The uniFLOW platform is an end-to-end printing, scanning, and device management solution that can help improve the control and efficiency of imageRUNNER ADVANCE and other compatible multifunctional printer devices, in addition to providing security features.
The platform provides business employees the ability to control and monitor access to sensitive information with its enhanced authentication and user tracking features.
To help limit unauthorized use of devices, uniFLOW requires users to identify themselves at a device.
When using this function, regardless of how users submit a print job, documents only print when the user is physically standing at the device and authenticates.
Its Secure Print functionality allows users to send sensitive documents to network printers from desktops and compatible mobile devices.
With uniFLOW Online 2018.1, enterprises and employees can enjoy the combination of printing and scanning with security features, as well as cost tracking features, without needing to invest in a server infrastructure for this solution.
With the new scan subscription and the goal to help foster workplace flexibility given the rising remote working trends in the Office of the Future, users can now scan directly to any of the following cloud-based destinations: Box®, Google Drive®, Microsoft OneDrive®/OneDrive® for Business, Dropbox®, Evernote®, and Microsoft SharePoint® Online.

uniFLOW Online 2018.1 and the latest update of the Canon imageRUNNER ADVANCE firmware will release together to simplify the setup and configuration of these new solutions into a workflow environment.
With the firmware update, customers can install the required MEAP applets and establish the connection to a uniFLOW Online tenant directly via a new button on the device’s user interface.
By using personal, authenticated print queues, the enhanced uniFLOW Online 2018.1 solution allows employees to print confidential documents to a compatible, networked imageRUNNER ADVANCE MFP from compatible mobile devices from virtually any location.
The Single Sign on to Cloud Service function allows users to access and scan documents directly to themselves, or into their cloud storage account, without entering an ID or password.
uniFLOW Online 2018.1 aims to improve workplace productivity by giving administrators the ability to track and assess printing, copying, faxing and scanning costs directly within the cloud.

Reporting capabilities and a real-time online dashboard can allow administrators to pinpoint areas in need of attention or adjustments to workflow.
As with all uniFLOW editions, administrators will be able to restrict printer access to authorized users only, helping to limit the misuse of print, scan, copy and fax functionalities by unauthorized users.
Employees will additionally be able to save time by modifying finishing options before their print jobs are released.
Administrators can allocate costs to individual users.
The updated uniFLOW Online 2018.1 is compatible with Canon imageRUNNER ADVANCE products and select imageCLASS solutions and is available now through Canon authorized dealer channels and Canon Solutions America.
