Yes, a few. And some errors too. But I've been traveling.
If I post them, are you going to edit the original post?
yup, always looking to have best info & most accurate info possible and you have been a valued contributor!! Kudos.

Here's some comment / corrections.
Corrections
- Rounded Square vs. Round Square (picky, I know)
- Rear "omni-directional design". Haven't heard of this before. But the rear is more accessible for service persons, with fewer screws and many slot-in features.
- Screen. 10.4 inch is standard on C9000 PRO series; optional on C7000 series (8.4 inch is standard).
- pQ toner - not identical to imagePRESS, but similar. Developed specifically for imageRUNNER ADVANCE.
- Document Feeder. C9000 PRO/C7000 Series- Up to 200/140 IMP in BW/Color. (not just C7065)
- Media Reader. Suports SD card, Memory Stick, Compact Flash, and MicroDrive. IrDA / print from cell phone not supported.
- Universal Send is standard, not optional.
- Fax Lines. Not Single / Dual line. Supports up to four fax lines. And Remote Fax (more below)
- Print options. UFRII is standardn not PCL. PCL and PS are separate options (PS formerly required PCL as well). EFI RIPs also available.
- Toner replacement on the fly. *ALL* imageRUNNER ADVANCE devices support toner replacement while the device is operating, not just C7000 series. Includes C9000 Pro, C7000, and C5000 series devices.
Comments
- Color. Designed to be soothing and integrate seamlessly into the office environment vs. shouting "I'm here!" It is much darker then previous Canon devices.
- Materials. In addition to recycled plastic, also uses plant-based bio-plastic in some parts for CO2 reduction.
- LCD. In addition to background changes, the number and order of UI buttons displayed can be changed.
- Menus. Now offers Main Menu for applications, and Quick Menu for shortcuts, which can be Shared or Personal.
- Network Fax. iR-ADV devices can use Network Fax, where a fax board(s) is installed in one host iR-ADV, and other client devices on the network send fax traffic through the host. This reduces the cost of phone lines at each device to support fax.
- Advanced Box. A new file sharing / collaboration space that's standard on iR-ADV. Allows for storing of any type of file on the device hard drive, and can be accessed via walk-up or a PC. Basically a networked hard drive. Printable file types can be stored / retrieved from the local panel, and users can link into the Advanced Box of a remote iR-ADV on the network. Co-exists with the familiar Mailbox.
- HDD Backup. Optional Mirroring kit backs up contents of the entire HDD to a second HDD in a RAID 1 backup. If one drive fails, the other immediately takes over with no downtime.
- HDD options. HDDs can be upgraded to larger capacities for more Advanced Box storage.
- Workflow Composer w/ MEAP Connectors. Allows for sending documents to back-end systems with index values, such as Microsoft Sharepoint.
- Contextual Login. Allows for each user to access certain functions based on their login rights, while also allowing for some functions (like copy) to remain open for all users.
- OCR. Scan to PowerPoint format is called OOXML. It creates an editable Powerpoint document.
- Adobe PDF Reader Extentions support. Creates a PDF file from a scan that can be electronically marked up using the free Acrobat Reader. Otherwise, full Acrobat is required at a significant cost per PC.

That's a fantastic run down on this awesome box!! Kudos
I just came across your blog and wanted to drop you a note telling you how impressed I was with the information you have posted here.
Keep up the great work, you are providing a great resource on the Internet here!
Dear All,
I am facing a problem printing a PPT file from an UFRII driver in iR ADV 5030. The prints come in B/W even after selecting color or the prints end up as error in the job status window. Please suggest.
