Canon 3530 Printer Review

The Canon imageRUNNER 3530 has a monthly duty cycle of 130,000 pages and implements quick faxing, scanning, copying and printing functions. With its monochrome laser printing technology, the 3530 consistently prints text documents with sharp and crisp resolutions. The unit uses a single black Canon 3530 toner cartridge that is simple to install. Rather than using multiple toners, the single-printer toner system makes it so users spend more time printing and less time replacing supplies. Users can purchase an imageRUNNER 3530 toner cartridge with a maximum yield of 24,000 sheets.

Additional supplies include a drum unit that has a capacity of up to 85,000 impressions. It comes with a built-in automatic document feeder and a duplex printing option that can decrease a user's paper usage by 50%. The 3530 also has a dedicated envelope feeder attachment that can hold up to 50 envelopes making it convenient for users who print on both media types. Other paper handling options include a dual 550-sheet cassette tray that accepts a maximum paper size of 11x17 inches.

Using black Canon 3530 toner, prints and copies can be produced at a moderately fast speed of 35 pages per minute on letter-size paper.

These resolutions will provide professional-quality prints.

The 3530's fax machine has a memory of up to 8,000 pages and uses a Super G3 fax board. Using black Canon 3530 toner, faxes are received at approximate rates of 3 seconds per page. The printer comes with 256 MB of shared memory and up to 20 GB of shared hard disk space. It is an EnergyStar qualified machine, meaning the Canon imageRUNNER 3530 can save users money while printing by consuming less energy.
