The Canon IR-C3520i is a multifunction colour laser beam printer with a copier and scanner incorporated. It is an ideal printer for a busy workplace that needs to print up to A3 size. The device management tools allow printing operations to be centrally managed for maximum efficiency and security. Printing quality is good, and for a professional finish, there are a number of options, including stapling and hole punching. It is possible to print from a number of different devices, including smart devices, which is ideal for many modern workplaces. However, the fax function does not come as automatic, so if this is an option that is required, it will need to be factored into the cost.
