If you seriously intend the volume that you are describing you'll have closer to 75% down time. Assuming that you hired an employee whose only job was to load paper, remove finished jobs, remove jams, and load toner, the machine would not survive long at 10 hours constant running time per day. And that 45 cpm is based on letter size paper fed the 8 1/2" direction. Ledger size pages feed at ~22 cpm, Legal size pages at ~28 cpm. And those A3/ledger size print increment as two copies each on single side, four copies each when duplexed.
This is a common misconception. A photocopier is not a press. The manufacturers recommendations are typically optimistic by a factor of 2x, so in real life you can expect the Canon to survive at an average monthly rate of 17K/2 = 85,000 pages per month.
If you try to do this with two machines, both will be in the dumpster within 3 months. =^..^=
