Canon i-SENSYS LBP6300dn Extremely Mono Laser Printer
May 11, 2010 | Canon, Printer | 2 CommentsPersonal laser printers are illustrated by its slowness and cost, while the machines are working fast and expensive. Between is a hell of devices that are often neither the one nor the other. Designed for small businesses or working group of three to five people, the Canon i-SENSYS LBP6300dn aims to split the difference, offering speed and economy at the same time.
The printer has simple lines and clean and is colored white and dark gray with a blue highlight on the front panel knob. Pull the panel down and you have a tray 100-sheet multi-purpose path for special media, but there is also a tray 250-sheet main paper tray and a 500-sheet auxiliary is optional.
The control panel is extremely simple, with four high power LEDs and a variety of error conditions, and an illuminated button to cancel printing. Basically, USB and Ethernet, but there is no wireless option on this machine without using a third-party print server. Pull the front cover and you have access to one piece drum and toner cartridge, which slides down into the heart of the printer and can be easily assembled and disassembled with one hand.
There was a tendency to two parts of the drum and toner cartridges, drums that allow more durable and can take many alternative toners before needing to be replaced. Canon has chosen not to follow this path, which could mean more expensive operating costs, although this remains a function of price policy, not the physical design itself.
The cartridges are available in two sizes, 2,100 and 6,400 pages and high-capacity version can cover more pages than most of the consumables in this printer class. Canon provides software support with the minimum i-SENSYS LBP6300dn, including a remote user interface and the driver itself, which is available for Windows, OS X and Linux. The driver offers support for multiple pages per sheet, watermarks and two-sided printing, which is standard on this machine. [via trustedreviews]
