A Buyer's Guide to Canon Copiers and Scanners

Canon's range of all in one copiers and scanners are versatile and useful pieces of equipment. Canon's combined copiers and scanners are reliable and cost-effective, and are suitable for both home users and business users. Canon scanners with built in copier functions are a great way for home users to access photocopying functions, without needing to pay a premium for freestanding Canon copiers. Business users can also make occasional use of Canon scanners with built in copier features, particularly when the office photocopier is out of order.

Finding the right Canon copier/scanner for home or business use depends on your specific requirements. As a home user, you may want to purchase a scanner which features additional photocopier functions; or you may prefer to purchase an all-in-one MFP. Similarly as a business user, you may wish to purchase a top of the range Canon scanner with additional copier functions for occasional usage. Regardless of how often you will make use of the copier function on your Canon scanner, there are a couple of things which you should first consider:

• Scanning Quality - If you are purchasing a Canon combined copier/scanner with the aim of using it primarily as a scanning device you should consider the quality of the scanning function. Canon MFPs offer good quality scanning, copying and printing outputs but if top quality scanning is your primary goal you should consider purchasing a Canon scanner with simple copying functions
• Available Space - Perhaps you work in a small office where space is at a premium, or maybe you need a scanner for home use but don't have the space for a bulky machine. If this is the case you should consider purchasing a flat bed Canon scanner rather than larger Canon multifunctional copiers
• Cost - Realistically how much can you afford to spend on your Canon scanner/copier? If your budget is tight and the priority is to find a scanner for heavy use, you could forgo the copier function and purchase a simple flat bed scanner. On the other hand if you have a limitless budget and wish to purchase a machine which does "everything" consider purchasing one of the many Canon multifunctional copiers
