Canon 8285 Printer Review

As a less-expensive alternative to faster models in its class, the Canon imageRUNNER ADVANCE multifunction laser copier still offers plenty of speed, at up to 85 pages per minute. It has a large paper capacity that is great for busy work environments, affordable Canon 8285 printer toner for low-cost operation, and a sharp resolution of 1200 dpi for great output quality.

Models designed for high-volume environments are inherently bulky, but the 8285 manages to occupy a somewhat compact footprint. It requires an installation space of 79x31.8 inches, and it does weigh over 500 pounds, however. Adding upgrade components will increase the unit's size, with options for stapling, booklet finishing, and increased paper capacity available.

The 8285 doesn't have the swivel control panel of faster models like the 8205, but still has the same easy-to-use software integrated into the display. Users can choose from a simple or more advanced menu system, depending on the type of task they need to perform, and both views are customizable to display on the necessary information at all times. Users can also monitor the unit's operation, including the amount of imageRUNNER ADVANCE 8285 toner remaining.

Paper handling options abound, with support for up to 4,200 pages in its standard configuration. Upgrade options can even boost the total capacity to an astounding 7,700 pages, which is more than enough to handle even the most fast-paced offices.

Canon 8285 toner cartridges are very inexpensive, even for the OEM versions, which makes replacing toners less of a blow to the budget. Of course, with a capacity of 70,000 pages for each imageRUNNER ADVANCE 8285 toner cartridges, they won't need to be replaced frequently.

The 8285 has the speed, paper capacity, and versatility a large office needs, without the higher price tag of more advanced models. Available upgrades allow for a lot of customization, and managers can control operating costs with affordable Canon 8285 toner.
