Canon 1210 Printer Review

The ability to make professional-quality copies and print originals quickly and consistently are both important components to the success of an office. To have a machine that is capable of doing both reliably for years to come is even more beneficial because of the time, space and money that will be saved. The Canon imageRUNNER 1210 is a laser device the prints flawless black-and-white text or graphics documents as well as make duplicates that are so accurate to the original, it is hard to differentiate.

Many business models have a monochromatic nature, meaning color printing is not an option. Such is the case with the 1210, which uses only high-grade black printer toner. Only one Canon 1210 toner cartridge is required, though, which will minimize the overall maintenance cost throughout the course of the printer's life. Each imageRUNNER 1210 toner cartridge has a maximum page yield of 5,300 prints, which will also less the overall expense by keeping the cost per page low.

When printing new documents or images, the maximum resolution reached with Canon 1210 toner is 2400x600 dpi, however the copy resolution is a bit less. Still, duplicates will have clarity and precision sufficient for a professional level. Built-in tools will allow users to monitor the progress of tasks and the remaining amount of imageRUNNER 1210 toner that is left directly from a computer at a desk separate from the table holding the printer.

Up to 250 sheets of paper can be held in the input tray, the memory is 16 MB and a standard USB 2.0 connects a single PC. However, a networking adapter can be purchased separately allowing the 1210 to be shared. There is a TonerSave mode that will reduce the amount of Canon 1210 toner used for each print, but promises to have close to equivalent quality.
