This compact multifunction device is reliable enough for the copy and scan needs of a small office. The Canon IR-1018J laser printer is an intelligent all-in-one with reasonably fast print speeds for the basic document printing needs of shared users, but it can only print in monochrome and lacks some essential features, which compromised its overall efficiency for workgroups and individual users alike.
Design
The Canon IR-1018J copier printer is distinctive for its unusual design, which includes an elevated flatbed scanner and a steady control panel underneath. A small display screen makes it easy to determine the machine's status while guiding users in operating the device when scanning or copying. The Canon IR1018J multifunction printer uses a laser print engine with 64MB of memory.
Advantages
The 600-sheet paper capacity is more than enough for a small business. For bulk printing, users can increase the paper capacity of the Canon IR-1018J printer to 1,110 sheets and produce up to 99 copies of a document from the original. The copy and print speeds are fairly fast, at up to 18ppm. The compact frame of the Canon IR 1018J makes it suitable for a cramped desktop or an office desk with limited space. Groups can also share the IR1018J printer in a network.
Disadvantages
The Canon IR-1018J monochrome laser printer is rather heavy, weighing approximately 22kg, so it needs to be placed on a sturdy and stable surface. The built-in memory of the Canon IR-1018J cannot be expanded, and media handling is very limited to plain paper and envelopes. The Canon IR1018J printer might not be the best choice for creative workgroups that need high-quality colour printing because it can only print in monochrome.
