Canon imagePROGRAF TM-355 MFP Z36 Printer and Scanner
Canon imagePROGRAF TM-355 MFP Z36 combines a 36-inch CAD and poster printer with Canon’s faster, higher-resolution Z36 scanner and a dedicated 15.6-inch touchscreen controller. It is designed for architecture, engineering, construction, government and reprographics teams that need productive scanning, copying, archiving and large-format printing in one system.
The Z36 configuration is the premium scanning option for the TM-355. It adds faster capture, longer scan files, higher scanner resolution and the dedicated SmartWorks controller. Unlike the TM-350, the TM-355 also includes a 500 GB encrypted printer hard drive and direct PDF printing.

High-Speed Z36 Scanning for Production Workflows
The Z36 scans 24-bit color documents at up to 3 inches per second at 200 dpi and grayscale or monochrome documents at up to 13 inches per second. Color copying can reach 6 inches per second, making the Z36 significantly faster than the Lm36 scanner.
Maximum scanner resolution is 1200 dpi. It captures images up to 36 inches wide from documents up to 38 inches wide and supports originals from approximately 0.07 to 1.0 mm thick.
Long-Document Scanning and SmartWorks MFP
The Z36 supports scan lengths up to approximately 315 inches for JPEG or PDF and 598 inches for TIFF. This capacity helps teams archive long technical drawings, maps and site plans that exceed standard architectural sheet lengths.
SmartWorks MFP software provides scan, copy, edit and file-management controls through the included 15.6-inch multitouch system controller. The controller includes a 256 GB SSD, 8 GB DDR4 memory and USB and Gigabit Ethernet connections.
Fast TM-355 CAD and Poster Printing
The printer produces a D-size 24 × 36 inch CAD drawing in approximately 17 seconds, or about 3.2 pages per minute in its fastest supported setting. Its PF-06 print head and 2400 × 1200 dpi resolution support accurate line work, readable annotations and vivid presentation graphics.
The Z36 upgrade improves scanning rather than print speed. Customers who only scan occasionally may prefer the simpler Lm36 configuration, while teams scanning plans throughout the day receive more value from the Z36.
5-Color LUCIA TD Pigment Ink
The five-color ink system uses Matte Black, Black, Cyan, Magenta and Yellow pigment inks. Matte Black supports dense CAD lines on plain paper, while the updated magenta formulation improves red color reproduction for maps, posters and presentation materials.
The printer accepts PFI-120/PFI-121 130 mL tanks and PFI-320/PFI-321 300 mL tanks. Browse Canon ink to prepare a replacement set for the TM-355.
Automatic Media Detection and Connected Workflows
Automatic media detection identifies paper type, roll width and remaining length. The single-roll printer handles media from 8 to 36 inches wide and includes an automatic rotary cutter for roll output.
Built-in Wi-Fi, Gigabit Ethernet, high-speed USB and direct USB thumb-drive printing support shared production environments. The TM-355 supports PDF in addition to HP-GL/2, HP RTL, JPEG, CALS G4 and Canon SGRaster. Canon utilities include Direct Print Plus, Free Layout Plus, PosterArtist, Accounting Manager, Device Management Console and Media Configuration Tool.
