Its features include a quick warm-up time and an easy-to-use control panel that simplifies the user experience and reduces downtime.

On the other hand, the PC400 and PC420 are series models that emphasize connectivity and mobile printing capabilities. They allow users to print directly from smartphones and tablets through wireless connections such as Wi-Fi Direct and Bluetooth. This flexibility makes them perfect for professionals on the go. Additionally, both models offer high-resolution printing, ensuring that documents, images, and presentations are clear and impactful.

Both the PC400 and PC420 include energy-saving features, like automatic power-off and dual-sided printing, highlighting Canon’s commitment to sustainability. Their compact designs and ease of use make them suitable for both home and office environments, proving beneficial in conserving space while achieving high-quality output.
