Great little machine!!

This is a great personal copier. I bought it for my 80 year old grandmother to use at home for copying literature, insurance EOB's and some newspaper clippings, etc. She does not use a computer, nor can she program her DVD player or cell phone, but was able to use this copier right out of the box!! Simple setup, very easy to use and it will shut off automatically.

Most Helpful Negative Review

Poor Choice

Copy quality is very light and print is blurred. I've changed cartirges and not much better. I would not recommend this machine despite the low price. It is very difficult to purchase a stand-alone...Read complete review

I really like this copier. However, I don't know why there is this big knob on the top. It is easy to open the top without that knob.

Comments about Canon® PC170 Personal Copier:

This is a perfect copier for simple everyday needs. By no means is it adequate for big jobs, but when you need a simple copy or just a few pages copied, this is a great little printer. It has absolutely no warm up time and has that copy ready is less than 20 seconds! It folds up nicely and is very compact. The fact that it uses toner and not ink makes the copy look very professional and it doesn't smear when wet. Our last copier was a PC160 and it was a workhorse for 8 years! You can't beat the quality for the price.

Comments about Canon® PC170 Personal Copier:

This little copier is being used in a church, primarily by Sunday School teachers and other church members. It is not in a high volume environment. Most users make fewer than 10 copies at any time. The set up was easy and it is easy to operate, but copy time is very slow. The major concern is about the side trays. They seem very flimsy. Our old Canon desktop copier was like a tank and it worked for over 20 years. Only time will tell if this new one can stand up to the wear and tear of different users.

It does well copying most documents, but does poorly on forms with light colored lines. This was true even when I made it as dark as possible.
