The Canon IRC-3380i is a cost-effective monochrome printer with an optional colour feature. It is integrated with advanced security features, professional finishing options, and networking capabilities, but it is a bulky and heavy machine that might take up a lot of space in a small office.
Design
The Canon IRC-3380i is an intelligent printer with 1.5GB of memory and an 80GB hard disk that runs on a 533MHz and 400MHz processor. The IRC3380i can be connected to a computer using USB 2.0 or Ethernet. The Canon IRC 3380i copier printer's standard resolution is only 600x600dpi, and scan resolution ranges from 100dpi to 600dpi.
Advantages
This Canon printer is fairly fast with speeds of 30 ppm in monochrome. The Canon IRC-3380i copier boasts a standard automatic stackless duplexing feature, too. Users can easily integrate the device into a network. Automatic colour sensing (ACS) helps save ink and money by activating the colour ink feature only when it is necessary. Finishing options meant for professional settings and advanced security features are also present in the Canon IRC-3380i. It is possible to scan to fax, email, PC, or WebDAV using the technology built-in to the IRC-3380i laser printer.
Disadvantages
The Canon IRC-3380i is a heavyweight at 116 kg, and it measures 565x755x791mm (WxDxH), so it may take up a lot more space than it should in a small office. Some of the advanced management tools integrated into this device may not necessarily be useful for basic bulk printing jobs. The optional colour printing feature of the Canon IRC-3380i might be a waste of money for offices that require monochrome printing only. Some users may find 38 seconds of warm-up time slow.
