CANON imageRUNNER LBP ENGINE INNOVATIONS
ON THE DESKTOP
The Canon imageRUNNER LBP Series delivers the
desktop productivity and advanced technology users
demand in three exceptionally compact models. The Color
imageRUNNER LBP5960/5360 models utilize robust four-drum
engine technology and the Color RAPID Fusing System™
to produce beautiful high-speed color and monochrome
documents. The Canon imageRUNNER LBP3460 model
uses the RAPID Fusing System™ to quickly output crisp
black-and-white documents.
These imaging innovations provide shorter warm-up and
first printout times while emitting less heat and reducing
energy consumption.
REMARKABLE IMAGE QUALITY
The Color imageRUNNER LBP5960 device utilizes an innovative
compact 4-in-1 laser beam unit to achieve true 1200-dpi
output in Super Fine Mode for enhanced image clarity and
gradients, or Fine Mode for precise graphics at 600 dpi. The
Color imageRUNNER LBP5360 and imageRUNNER LBP3460
models both deliver crisp output at up to 600 dpi, equivalent
in appearance to 2400 x 600 dpi.
IMPRESSIVE PAPER HANDLING
All models in the Canon imageRUNNER LBP Series feature auto-
duplexing capabilities to produce double-sided documents with
nonstop productivity. The Color imageRUNNER LBP5960 device
can hold up to 230 sheets of paper (standard) in the front-loading
cassette and 90 sheets in the multi-purpose tray. Paper sizes
up to 11" x 17" can be accommodated. Increased capacity
is available by adding up to three optional cassettes. The
Color imageRUNNER LBP5360 device has a standard 250-sheet
capacity and a 100-sheet multi-purpose tray for sizes up to
legal and the option to install an additional cassette. The
imageRUNNER LBP3460 model comes standard with a
250-sheet capacity and 100-sheet multi-purpose tray for
sizes up to legal. An optional cassette can also be installed.

AN ENGINE DESIGNED FOR PRODUCTIVITY
The new Color imageRUNNER LBP Series is powered by the
same high-performance system architecture developed for
Canon’s advanced imageRUNNER line. This evolutionary
technology applied to desktop laser beam printers delivers
extraordinary productivity, robust functionality, and enhanced
processing capacity for color and monochrome documents.
The Color imageRUNNER LBP5960 device achieves dramatic
output speeds with its revolutionary short vertical paper path
design, which results in significantly reduced first-printout
times. Using the new Accelerated Paper Feeding Method, the
Color imageRUNNER LBP5360 model delivers no loss in
productivity when producing double-sided documents.
OPTIMIZED DOCUMENT PROCESSING
All three models in the Canon imageRUNNER LBP Series include
the UFR II Print Controller, which is optimized to produce high-
speed color and monochrome documents. It automatically
distributes data processing between the print driver on the
user’s desktop computer and the imageRUNNER LBP device.
When users print a document, the intelligent driver architecture
determines the optimal balance of processing between the
desktop computer and the imageRUNNER LBP device by analyzing
the layout and graphic components of each page. This unique
approach maintains exceptionally high print performance on even
complex documents that include images, graphics, and text.

CONSISTENT imageRUNNER PRINT DRIVER ARCHITECTURE
Canon has designed a consistent print driver that spans the
entire imageRUNNER line to simplify and standardize the task
of producing documents for users. The drivers are compatible
with Windows®and Macintosh®environments and provide
support for UFR II and PCL5c/5e/6 page description languages
to ensure high productivity.*
AUTOMATIC DRIVER CONFIGURATION
The Canon imageRUNNER LBP Series uses an intelligent driver
that features an automatic configuration function. This enables
users to view detailed device information prior to printing. The
drivers detect information such as installed hardware options,
paper cassettes, paper size and orientation, and paper availability
in each cassette.
RIP-ONCE TECHNOLOGY
When the Hard Disk Drive Option is installed on the Canon
Color imageRUNNER LBP5960 and LBP5360 models, documents
can be set to RIP once and then stored for high-speed printing
of large or complicated print jobs.
ENHANCED JOB SPOOLING
The Job Spooling feature of the Hard Disk Drive option on
the Color imageRUNNER LBP5960/5360 models enables print
data to be spooled on the device so users can quickly return
to other tasks.
DOCUMENT STORAGE CAPABILITIES
Color imageRUNNER LBP5960/5360 models offer a convenient
feature to store frequently used print jobs in different boxes
using the Hard Disk Drive option. Up to 100 print jobs can
be stored on the device and printed from the Remote UI
Web-based utility.

FRONT-LOAD ACCESS
All models in the Canon imageRUNNER LBP Series have
been designed with front-load access to consumables in
mind, so they can easily be situated in a corner or previously
unusable space.
SIMPLIFIED MAINTENANCE
The Canon imageRUNNER LBP Series provides for quick and
easy maintenance of customer-replaceable components. The
Color imageRUNNER LBP5960 device uses a drum and toner
cartridge for each color, dramatically simplifying the
replacement of consumables. The Color imageRUNNER LBP5360
model utilizes four distinctive all-in-one cartridges that combine
the drum, developer, waste toner box, and toners in a single
unit. The imageRUNNER LBP3460 model offers the option of a
standard or high-yield all-in-one cartridge, combining the black
toner and drum in one unit.
ELECTRONIC DOCUMENTATION
All models in the Canon imageRUNNER LBP Series have
CD-based documentation, so users won’t have to waste
time scanning through large printed manuals. The electronic
documentation features powerful search tools to help users
locate the answers they need, quickly and easily.

SIMPLIFIED NETWORK CONFIGURATION
Administrators will appreciate the Canon NetSpot Device
Installer, which provides simplified remote device setup and
installation capabilities for the Canon imageRUNNER LBP
Series. The software enables remote setup of network
protocols and device information, as well as real-time
monitoring of device status.
DEVICE SECURITY
To counter unauthorized access, each model in the Canon
imageRUNNER LBP Series includes the ability to set network
security restrictions. Permissions can be granted by IP
address range and/or MAC address filtering.
DATA SECURITY
When the Hard Disk Drive option is installed on Color
imageRUNNER LBP5960/5360 models, security features are
available to protect your data. The Hard Disk Drive Erase feature
completely erases all traces of deleted data by automatically
overwriting that portion of the drive.
DOCUMENT SECURITY
Color imageRUNNER LBP5960/5360 models offer the ability
to protect printed documents with the Secured Print and
Encrypted Secured Print functions when the Hard Disk Drive
option is installed. The Secured Print function stores documents
on the device until the user-defined password is entered for
printing. For an added layer of security, the Encrypted Secured
Print feature encrypts and password-protects documents before
sending to the device over the network.

REMOTE UI (USER INTERFACE)
The standard Remote UI utility gives users the ability to check
device status, track current job progress, monitor paper and
toner levels, and administer boxes of stored documents on a
Canon imageRUNNER LBP Series device through a Web browser.
COMPREHENSIVE DEVICE MANAGEMENT
Canon imageWARE™ Enterprise Management Console (EMC) is
a Web-based utility that facilitates centralized management of
multiple imageRUNNER or non-imageRUNNER devices. Built
upon an extensible framework, it enables remote management
of device settings, discovery of new devices using automated
tasks, and device error notifications via e-mail. Administrators
can also push the print drivers to PC-based desktop computers
for rapid deployment.
DOCUMENT CREATION TOOLS
The Canon imageWARE Publishing Manager option provides
powerful desktop tools to produce professional documents
through a simple drag-and-drop interface. Documents
can contain contents from many different sources and
applications and provide access to a number of editing
and imposition capabilities.
