- A unique Security Environment Estimation feature that uses machine learning to analyze the operational environment and recommend optimal security settings.
In terms of connectivity, the MFP comes with 10/100/1000BaseT and USB ports, with optional WiFi for wireless networking. Canon also offers an optional Fiery print server (imagePASS T1) for businesses needing advanced color management and faster processing.
Advanced Document Handling and Finishing Options
The imageFORCE C7165 is built for efficiency, featuring a document feeder capable of scanning both sides of an original simultaneously, with speeds of up to 135opm or 270ipm. It supports a range of scan destinations, including network, USB, email, FTP, and cloud connectors.
For document finishing, businesses can choose from options like stapling, booklet-making, hole-punching, and multi-fold finishing, making this MFP suitable for a wide range of office environments.
Paper and Toner Management
The imageFORCE C7165 provides cost-effective printing with a black toner yield of 37,500 pages and color toner yields of 27,500 pages each, all based on 5% coverage per page. This ensures fewer interruptions and greater productivity between toner replacements.
