Canon PC860 Printer Review:

The Canon PC860 is a monochrome laser copier designed for the home or small office user.

The Canon PC860 has an automatic exposure setting, which automatically adjust for different types of originals such as photos and newspapers. The unit also uses Canon's SURF technology, resulting in virtually no warm up time. As a result, the PC860 is ready to copy almost as soon as the machine is turned on.

The Canon PC860 includes a starter laser toner cartridge with a capacity of 1,900 pages. As for replacement units, there are two types of toner models for the Canon PC860 machine. The E40 comes with 3,000 page yield at 5% coverage and the E20 comes with 2,000 page yield at 5% coverage. The PC860's single copier toner cartridge includes the drum and toner in one, making it the only consumable that needs to be replaced. The use of compatible cartridges does not void the printer warranty.

Copy quality is excellent for the Canon PC860. In addition, the copying speed is at about 12 pages per minute.
