Features
Integrated Stand
The scanner stand connects directly to the printer stand to create a one piece structure and to reduce the total footprint of the Canon imagePROGRAF iPF780 MFP large format printer. The redesigned stand gives the user the flexibility to use as an "all in one" configuration or to be set up as an independent scanner stand. There are now also options for the imagePROGRAF iPF780 MFP’s monitor incorporated into the new design. The user can choose whether to place the monitor on the right or left side of the stand, as well as whether to use a straight or swing-arm orientation. When the monitor is set up using a swing-arm orientation, it can be positioned in two different heights. This single stand design eliminates the need to move the wide format printer and scanner piece by piece when setting up or relocating the MFP.
