Canon C5185 Printer Review

The Canon imageRUNNER C5185 and C5185i are two models in a series of color laser printers that bundle the 4-in-1 capabilities of a printer, scanner, fax machine and copier so users won't need multiple devices. This robust device can handle heavy-duty volumes, as it is able to print up to 51 pages per minute, which makes it one of the quickest units in its price range. A number of other features gear this impressive machine to handle busy medium-sized offices, from its high-capacity imageRUNNER C5185 printer toner and customizable features to its flexible connection options.

Despite its large size of 35x35x33 inches, this bulky device will still be easy to control thanks to its expansive control panel, which includes a color LCD and a number pad for dialing fax numbers. This LCD interface is a touchscreen, which means users will be able to perform many functions with the ease of a single touch like selecting between monochrome and color copying and choosing the destination for a scan. The built-in ethernet interface means users can scan documents to multiple locations over a shared network, which is in addition to the standard USB connection for computer-based printing.

Those looking to expand their productivity will appreciate the option to expand its standard paper capacity of 1,200 pages to a maximum of 5,000 pages. The device also offers users the choice of three finisher options to provide stacking capabilities, multiple-position stapling and saddle-stitched booklet making. Users will benefit from its 100-sheet automatic document feeder that can quickly scan or fax larger jobs.

The device can scan documents with a resolution of 600x600 dpi and 256 halftone gradations so they have a sharp quality. The device can print graphics and images with a maximum resolution of 1200x1200 dpi using color toners, while text documents have a decent resolution of 600x600 dpi using black Canon C5185 toner.

The machine operates with 4 individual black, cyan, magenta and yellow Canon C5185 toner cartridges. The color Canon C5185 toner cartridges can yield up to 36,000 pages each, while the black imageRUNNER C5185 toner supply has a maximum capacity of 27,000 pages.

There are number of advantages to the C5185, including its impressive output speeds, expandable media handling and easy-to-use control features. Overall, small or medium offices that are increasing their size and productivity will benefit from this high-performance laser printer.
