Design

The Canon L60 printer is not exactly a lightweight device because it weighs 8.6Kg, but it is fairly compact at 24.2cm tall and 36.5 inches wide, which makes it easy to set-up and place on a standard desktop. It runs on 1.4MB of memory and prints on plain paper with a monochrome laser engine. The control panel's centrepiece is a 1-line, 16-character mono display screen, which guides users in operating and configuring the device. Connecting the L60 to a PC is easy with a parallel cord.

Advantages

Media handling is more versatile. This model can be used for printing envelopes and transparencies. PC connection is available on the Canon L60 laser fax. The L60 fax printer remains compliant with the Energy Star standards, making it cost-efficient to run. Copy speeds are acceptable at 6ppm. The Canon L-60 fax machine is also praised for its compact, space-saving design. For a discount on the Fax-L60 consumables users can purchase a compatible Canon L60 fax toner made from recycled materials.

Disadvantages

The Canon L60 printer is slow when compared to other fax machines because the maximum transmission speed is only 14.4Kbps, while the resolution is limited to 203dpi. Like other Canon fax machines, the L60 fax is missing a handset, which prevents it from being used as a telephone. Printing, faxing, copying, and scanning can only be done in monochrome. The Canon Fax-L60 is only compatible with older versions of Windows such as 98, NT 4.0, and 95.
