Canon 2020 Printer Review

The base model of the Canon imageRUNNER 2020 (also known as the 2020i) weighs about 100 pounds and offers multiple functions and features that will increase the level of production in standard small offices. A number of optional features are also available that will expand the versatility, capacity, and overall size of this multifunction monochrome device. Equipment that is expandable is crucial in growing offices, which makes the 2020 an excellent choice.

Let's start with two of the most important characteristics, which are speed and quality. When the machine is turned on, it will take about 13 seconds to warm up, however it takes less than 1 second to get warm from sleep mode. The first page out speed varies based on which method of printing or copying is being used. From the scanner glass, the first page will print out in about 8 seconds, while sheets fed from the input tray can take up to 14 seconds to begin printing. The overall maximum output rate is 20 pages per minute. At the top speed, the black Canon 2020 toner can produce a standard resolution of 600x600 dpi, which can be increased to 1200x1200 dpi for more important documents.

Though it is marketed as a scanner, copier, and printer, faxing capabilities can be added if needed. A 50-sheet duplexing automatic document feeder can also be added to the 2020, as well as finishing features that include stapling and folding. The built-in memory is 128 MB, but that is expandable to 256 MB if more is required. The paper capacity can also be increased. Initially, there are dual 250-sheet trays with an 80-sheet multimedia tray, but two more 250-sheet trays can be added, for a maximum paper capacity of 1,080 sheets.

A single user can connect a computer to this laser device through a USB port. An ethernet interface is available as well, allowing multiple users to share the 2020. Each Canon 2020 toner cartridge can yield up to 8,300 pages, so if multiple people are using this unit, backup toners may be a good idea. The replacement imageRUNNER 2020 toner cartridges can be purchased online or in some local office supplies stores. The cost of replacement Canon 2020 printer toner is surprisingly low, so the overall cost per page shouldn't be a concern, even for smaller budgets.

Depending on the buyer's needs, this can be a basic all-in-one machine or a full-featured unit. Its expandability makes it appealing to many offices while the affordability of imageRUNNER 2020 toner is appealing to general consumers. It is a solid office printer, copier, scanner, and faxing is also available.
