Targeted at mid-level and large offices, the Canon ImageRUNNER AVDANCE 2270 is a good choice for a dedicated monochrome printer and copier, with the added bonus of a fax machine and a scanner. This all-in-one device is built for heavy duty work, capable of handling as many as 80,000 impressions per month. The Canon IR-2270 multifunction printer has upgradeable memory and paper capacity, ideal for the growing demands of the workgroup. It can be networked, though it is not the fastest printer, averaging only 28 ppm. However, this model is only capable of printing black and white documents.
Design
The Canon IR-2270 is a large printer with many upgrade options. The ImageRUNNER ADVANCE IR-2270 printer features a built-in 512 MB RAM which should be enough for light to heavy duty print work. However, those who need more memory capacity may opt for a memory upgrade. The IR 2270 printer features an ADF unit and a duplexer. The paper drawers go beneath the print engine and additional cassettes may be purchased for a larger paper capacity. The Canon IR-2270 copier printer also features a digital scanner and copier. The black Canon IR2270 toner cartridge has a print yield of approximately 21,000 pages.
Advantages
Its large built-in RAM makes the Canon IR-2270 black and white multifunction printer very suitable for heavy duty work. With its large memory capacity, it can reserve as many as 5 copy tasks on queue while the fax feature supports 100 mailboxes. Additionally, the Canon IR2270 mono laser printer offers fast fax transmission, capable of sending and receiving fax messages in less than 3 seconds per page. Print rates from the Canon IR2270 multifunction printer are not the fastest, but are still acceptable, averaging 28 ppm.
Disadvantages
Monochrome printing remains to be a limitation for the Canon IR-2270 office printer. The IR-2270 laser printer does not support colour printing, though the extra features like the ADF, duplexer, and other optional upgrades are enough to consider the unit for office use.
