A mid-range mono-laser printer for offices with mid-volume printing needs, the Canon MF-4430 offers quality printing and copy and scan functions at the same time. This space saving workhorse provides added efficiency in the office, especially with its 23 ppm average print rate. The Canon i-SENSYS MF-4430 laser printer uses a high-capacity toner cartridge, which can yield a maximum of 2,100 pages before needing replacement. This unit is capable of networking, but it only prints monochrome and does not have fax features.
Design
The Canon MF4430 laser multifunction printer is essentially the same machine as the older MF4420, only it offers a built-in automatic document feeder, which makes scanning and copying loose pages easier and faster. The i-SENSYS MF-4430 features a flatbed scanner with a maximum resolution of up to 9600x9600 dpi. The same flatbed functions as a digital copier, which produces 600x600 dpi duplicates. The Canon MF-4430 printer has a 64 MB memory and the copy function can fit 4 duplicates in a single sheet.
Advantages
The Canon MF-4430 mono laser printer features a wide range of additional functions, starting from automatic document feeding to document enlargement and reduction. The MF-4430 multifunction printer even offers versatile media handling options, although media with different sizes need to be manually fed through the single-sheet multipurpose tray. Toner cartridges have high yields, and the printer can produce consistent resolutions up to 1200x600 dpi.
Disadvantages
While the Canon i-SENSYS MF-4430 laser multifunction printer is a good choice for small to mid-size offices, it lacks fax capabilities and can only print in black and white, which means an additional colour printer would be needed for colour-print projects.
