Copiers don't have to be big and expensive to make great copies. With Canon's PC430 personal copier, you can get clean and clear copies from a small, relatively inexpensive unit, in your own home or small office. To set up the Canon PC430 photocopier, we opened the copier's cover, took out the toner cartridge, removed the protective sealing tape, reinserted the toner cartridge, closed the copier's cover, and plugged in the AC power cord. The copier was ready to make copies without needing even a short warm-up period. In our test of the PC430, we copied a variety of documents, and, in most cases, the black-and-white copies were nearly indistinguishable from the black-and-white originals. There were no unexpected smudges or grains unless the originals contained colors or shades of gray. For detailed images and photographs, the automatic exposure system consistently made copies that were too dark; so we turned off the automatic system with the touch of a button, and adjusted the exposure by turning a dial--and saw dramatic improvement. The copier is rated at four ppm, which is slow for an office copier but consistent with copiers in this price range. Pros:
- Easy setup
- Intuitive controls
- Instant warm-up
- Toner cartridge included
Cons
Amazon.com Product Description
This sturdy little copier brings new levels of reliability and ease of use to your office machines. Canon's patented one-cartridge system puts all consumables (toner, drum, and development unit) in one container that pops out simply. The cartridge for the PC430 is even smaller than that of other Canon models, giving this copier the easiest replacement method of all. Five different color cartridges are available--the black lasts for an average of 2,000 copies, and any of the colors lasts through approximately 1,000 pages. It can handle originals sized from postcards to legal documents, and up to 4 inches thick, and can transfer these images to normal paper, card stock, transparencies, and labels. The automatic shutoff kicks in after five minutes of nonuse for improved energy efficiency, but it's ready to go instantly when you need it--there's no warmup time. Canon includes a one-year warranty with instant exchange service.
Product Description
The versatile PC430 expands your paper size capability up to legal size. Built to use the convenient PC Cartridge, the PC430 offers you virtually maintenance-free performance and a long run of superior quality copies. There is no warm-up time so it's always ready to work when you are.

 The Best! No scanner even comes close! December 22, 2001
56 out of 57 found this review helpful
If your looking for a copy machine, and have been settling for a scanner instead then sell your scanner and pick up a Cannon PC420 or PC430 copier. (I bought the 430 but tested the 420.)The copies are nice and crisp. With text it will even do perfect copies of text in 8-point font. For pictures it will copy fine. Not perfect, some edges will appear pixilated, good enough for a teacher to make copies from a book for students to do. Yet not good enough for a critical sales or marketing presentation. If you copy from workbooks or textbooks the PC430 will pay for itself in just a few months. No more hassles of waiting or paying on a per copy basis. The PC430 can have some trouble when you have many gray or offgray boxes that are small. It will smudge the edges but not considerably. For the price though it is perfect, you would have to pay 10x as much for a copier that doesn't do this. Being able to hit the Power button and begin to copy is unbelivable. No warm up! If you are used to using $10,000 copiers that take minutes to warm up when you only need one or two copies this is a godsend. All in all this is one of the best home or homeoffice products you can buy. It works as advertised and is simple to operate. In today's world of gizmos and gadgets that is saying alot.
Small, portable, inexpensive- everything I wanted May 21, 2001

It can be carried around to seminars easily. I take mine to quilting classes, so we can copy "foundation papers" for everyone to try. Share recipes. Drag it to a class and when the teacher runs out of handouts, offer to make more on the spot. (If you don't want to carry it "naked," it fits in the larger courier bags, and if yours is the kid that has a zipper that expands it to 8" depth, you can carry a ream of paper too, although it gets heavy.)When not carting it around for such uses, it takes up remarkably little space on a home desk or shelf. The tray folds up. Ours has been quite resistant to pet fur- we have to be careful with any devices, to see that rabbit fur does not get in the moving parts; we find rabbit fur in our printers, rabbit fur floating on monitors, rabbit fur in the keyboards, rabbit fur in the gas stove burners- but so far, no rabbit fur has gotten inside this copier, and the lid has been good enough to keep rabbit fur off the glass surface. A copier that's portable and pet-resistant, and inexpensive to boot; if it weren't for the slow speed I'd give it 5 stars instead of 4.

I bought this copier several years ago and it has work well for me. I like that it can also do legal size paper. It does take up alot of desk space due to the two paper trays. I think that there are better choices now. This copier doesn't have an internal paper tray, doc. feeder, or enlargement of image.

After fighting for several years with all in one printer/fax/copier machines, I decided to buy seperate components to do these specific jobs. The Canon PC430 was my choice as a copier and I amd very pleased with it. I does it's job very well for small business use with small to moderate copy jobs. It's a simple machine and compact enough to fit on the desktop. The set up is easy. The copies are perfect reproductions of the originals. No frills just does the job it's designed to do.
