The Canon IRC-5051i is a network-friendly multifunction printer with an intuitive user interface and high-yield consumables that promise lower running costs. The Canon IR-C5051i multifunction printer is able to print in colour, making it suitable for creative workgroups or businesses that require highly detailed graphics and colourful text to impress, while expandability options make the IRC-501i laser printer ideal for a growing office. However, the Canon IRC-5051i office colour printer is an expensive machine.
Design
The Canon ImageRUNNER ADVANCE IRC-5051i printer is the improved version of a previous model but it is designed differently with a larger and bulkier footprint, which demands more installation space. Some features were retained on the Canon IRC5051i colour printer, such as the large display screen, bottom paper cassettes, and output trays. This colour MFP uses four replacement Canon CEXV28 toner cartridges which work in separate colour slots for black, cyan, magenta or yellow.
Advantages
It prints in speeds of up to 51ppm in monochrome and colour. Users can fax, copy, and scan using one convenient device. Multiple users can share the Canon ImageRUNNER C5051i within a network. The 8.4-inch display screen can be adjusted and the two menus allow for easier configuration. The Canon IRC-5051i colour laser printer is also equipped with advanced security features, internal finishing options, and two default paper cassettes.
Disadvantages
The Canon IRC-5051i colour copier is specifically aimed at small workgroups and departments, but the high initial cost could cause them to overspend on a multifunction printer when they could find cheaper but equally efficient alternatives from the same brand. Two menus could make the Canon IRC 5051i digital photocopier intimidating to operate especially for the first time.
