Canon PC800 Toner Cartridges

Canon PC800 Printer Review

The Canon PC800 makes an excellent personal laser copier that is designed for desktop use, rather than portability. This allows it to have a bit more paper capacity and solid features, and it outputs up to 12 copies per minute. Large capacities for Canon PC800 printer toner also help to keep the operating budget down.

Buyers shouldn't expect all the bells and whistles they would get with a larger copy machine, but the PC800 still has its share of great features. Its zoom range is a little smaller, at 70-141%, but this will be more than enough for the average home or small office user. It can make up to 100 copies from an original, and supports paper up to 8.5x14 inches in size.

Compared to other models in its series designed for portability, the PC800 branches out a bit more, with a 250-sheet main paper tray and a single-sheet manual slot. The machine takes up a fair amount of space on a desktop surface, however, with a footprint of 17.6x19.1 inches. It is also a bit heavier than one might expect, at 42.5 pounds with the Canon PC800 toner cartridge installed.

On the subject of toners, the cost of Canon PC800 toner supplies is one of the unit's best features. Each Canon PC800 toner cartridge has a large capacity, with a yield of up to 4,000 pages that is much larger than expected for such a compact machine.

The PC800 won't replace a full-featured copier in a larger office environment, but for a small office of only a few users, it should have more than enough speed and features to get the job done. At a fairly affordable price and using inexpensive supplies, it is an excellent value for its class.
