EASE OF USE

EXCELLENT

The imageRUNNER 2020i features a well-designed control panel that incor- porates a large (3-1/2" x 4-3/4"), easy-to-read LCD display that is adjustable for brightness via a dial on the control panel. Unlike with some manufac- turers, the imageRUNNER 2020i’s control panel provides a consistent look and feel with the rest of Canon’s product line. The control panels of other Segment 1 models usually differ from those of higher-speed models in the product line.

Unlike the large majority of competitive models, the imageRUNNER 2020i has a touch screen, which makes it easier to navigate than models that have control panels with hard keys.

—The control panel lacks a help key.Canon imageRUNNER 2020i Control Panel
