Manual of product i-SENSYS LBP251dw
Editorial note
The Canon i-SENSYS LBP251dw stands out for its many advantages, including a fast printing speed of 30 pages per minute and a maximum resolution of 1200 x 1200 DPI, ensuring sharp and professional-quality prints. Its built-in duplex printing feature helps reduce paper consumption, which is beneficial for the environment. Additionally, its wireless and Ethernet connectivity offers flexibility of use in different work environments, while its modern and compact design makes it easy to integrate into various office spaces. However, some drawbacks must be considered. The lack of color printing functionality may be a drawback for users needing color documents. Furthermore, its weight of 12.4 kg can complicate its movement and installation, especially in environments requiring flexibility. The maximum output capacity of 150 sheets may also be insufficient for those with high printing needs, leading to frequent reloads. Finally, the sound pressure level of 69.5 dB may pose a problem in work environments where silence is essential, and the power consumption in printing mode of 520 W could lead to higher energy costs in the long run. In summary, the Canon i-SENSYS LBP251dw is a high-performing and efficient printer for everyday use, but it may not be suitable for everyone due to its limitations in color and output capacity. A good choice for users looking for a reliable and fast monochrome laser printer.Score details
