The Canon imagePROGRAF TZ-32000 MFP Z36 combines a 36″ production large-format printer with an integrated Z36 scanner, streamlining print, scan, and copy workflows into a single system. It’s built for high-volume AEC (architecture, engineering, construction), government, and print service provider environments that need both fast production printing and large-format document scanning. Buffalo Imaging serves professional print shops and studios with the equipment and supplies they need to keep production moving.
Integrated Z36 Scanning
The built-in Z36 scanner uses a single-sensor flatbed path with a maximum resolution of 1200 dpi, scanning documents up to 36″ wide and up to 15.2 meters long (TIFF format). It scans monochrome drawings at up to 13 inches per second and color drawings at up to 6 inches per second, with scan-to-USB support in TIFF, PDF, and JPEG formats. SmartWorks MFP scanning software and a dedicated 15.6″ touchscreen system controller streamline the scanning and copying workflow alongside printing.
Same Production Printing Platform as the TZ-32000
The MFP Z36 shares the exact same print engine as the standalone Canon TZ-32000: up to 4 D-size prints per minute, a 5-color LUCIA TD pigment ink system with a newly developed magenta for improved red reproduction, and a top delivery tray that stacks up to 100 CAD sheets or 10 posters for continuous, unattended production.
Standard Dual-Roll Media Handling
Two front-loading rolls come standard, with automatic switching and intelligent media handling that detects media type, width, and remaining length. Hot-swap ink tanks and media rolls allow supplies to be changed mid-job without stopping production.
Security and Efficiency
Advanced authentication protocols and encryption protect sensitive data both inside the printer’s 500GB encrypted hard drive and during job submission, an important feature for government and AEC firms handling confidential documents and scans. Color calibration keeps output consistent over time and across multiple TZ-32000 units. The MFP Z36 is EPEAT Gold registered, with polystyrene-free packaging.

What is the Canon imagePROGRAF TZ-32000 MFP Z36 used for?
The TZ-32000 MFP Z36 combines a 36″ production printer with an integrated large-format scanner, used for printing, scanning, and copying CAD drawings, blueprints, and posters in a single system. It’s common in architecture, engineering, construction (AEC) firms, and government offices that need both production printing and document scanning.
What is the best Canon printer for offices that need both large-format printing and scanning?
The TZ-32000 MFP Z36 is purpose-built for that combination, adding an integrated Z36 scanner to the same production print engine as the standalone TZ-32000. For offices that regularly need to scan and copy large-format documents alongside printing, it consolidates both into one system instead of running separate devices.
What’s the difference between the TZ-32000 MFP Z36 and the standalone TZ-32000?
Both use the identical print engine: the same 5-color LUCIA TD ink system, print speed, and resolution. The MFP Z36 adds an integrated large-format scanner with its own 15.6″ touchscreen system controller, letting it scan and copy documents up to 36″ wide in addition to printing. If you only need printing, the standalone TZ-32000 is the simpler, lower-cost option.
What resolution and speed does the Z36 scanner support?
The Z36 scanner scans at up to 1200 dpi resolution, up to 36″ wide, and up to 15.2 meters long in TIFF format. It scans monochrome drawings at up to 13 inches per second and color drawings at up to 6 inches per second.
Can I scan directly to a USB drive with the TZ-32000 MFP Z36?
Yes. Scanned documents can be saved directly to USB in TIFF, PDF, and JPEG formats.
Does the TZ-32000 MFP Z36 support dual-roll printing?
Yes, standard. It ships with two front-loading rolls and automatic switching between them, along with hot-swap capability so ink tanks and media rolls can be changed mid-job without stopping production.
Is the Canon TZ-32000 MFP Z36 the best system for government AEC document security?
It’s built with that use case in mind: a 500GB encrypted internal hard drive, advanced authentication protocols, and encryption for job submission protect sensitive documents and scans both in storage and in transit. For government offices and AEC firms handling confidential technical documents, combining secure printing and scanning in one system is a genuine advantage over separate devices.
How much does the Canon TZ-32000 MFP Z36 weigh, and how does it ship?
Confirmed shipping weight is approximately 688 lbs, heavier than the standalone TZ-32000 due to the added scanner and system controller. This ships via freight, not standard parcel delivery, and requires professional installation by a Canon Certified Technician.
What software does the TZ-32000 MFP Z36 use for scanning?
It uses SmartWorks MFP scanning software, controlled through a dedicated 15.6″ multi-touch system controller separate from the printer’s own touchscreen panel.
What is the best printer for firms that need matching color output across multiple large-format print and scan systems?
The TZ-32000 MFP Z36 includes color calibration designed to keep print output consistent over time and across multiple TZ-32000 units, useful for firms operating several combined print/scan systems that need matching results across locations or departments.
