A 36-inch CAD plotter and large-format scanner for redlines, as-builts, and check sets
- Scan, copy, and print from one system. The Z36 scanner ships with a mount for the printer, and Canon says it adds high-volume scanning without sacrificing additional space.
- Fast monochrome scanning. Canon lists 13 inches per second in monochrome and 3 inches per second in color at 200 dpi, with a 15.6-inch touchscreen controller.
- Scan to file, copy, or email. SmartWorks MFP software handles scan-to-copy, file, and email with a real-time image viewer, and supports TIFF, JPEG, and PDF.
- Long scans and thicker originals. The Z36 scans up to 164 feet as PDF, 315 inches as JPEG, or 598 inches as TIFF, and takes media up to 1.0 mm thick.
- Less downtime. Canon says hot-swap ink tanks and user-installable printheads and maintenance cartridges help keep downtime low.
- Faster check sets. Canon rates printing at up to 3.3 ARCH D prints per minute, measured after the first print in Fast Q5 mode on plain paper.
- Second roll or take-up reel. The optional multifunction roll unit adds a second roll of media or works as a take-up reel for continuous printing.
Who this is not for: The TX-3310 MFP Z36 prints and scans up to 36 inches wide, and the scanner is a separate unit with its own system controller. If you only print and never scan, look at the TX-3300.

*Canon measures print speed after the first print in Fast Q5 mode on plain paper, based on internal testing. Speed varies with the number of copies and the size, type, and orientation of the paper.
**Canon says line accuracy repeatability is guaranteed after a user performs the necessary adjustment under the same environmental conditions, and applies to line-drawing media only (plain paper, coated paper, CAD translucent matte film, and CAD tracing paper).
***Canon says scan rate is proportional across the supported resolutions, actual scan times depend on host system performance, and quoted top speeds may be limited by USB 2 bandwidth and are not guaranteed for all media types. ****Scan accuracy may vary with the operating environment and media thickness. *****Canon lists the multipositional flat stacking basket as expected to be available in Q4 2026.
The TX-3310 MFP Z36 system contains multiple components, some made by third parties. Canon says any limited warranties that come with those components pass to the purchaser.
