Canon NP-1215 Toner Cartridges
NP-1215 Printer Review
Expert review of the NP-1215 printer
The Canon NP 1215 is a monochrome photocopier that offers A4, A5 and B5 options. It is a sturdy, reliable machine with a compact footprint - it will not take up too much office space and will fulfil a moderate demand of copying. Utilising thermal fusion technology, the copies are clear with crisp black text that is free from smudges. A number of eco-friendly modes helps to keep costs low and reduces the environmental footprint of the machine. The main drawback of this Canon copier is the very slow warm-up time, which will reduce office efficiency. It is a basic, no-frills copier, with no capacity for scanning, printing or colour copying. If space is limited, it is likely that this machine will not fulfil all your needs and an alternative multi-function device would be more useful.
Design
The simple clam shell design of the Canon NP1215 is in a pale colour. It uses thermal fusion technology to print. Printing speeds are 20 ppm and resolution is 600 dpi. Zoom ratio is 50% to 200%. The machine’s paper capacity is 250 sheets, with the tray able to hold A4, A5 and B5 paper.
Advantages
With a compact design, the Canon NP 1215 does not take up too much space. Laser technology provides crisp black text. The reliable nature of the machine means that it requires virtually no maintenance. Toner is changed easily. Auto power-off and toner save mode results in money savings and benefits the environment.
Disadvantages
As the Canon NP1215 is a photocopier only, it may only be useful in a setting where there is room for other devices if you have further requirements such as printing or scanning. If space is limited, a machine with the capacity to print and scan as well as copy would be more advantageous. There is no capacity for colour copying. At six minutes, the warm-up time is very slow.
