Canon IR-1018 Printer Review
Expert review of the Canon IR-1018 printer
Our Verdict:
Designed for a small or medium-sized workplace, the Canon IR-1018 boasts a smaller footprint with a compact frame and an easy-to-use interface for workgroups and single users alike. The Canon IR-1018 laser printer is straightforward and offers black-and-white printing, reasonable print speeds, and resource-saving features, but it is quite expensive and offers limited paper handling.
Design
The Canon IR-1018 copier is a compact A4 all-in-one that weighs approximately 22kg and measures 520mm wide, 378mm tall, and 457mm deep. It can connect to a single PC via USB or be integrated into a network via Ethernet. The IR1018 printer runs on 128MB of memory and a 192MHz Canon custom processor. The control panel is well laid-out on the top centre of the paper cassette area, with a small display screen to view the printer status, and one-touch buttons for copying and scanning. The flatbed scanner is elevated on the topmost part of the IR-1018.
Advantages
This multifunction device is a good choice for small offices with limited space for a larger all-in-one. The IR-1018 efficiently prints double-sided documents with its DADF at high quality 1200dpi resolution. The Canon IR-1018 black and white office printer is easy to set-up, easy to operate, and can be shared by an Ethernet-based network. Print speeds are fairly fast for its size, at up to 18ppm. The Canon IR 1018 is also praised for its environment-friendly features such as auto-energy save.
Disadvantages
The Canon IR1018 monochrome laser printer doesn't offer built-in Wi-Fi connectivity and an OCR software for the scanner. Users can upgrade the device to include a pedestal, a card reader, and a network kit, but that would mean additional expenses. Some users find the Canon IR-1018 inefficient for their needs because of the absence of colour printing.
