The Canon PC921 laser copier is designed for the home or small office user. It offers reasonably fast copy speeds considering its compact size and affordable price point. Lack of an automatic document feeder might turn some buyers away.
The Canon PC921 laser copier is a dedicated copy machine with tight office spaces in mind. It offers almost everything a larger copy machine offers at a fraction of the size and the price. It lacks an automatic document feeder for quickly copying multiple pages, but its flatbed scanner does an adequate job. The scanning surface is capable of scanning materials up to 8.5 by 14 inches in size.
One of the keys to good copies is getting a quality scan of the original, and the machine has a number of features designed to help users make better copies. It has a Photo mode, which adjusts exposure and other settings to better capture the source material. It also has both automatic and manual exposure controls for fine-tuning.
The copier is also a very economical choice, for a number of reasons. First, it has a toner save mode which reduces the amount of toner used per page, thus reducing toner costs. The Canon PC921 toner cartridges use a single cartridge system, so the drum and toner are both contained in a single laser toner cartridge. This makes the copier toner cartridge the only consumable that needs to be replaced on the unit. Each toner cartridge has a capacity of 4,000 pages, so it will not need to be replaced often.
Copy speed is quite good for the price, at around 10 pages per minute. Since the unit has only a flatbed scanner and not a document feeder, however, copy speed will depend somewhat on the user. Copies are very sharp and detailed, especially text.
Overall, the Canon PC921 is a solid choice for the small office that needs a compact copy machine and doesn't mind the lack of an automatic document feeder.
