Canon Intros Itsy Bitsy Copier/Printer

The Canon PC170 weighs in at a mere 19 pounds and uses the company’s RAPID Fusing System to provide near instant warm-up times. Users can expect speeds at up to four copies-per-minute with the PC170. It even comes with a 50-sheet stack tray.

Canon boasts that the PC170 is basically maintenance free due to their exclusive Single Cartridge System which contains the drum, development unit and toner.

Other features include an automatic shut-off function which turns the unit off after idling for 5 1/2 minutes, plus the PC170 meets the EPAs Energy Star guidelines.

The Canon PC170 will be available in a few months at an MSRP of $149. Not bad if you ask me.
