Canon FC226 Toner Cartridges

Canon FC226 Printer Review

The Canon FC-226 is a personal laser copier, designed for users who want to take it with them for copying outside the office. Its compact design is great for portability, yet it can still produce around 4 copies per minute. Unlike expensive inkjet copiers, the cost of Canon FC-226 printer toner is actually very affordable as well.

The design of the FC-226 features a flatbed scanning surface in the center, and then has an input tray and output tray on opposite sides that fold in for transporting it from place to place. The input tray only holds up to 9 sheets at a time, so users should expect to reload it often, but for a portable solution, this is not unexpected.

When folded up, the machine measures just 4.1 inches tall, with a footprint of 14.1x15.7 inches. The weight is only 16.6 pounds. This may be a little heavy to carry around every day, but it is certainly light enough for portability. The control panel is extremely basic, but it does include both automatic and manual density settings, which can help control the amount of Canon FC-226 toner used for each page.

Replacing toners is a quick and simple process, and each Canon FC-226 toner cartridge has a surprisingly large yield of around 4,000 pages. Combined with using compatible Canon FC-226 toner cartridges instead of the more expensive OEM supplies, users will have a very cost-effective system for copying.

Buyers won't get a lot of advanced features with the FC-226, but they will get a very portable copier that has the added bonus of affordable operating costs. Those who can put up with its slow speeds and limited paper capacity will find it to be a useful tool in their arsenal, particularly when making copies away from the office.
