uniFLOW Online 2025.2, released in May 2025, brings several key updates from Canon: support for Windows Modern Print Platform and ARM PCs, expanded fleet support, and enhanced cloud integrations. Let’s unpack what this means for users and IT teams.

1. Windows Modern Print & ARM PC Support

  • Modern Print Platform: Enables secure printing on Windows PCs using Microsoft’s new IPP-based model (replacing V3/V4 drivers). Compatible with printers supporting Mopria.
  • ARM64 PCs: The uniFLOW Online Virtual Printer app works seamlessly on Windows 11 24H2 ARM PCs, aligning with Microsoft’s Windows Protected Print initiative.

2. Multi-Vendor Device Expansion

  • Sharp Embedded Applets: Native support added for Sharp MFPs—expanding from Canon and Lexmark to new fleet options—especially critical for Zero Trust environments.

3. “Scan to NetDocuments”

  • Users can now scan from Canon devices to NetDocuments, addressing a major need for law firms and legal departments.

4. Multi‑Cloud Environment Integration

  • Multiple M365 Tenants: Connect multiple Exchange Online, SharePoint Online, and OneDrive for Business accounts simultaneously—great for enterprises with dispersed teams or subsidiaries.

5. Zero Trust & Security Enhancements

  • Works in fully isolated Zero Trust environments.
  • Secure Virtual Printer ensures end-to-end encryption per Microsoft security guidelines.

Why These Updates Matter

  1. Future‑proof Print InfrastructureAs Microsoft transitions printing toward IPP-based models and ARM PC adoption grows, uniFLOW Online stays compatible and secure.
  2. Broader Device SupportAdding Sharp expands fleet coverage, easing management across mixed environments and streamlining IT oversight.
  3. Streamlined Legal WorkflowsNative NetDocuments scanning cuts steps, reduces errors, and embeds compliance directly into workflows.
  4. Scalable Cloud IntegrationSupport for multiple M365 environments caters to complex enterprise IT architectures.

Considerations for Adoption

  • Fleet RequirementsEnsure your MFPs support Modern Print or are Sharp-enabled for applet support.
  • Modern Print AdoptionPlan for driver updates and user testing as organizations shift to IPP printing.
