Canon L170 Printer Review:
The Canon L170 is a monochrome
laser printer and fax machine suitable for the small or medium office
environment. The Canon L170 measures 13.7 inches X 20.4 inches X 23 inches,and
weighs about 24.7 pounds.
The Canon L170 is a full-featured
fax machine equipped with an automatic document feeder. The feeder has a
capacity of 50 pages for automatically scanning capability. It can store 32
speed dials and save up to 142 destinations in memory. Multiple fax resolutions
are available as well including standard, fine, and super-fine outputs. This
allows the user to balance speed with quality, as some documents don't need the
extra resolution, and can be processed more quickly. Faxing speed can go as
fast as 33.6 kbps.
Canon L170 toner is relatively
inexpensive. The unit uses a single cartridge with a capacity of 3,500 pages at
5% coverage. Users will find they can save money by using third-party
compatible cartridges instead of branded Canon L170 toner. The use of
compatible cartridges does not void the printer warranty.
The Canon L170 has a print speed
around 19 pages per minute. Print quality is excellent for text, producing
sharp and clear output even at small
font sizes. Graphics quality is good, but slightly below average for a laser
printer.
