    Is Canon 2620/3220 a good intro copier for a SMB to self-service?

    Looking to spend up to $2000 for a used machine that hopefully will be relatively reliable with cleaning maintenance and toner/drum replacement handled by ourselves. Anything a bit more might develop into a tech call. I looked at competitive machines from Ricoh / Xerox / Konica and it seems that the Canon's seem to have wide availability of parts, favorable reliability comments, and meet the requirements for our purchase:


    • 20 pages per minute is all we need
    • Color
    • 110 lb Index through the cassette
    • Duplex
    • Scanner Save to network drives
    • Low cost for consumables
    • Availability of parts
    • Windows Vista/7/2008 drivers
    • Service manual availability


    Nice to haves:


    • High-capacity auto-feeder (100+ pages)
    • Finisher


    Any comments before I make the purchase?

    You picked a a good model to start self-service on. Very easy to service and aside from normal consumable wear, very few issues.

    Read through it. Is there something particular I should be paying attention to or did you want me to familiarize myself with the features?

    Double-checked my requirements and as long as I have Universal Send I'm good to go, right?

    So make sure that the unit has:


    • Universal Send & Resolution Switching Board
    • C1 Color Image Reader (Optional on 2620)
    • Color Network Multi-PDL Printer Kit


    How do I know the respective components are installed on the used machine...


    • ?
    • C1 installed if I see the K1 Feeder?
    • Multi-PDL kit installed if I see a RJ-45 network connection?

    Since it a used copier, you should be able to request for a PCL Configuration Sheet printout and likewise for PS. Or you could check from "Additional Function" button -> "Printer settings" -> "Custom settings" arrow down till you see "PCL/PS" button on the LCD
