Canon’s imageFORCE C3100 series is a colour A3 multifunction line aimed at busy mid-volume offices that need strong image quality, fast single-pass scanning, and a compact main unit — without giving up the security and workflow options modern fleets expect. On Automation One’s catalogue today, the listed model from this class is the imageFORCE C3150 (50 ppm black-and-white and colour), with the related imageFORCE C3026 (26 ppm) also available to compare.
What the C3100 series is built for
The C3100 series sits in Canon’s mid-volume colour A3 multifunction range: print, copy, scan, send, and store as core functions, with optional fax. Canon materials for the series cite print resolution up to 4800 × 2400 dpi using D² Exposure OLED imaging technology, and single-pass duplex scanning up to 270 ipm (black-and-white/colour at 300 dpi send).
Standard paper capacity is listed at 1,200 sheets, expandable to a maximum of 6,350 sheets. The series ships with a 10.1″ colour touch panel, 5.0 GB RAM, and a 256 GB SSD (optional 1 TB). Canon materials also cite ENERGY STAR® certification and an EPEAT® Gold rating, plus cardboard main-unit packaging in place of conventional foam.
What Automation One lists today
Automation One’s live products catalogue currently lists the Canon imageFORCE C3150 (A3, 50 ppm black-and-white and colour) in this mid-volume colour class, along with the related imageFORCE C3026 (A3, 26 ppm). We are not treating every possible C3100-series speed tier as an Automation One catalogue SKU — if a model is not on automationone.ca/products, ask us before assuming local availability or lead time.
For Metro Vancouver offices, the practical conversation is model fit: right-size colour A3 speed to your volume, keep scanning and media handling in one hub, and pair the device with the security and cloud options your IT team actually needs. Automation One can walk your team through finishing options and a no-pressure recommendation for how a C3150 — or the related C3026 — would work on your floor.
