Canon LC8500 Toner Cartridges

Canon LC8500 Printer Review

The office is the place for highly efficient equipment that will benefit everyone. These laser machines need to be reliable and durable while producing high volumes, which a Canon ink cartridge printer would not suffice. However, some devices are too big for small spaces, and the Canon LC8500 may be one of them. This is marketed as a laser fax machine, though it also has copying capabilities. It is a monochrome unit, meaning it only uses black printer toner, so if color faxing is necessary, consumers should look elsewhere.

The single Canon LC8500 toner cartridge fits easily and securely in this unit. It can last for as many as 4,000 prints, limiting the amount of maintenance this device will require. However, for higher volume users, replacements will be necessary monthly. Third party vendors make a remanufactured Canon toner cartridge, which has the same capacity and quality as an OEM Canon LC8500 toner.

The LC8500 has a maximum sheet capacity of 600 pages, as well as a memory of 592 pages. This allows the machine to receive and store documents when it is not powered on. It has a transmission rate of 33.6 Kbps and contains G3 speed capabilities. There is a 12-hour battery backup in the event of power loss, such as a storm knocking out the electricity in the building.

The security features on the LC8500 are impressive, ensuring the privacy of highly important documents that are not for everyone's eyes. This unit also contains a printer toner save mode. This mode eliminates excessive and unnecessary usage of the Canon LC8500 toner, saving users a good amount of money.

Other options are available, such as the LC8500ms which has additional memory and networking. All variations of the base model use the same Canon LC8500 toner cartridge. This fax machine is a solid piece of equipment with professional quality and easy-to-use features.
