Manual of product i-SENSYS X 1238P
Editorial note
The Canon i-SENSYS X 1238P is a monochrome laser printer that stands out for its fast printing speed, reaching 38 pages per minute, and its high resolution of 1200 x 1200 DPI, ensuring prints of exceptional clarity. Its built-in duplex printing feature also optimizes paper usage, which is an asset in demanding work environments. Additionally, its 350-sheet paper capacity makes it easier to manage large volumes of documents without frequent interruptions. However, this model has some drawbacks. The lack of color printing functionality limits its use for documents requiring graphic elements or colorful presentations. Its weight of 9.2 kg can make moving and installing it difficult, particularly in environments where mobility is required. Furthermore, the noise level of 54 dB during printing can be disruptive in quiet offices. Finally, the absence of included cartridges in the packaging may lead to additional costs right from the purchase, which could be a disadvantage for some users. Overall, the user experience is positive thanks to an intuitive interface and well-integrated features. Regarding its performance, the speed and print quality make it a wise choice for professional use. Its modern design is functional, although the weight may pose a problem. In terms of value for money, the initial cost is competitive, but potential costs related to cartridges should be considered. The device's robustness is satisfactory for standard use, even if the paper capacity may not be sufficient for very large print jobs. Finally, Wi-Fi and Ethernet connectivity is a plus, but the noise level could be bothersome in quiet work environments.Score details
