They say that small packages yield big surprises and this is true of this Canon MFP. It has a single Canon toner cartridge system, an ADF and a plain paper cassette that will hold as much as 250 sheets of paper. The document feeder will hold 50 copies and the input paper tray is front loading. It is an absolute pleasure to use this machine which makes copies ant prints at 21 pages per minute. Your faxes are transmitted from your PC to the fax feature through a Super 3G modem at 33.6Kbps.

Tone-on-tone clarity in the scan feature will ensure you of high class imaging with 1200 x 2400 dpi (optical), 42-bit CCD (charged coupled device) color.

It is network ready and comes with a built in Ethernet feature which ensures you, and your entire office or workgroup can all share the remarkable features of this printer through the network.

The toner cartridge is simple to remove and replace and it prints approximately 2500 black copies. This is on an average yield of 5% coverage on an A4 sized paper, it has a duty cycle of 7500 copies per month. Zoom is increased and decreased in 1% increments starting at 50% and ending at 100%, and it can enlarge and reduce five different percentages. The thing I really like about this printer is the toner save feature, which is great for your pocket and even better for the environment.

The maximum document size in the ADF is 8.5" x 14" and on the platen this is 8.5" x 11.7". The fax resolution is up to 406 x 391 dpi, and the fax feature has a 256 page transmission reception memory.

However this is without the attachments such as the document feed, paper cassette tray and print output tray. It weights a mere 31.3 pounds and can easily be moved by one person. This relatively small footprint means that the machine does not take up a great deal of space and is ideal for small office space.
