The Canon i-SENSYS LBP312x is a high-speed monochrome laser printer sold in Canon's European i-SENSYS line, the counterpart of the North American imageCLASS LBP312. It is a single-function, network-ready printer sized for busy workgroups that need fast black-and-white output.
Canon rates it at up to 43 pages per minute on A4 paper single-sided and up to 34.4 images per minute in duplex, with an even faster 65 ppm on A5 landscape. Automatic two-sided printing is standard, the 550-sheet cassette and 100-sheet multipurpose tray keep it stocked, and 1 GB of memory handles large jobs. It connects over USB or Ethernet and carries a 150,000-page monthly duty cycle.
It runs on Canon 041 toner. GS Toner stocks the genuine Canon 041 black cartridge for this printer.
