Canon NP4030 Toner Cartridges

Canon NP4030 Printer Review

Machines that are built for a small office are similar to the units designed to handle daily needs of high-volume offices, just on a lower scale. Many still offer multiple functions, useful features and sufficient speed and quality. However, rather than printing 70 pages per minute, these types of devices generate less than 20 pages per minute. Monthly duty cycles are considerably less and the printer toner can yield fewer pages. The Canon NP4030 is a small office printer with the ability to copy and scan.

This device only produces black-and-white documents, making it a monochrome unit and requiring only a single Canon NP4030 toner cartridge that holds black printer toner. Any consumer that has a need for color printing will need to look elsewhere. Each Canon NP4030 toner cartridge has a maximum print capacity of 15,000 pages, keeping the cost per page relatively low. When replacement toners are needed, they can be purchased directly from the manufacturer or from certified third party vendors. The Canon NP4030 toner can generate a maximum resolution of 600x600 dpi, which will be sufficient for standard text documents.

There is a Toner Save mode that will slightly reduce the amount of Canon NP4030 toner that is used for each print. There is also an Energy Save mode that will automatically shut down the unit when it has not been used for an extended period of time. Both of these mode options will reduce the overall cost of the NP4030 to a minimum.

There is an automatic document feeder that aids the scanning of multiple page documents by continuously feeding pages through the machine. Hundreds of sheets of paper can be held in the input and output trays and there is a display panel that gives users updates on the progress of tasks. Overall, it is a solid laser machine.
