Canon Copier Imageclass Mf4100 - Flatbed Three In One Device

This laser flatbed three in one device, the Canon Copier ImageClass MF4100, operates with impressive print speed for its category, clocking in at 20 pages per minute, as well as offers eye catching features for copying, and scanning as well, making it an excellent buy for those looking for a multifunctional center that does not include a fax modem.

The Canon Copier ImageClass MF4100 is the first in Canons 4100 series, whose other models include the fax capable Canon Copier ImageClass MF4140 and MF4150. The MF4100 has all the same key hardware, but without the Super G3 fax modem, making it the cost effective choice for home offices or small businesses without the need for a fax line.

Canons single cartridge system incorporates all toner elements into a single unit thereby eliminating hassle and staggered toner and drum changes. The Canon Copier ImageClass MF4100 comes in box with a starter cartridge with a 1000 sheet yield, but additional cartridges offer twice the toner supply, at 2000 pages. Also, when the intelligent toner saver mode is utilized, single toner yield jumps up to 3000 pages. With a maximum monthly duty cycle of 10,000 printed pages, toner changes may come often when the Canon Copier ImageClass MF4100 is pushed to its limits, yet swap outs are made simple thanks to Canons innovative design.

The Canon Copier ImageClass MF4100 not only comes standard with duplexing capabilities, it also has a selectable automatic double sided printing mode that can help reduce total paper usage to almost one fourth of other printers. The way it works is by combining duplex, double sided printing and a reduction mode that allows for 2 on 1 printing. This allows four input pages to be shrunk to 50% size, and then doubled up on either side of a single piece of paper. This feature is useful when creating professional looking booklets and pamphlets.

With a quick time to first copy of only 9 seconds, wait time is reduced to a minimum, and additional copies will reproduce at a speedy 20 copies per minute. Copy resolutions also run high, with 1200 x 600 dots per inch and the same quality for printing. Scanning resolutions lack some at only 600 x 600 dots per inch, but with user friendly features such as dust and scratch removal and scan to E mail or PDF make using the scanner easy to use, and effective.

Color scanning is also optional, at a depth of 24 bits, though all other functions operate in monochrome. A Hi Speed USB port allows for standard PC or Mac interfacing to a single computer, and networking capabilities are optional when an additional AXIS 1650 network device is incorporated, which allows all functions to be network operational, including scanning.

Paper capacities consist of a 250 sheet document tray, as well as a 100 sheet output tray. Also included in the hardware is a single sheet multi function slot for a variety of non standard media types such as envelopes or transparencies, making the Canon Copier ImageClass MF4100 one of the most versatile machines on the market for its size, and price range.
