When it comes to using the device it’s pretty simple as you would expect from a Canon machine. The control panel is simple, the small LCD screen shows numbers of copies, sizing or other details depending on the selection, and the copier does its job. It doesn’t make a fuss, keep you waiting or asks you to do anything else. You tell it what to do and it gets on with the job.
Thos model in the PC series has the Canon RAPID fusing system, which instantly warms up the toner and it dries just as quick. That means there is no more warm up times for these copiers and the first copy is finished around 10 seconds after ordering it. At a rate of 10 pages per minute, it won’t win any speed records, but it sweeps the board for convenience. Warm up times are still a bone of contention with many office equipment manufacturers. Reducing that to almost zero is quite a coup for Canon.
Copy quality is crisp and clear with text being the obvious highlight. Every letter seemed precise, exact and well printed on the page, no matter what point they were. Images and photographs were almost as good as the text, offering good finishing, even toner spread and accurate reproduction of the images.
There are the standard multiple copies, resizing and different media functions. The PC921 can also copy larger solid objects like books. Producing good quality copies even with the lid slightly open. This can be the undoing of other copiers, but the Canon seems to cope well.
The PC921 is great value for money, having a reasonable purchase price and even more reasonable consumable price. A standard cartridge will cost around $40, which should last at least 4000 pages. They also come in pairs and packs of three for further savings. Anyone looking for a cost effective copier that doesn’t compromise on quality would be advised to look at the PC921.
