Canon 3035 Printer Review
The Canon imageRUNNER 3035 is a laser copier that can handle the heavy-duty needs of small or medium offices, as well as perform additional functions such as printing, scanning and faxing documents. Compared to a majority of similar multifunction copiers, the 3035's maximum print speeds of 35 pages per minute are several pages quicker than the average. This machine also bests its competition with its flexible media handling, long-lasting imageRUNNER 3035 printer toner and feature-rich design that supports sharing in busy offices.
The 3035's office-centric features are abundant, ranging from a 50-sheet automatic document feeder that enables multiple-page scanning and faxing to automatic double-sided printing and copying. The machine is also equipped with a 20 GB hard disk drive and a memory of 512 MB that can be upgraded to 768 MB. Optional trays and finishing options will also enable users to expand its total media capacity to a maximum of 4,950 pages, which is more than enough to handle large volumes. Finishing features like hole-punching, stapling and booklet creating are a nice touch for users that don't have time to perform such tasks manually.
The 3035 incorporates Multifunctional Embedded Application Platform architecture, which provides users the opportunity to customize the unit to fit their unique needs. This customization comes in the form of applications, which can be easily accessed through the color touchscreen LCD on the control panel. Enabling walk-up use, this user interface has the flexibility to allow users to edit and track jobs, access the project queue and monitor Canon 3035 toner levels.
Network connectivity is the key to sharing a single device in a busy office, thanks to its built-in ethernet interface. This means users won't need to be in close proximity of the large 9x22x27-inch machine and instead will have the option to print remotely from their computer.
The device can copy monochrome text and graphics up to 9,999 times per original with a consistent resolution of 1200x600 dpi using imageRUNNER 3035 toner. Print output quality increases slightly with a maximum resolution of 2400x600 dpi using black toners, which is sharp enough to support internal jobs.
The simplicity of its single black Canon 3035 toner cartridge system means supplies will be both easy and inexpensive to replace. Each replacement Canon 3035 toner cartridge has a large maximum capacity of 24,000 pages that will enable it to support expanding workflows.
Its range of great features make the 3035 one of the top picks in its price range, from its upgradable paper handling and quick output to its flexible walk-up copying, scanning and faxing capabilities. With the exception of users that need a device with color printing and copying capabilities, this monochrome unit is a good solution for busy medium-sized offices that need a 4-in-1 machine.
