User Manual
FAQ
What is the maximum print width of the Canon imagePROGRAF TM-340?
The Canon imagePROGRAF TM-340 has a maximum print width of 36 inches (914.40 mm). This wide format is designed for producing large-scale technical drawings, architectural plans, engineering schematics, posters, and presentation materials without the need for tiling or拼接 smaller sheets together.
How many ink colors does this printer use, and what are the benefits?
This printer utilizes a 5-color ink system. Compared to standard 4-color (CMYK) printers, the additional color, often a photo black or gray ink, provides a wider color gamut for more vibrant and accurate color prints. It also significantly improves monochrome output by producing smoother grayscale transitions, deeper blacks, and reducing graininess, which is critical for detailed technical line work and architectural plans.
What types of connectivity options are available?
The TM-340 offers versatile connectivity for flexible office integration. It includes a USB port for direct computer connection, a built-in Ethernet port for reliable wired network sharing among multiple users, and Wireless LAN for convenient printing from laptops and mobile devices. It also supports Apple AirPrint, allowing seamless printing directly from iPhones, iPads, and Macs without installing additional drivers.
What media sizes and types can this large format printer handle?
This printer supports an extensive range of media. It accepts roll paper and cut sheets in widths from 8 inches up to its full 36-inch capacity. Supported standard sizes include ISO A0, A1, A2, A3 and JIS B1, B2, B3. It can print on various media types, including plain paper for drafts, thick media for final presentations, and both roll paper for long continuous prints and cut sheets for standard-sized documents.
Is the printer stand included, and what is the form factor?
Yes, a printer stand is included in the box. The Canon imagePROGRAF TM-340 is designed as a floor-standing printer. The stand is an integral part of the setup, providing the necessary stability and correct working height for the large-format mechanism. This creates a complete, ready-to-use station that doesn't require a separate table or cabinet, optimizing floor space in a print room or technical office.
What is the primary intended use or application for this printer?
The Canon imagePROGRAF TM-340 is primarily designed for Computer-Aided Design (CAD) and technical documentation applications. It is ideal for architecture, engineering, construction, and manufacturing firms that need to produce large, high-precision drawings like blueprints, schematics, site plans, and mechanical drawings. Its high resolution, media versatility, and network connectivity also make it suitable for creating high-quality presentation posters, signage, and detailed reports.
