Efficient, Secure, and Cost-Effective A3 Productivity for Growing Businesses

The Canon imageRUNNER iR 2224 is a robust A3 monochrome multifunction printer designed to bring high-speed efficiency and professional document handling to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Combining essential print, copy, and scan functionalities into a compact and durable frame, the iR 2224 is built to handle the rigors of a busy office without the high overhead of larger enterprise machines. With its intuitive interface and enhanced security features, it offers a reliable solution for teams that need to produce sharp, high-volume black-and-white documents on various media sizes up to A3.

Expansive Key Features & Benefits

1. High-Speed Monochrome Performance

The iR 2224 is engineered for speed, delivering up to 24 pages per minute (ppm) for A4 and 12 ppm for A3 documents. With a First Copy Out Time (FCOT) of just 7.4 seconds, it minimizes wait times at the device. Its 1.6GHz Dual-Core processor ensures that even complex print jobs are processed swiftly, keeping your office workflow moving smoothly.

2. User-Friendly Touch Interface

Navigation is made simple via the 8.9 cm (3.5-inch) monochrome touch panel. This responsive screen allows users to customize their home screen for quick access to frequent tasks. The dedicated ID Card Copy function is a standout feature, allowing you to scan both sides of an ID or insurance card and print them onto a single side of paper with one touch.

3. Advanced Document Security

Data protection is paramount, and the iR 2224 includes Verify System at Startup to protect the device against unauthorized firmware modifications. It also supports Secure Print, which holds documents in a queue until a PIN is entered at the device, ensuring that sensitive information—such as payroll or legal contracts—doesn’t sit unattended in the output tray.

4. Versatile Media Handling

Designed for flexibility, this printer supports a wide range of paper types and weights (up to 157 gsm via the multi-purpose tray). Whether you are printing standard office memos on A4 or large-scale spreadsheets and architectural diagrams on A3 paper, the iR 2224 maintains high-resolution clarity at up to 1200 x 1200 dpi.

Ideal Use Cases

• Small to Medium Enterprises (SMEs): Looking for a dependable, high-volume “workhorse” for daily administrative printing and copying.

• Educational Institutions: Perfect for printing exam papers, worksheets, and notices where monochrome efficiency is more important than color.

• Logistics & Warehousing: Ideal for generating A3 packing lists, shipping manifests, and large-scale inventory reports.

Consumables & Lifecycle Value

The iR 2224 is built for long-term cost efficiency. It utilizes the Canon C-EXV 42 Black Toner, which offers a high yield of approximately 10,200 pages (at 5%–6% coverage).

• Low Total Cost of Ownership (TCO): By using high-capacity toner and a long-life drum unit, the cost per page remains exceptionally low, making it an economically sound choice for businesses with high print volumes.

• Durability: The machine is designed with a high duty cycle and minimal moving parts, reducing the frequency of technician visits and extending the overall lifespan of the device in demanding environments.
