The Canon imageCLASS MF542x (sold in Europe as the i-SENSYS MF542x) is a fast monochrome laser 4-in-1 (print, copy, scan, fax) for workgroups with steady volume. It prints up to 43 ppm on A4 paper at 600 x 600 dpi and includes a 50-sheet duplexing document feeder.

The large 550-sheet cassette plus a 100-sheet multipurpose tray keep refills rare, and the machine connects over USB 2.0, Gigabit Ethernet and Wi-Fi. Canon recommends 2,000 to 7,500 pages a month with a maximum duty cycle of 150,000 pages, and the customizable Application Library and secure PIN printing suit shared offices.

It uses the Canon 056L black cartridge, available as a genuine Canon original from GS Toner.
