An excellent value, the Canon imageRUNNER 2020i proved to be an exceptional overall performer in BLI’s rigorous two-month evaluation, displaying excellent multitasking capabilities, above-average image quality and very good ease of use. Geared to workgroups and small businesses, this highly reliable 20-ppm device, which supports up to ledger-size output, provides standard copying, scanning and PC and network printing, as well as optional faxing (walk-up, PC and Internet). Contributing to the imageRUNNER 2020i’s very good ease of use are a touch screen and standard automatic duplexing, which are not offered on most competitive models. In addition, this model, which has the highest standard memory capacity (256 MB) for competitive devices, offers full-color document distribution capabilities. Because of its outstanding overall performance and excellent value, BLI highly recommends the Canon imageRUNNER 2020i for offices in need of a multifunctional product for monthly volumes of up to 25,000 impressions.
