Canon ImageCLASS D480

The Canon D480 is a multifunction monochrome laser printer designed for the small office user. It offers fast speeds and good print quality, and a multitude of well-designed features in a fairly compact unit. Although the Canon D480 is a little larger than some multifunction units, its design makes it feel quite compact. The input and output trays are both located on the front of the unit, and are well-separated. The automatic document feeder and flatbed scanner are located on top of the unit, but it still needs very little vertical space. The unit measures 17.4 inches by 15.4 inches by 14.2 inches, and weigh 28 pounds, so it is easy to move when necessary. Scanning, outgoing faxes, and copies can use either the flatbed scanner or the 50-sheet automatic document feeder. The 50-sheet capacity is larger than many small office machines, which typically have a capacity of 35 sheets, and it can scan sizes up to legal. Even though the printer is only monochrome, scanning can be done in color, at up to 9600 dpi reso
