Overview

About the imageFORCE C331FZ

The imageFORCE C331FZ is the finisher model of the entry point to Canon's C611 series — a 34-page-per-minute color A4 multifunction system with a built-in stapling finisher, for smaller workspaces that want collated, stapled sets without giving up desk space. It prints 34 ppm on letter and 29 ppm on legal, produces a first color copy in as little as 6.3 seconds, and is otherwise identical to the C331F. The finisher is factory-configured and cannot be added to an F model later.

The C611 series prints at up to 1200 × 1200 dpi equivalent with high-quality toner for vivid, high-impact color. The single-pass duplex scanner captures both sides of a page at up to 200 images per minute and sends searchable PDFs or editable Word and PowerPoint files to email, folders, USB, or the cloud. Print from Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, and Chrome OS devices with AirPrint, Mopria, Universal Print, or the Canon PRINT app — no driver required. Paper capacity starts at 650 sheets and grows to 2,300 with optional cassettes; every source handles Legal-size stock.

Every imageFORCE model shares the same 10.1-inch touchscreen interface and Canon's Unified Firmware Platform, so the device keeps gaining features through regular updates and anyone trained on one imageFORCE can run another. Print, copy, scan, send, store, and Super G3 fax are all standard.

Key features

What it does well

  • Sharp, vivid color at full speed

    Up to 1200 × 1200 dpi equivalent output with high-quality toner for vivid color and sharp text. The engine raises laser exposure frequency at speed, so quality holds at 34 pages a minute.

  • Single-pass duplex scanning to searchable files

    Both sides of a page in one pass at up to 200 ipm from the 100-sheet feeder, including business cards. Scans go to email, network folders, USB, mobile devices, or the cloud as searchable PDF, PDF/A, or editable Word and PowerPoint files.

  • Print from any device

    AirPrint, Mopria, IPP Everywhere, Canon PRINT, Universal Print, and the optional Cloud Connector — phones, tablets, and laptops print without a driver install. PCL, PostScript 3, and UFR II are standard.

  • Security designed into the device

    Secure Print and Forced Hold keep jobs at the device until the owner signs in. Verify System at Startup checks firmware for tampering, storage is encrypted to FIPS 140-3 on a TPM 2.0 platform, Trellix™ Embedded Control whitelists what can run, and SIEM integration feeds your monitoring.

  • Built-in stapling in a compact footprint

    A built-in two-tray finisher corner-staples up to 50 sheets and offsets sets, with 900 sheets of output capacity — in a chassis under 20 inches wide that runs stock to 8-1/2 × 14, envelopes, and 79 lb cover.

  • One interface across the whole lineup

    A large 10.1-inch responsive touchscreen with color-coded icons and customizable language, accessibility, and display settings — the same on every imageFORCE model, so staff trained on one can run another.

  • Low-impact by design

    Efficient fusing and low-melting-point toner keep energy use down. ENERGY STAR® certified and rated EPEAT Gold, and shipped in recyclable cardboard packaging instead of foam.

Included with every system

What comes with it when you buy from ABC

The imageFORCE C331FZ is the same everywhere. What's different is the 44 years of local service behind it.

  • Delivery, setup, and network install

    We deliver, unbox, place, and connect the device to your network and every workstation that needs it. You print the first page before we leave.

  • On-site training for your team

    A Canon-certified technician walks your staff through the panel, scanning workflows, and the everyday things that generate service calls when nobody explains them.

  • Genuine Canon toner, auto-shipped

    Supplies ship before you run out, based on your device's own meter readings. Genuine Canon consumables only, so your warranty and image quality stay intact.

  • Same-day service standard

    Local technicians dispatched from our office in Old Hickory, not a national ticket queue. Average response is under four hours.

  • Plain-language agreements

    Lease, rent, or buy. Separate color and mono cost-per-page, no hidden escalators, and a person who answers questions about the contract by name.

  • One dedicated account manager

    The same person from proposal through the life of the system. They know your account, your volumes, and when it's time to talk about what's next.
