This copier can handle paper sized A4 and lower as well as envelopes, labels, and transparencies. Canon FC-128 toner is available in both genuine and compatible formats.

Advantages

The Canon FC-128 is a small and simple copier that would be ideal for a home user who needs the occasional copy made and doesn't have a need for other computer peripherals. While this is an old and slow unit by modern standards, it still does the job of making copies just fine and may be available in a used or refurbished format for very little money. The simple interface and limited options make this unit ideal for someone who really only needs to make simple copies a few times a month. Canon FC-128 toner is inexpensive and lasts for 4,000 pages, double the copier's monthly duty cycle.

Disadvantages

The Canon FC-128 is unsuitable for most modern business needs due to older techonlogy and an incredibly slow and limited interface. While this unit may suffice for the occasional copy of a receipt or bill, it will not stand up to the needs of even low use in an office or home office environment.
