LAB TEST
Canon imageRUNNER 2020i
Buyers LaBoratory Lab TesT RepoRT
Though not all of the features required for typical copy jobs can be pro-
grammed from the main screen, they are selectable from the main screen
and, when selected, bring the user to another screen where the settings can
be programmed. The keys are well-labeled and BLI test technicians found
the menu system easy to navigate.
The job list on the control panel offers extensive information for print, copy,
fax, and Internet fax and jobs currently being processed.
Loading paper into the drawers is easy. The paper drawers have a sliding
width guide and a length guide that has to be removed and replaced; BLI
prefers a sliding length guide. However, the standard paper drawers do not
automatically detect the size of paper loaded in them, so users must change
the paper size in the drawers and at the control panel.
— Procedures for replacing the toner are simple, although a bit awkward
because the user must remove the seal while inserting the toner cartridge
into the device, otherwise the toner will spill.
Removing misfeeds was easy. Although no step-by-step instructions are pro-
vided, a graphic and text message on the display indicate the misfeed loca-
tion.
The drum is not exposed when removing misfeeds from the unit.
This model is available in two congurations: the imageRUNNER 2020 and
the imageRUNNER 2020i. The main differences between the two models is
that the imageRUNNER 2020 does not offer scanning, which is standard on
the imageRUNNER 2020i. Other differences include standard memory capac-
ity (128 MB versus 256 MB) and duplexing (optional versus standard).
The imageRUNNER 2020i offers a competitive standard paper capacity of
two 250-sheet drawers.
— The unit’s maximum paper capacity of 1,080 sheets and bypass capacity of
80 sheets are below the average for competitive models.
The unit’s standard memory capacity of 256 MB of RAM is higher than the
average for competitive models; in fact, it’s the highest. Though it’s non-
upgradable, it is nevertheless higher than the average maximum memory
capacity for models in this group.
The unit’s standard RADF has a capacity (50 sheets) that’s slightly higher
than the average for comparably equipped models.
