Canon PC-160 Black and White Copier —
Even though I have several computers, scanners, and printers around the house, having a Canon PC160 Personal Copier is surprisingly nice. It is really convenient to be able to just turn the copier on, put the paper on the glass, hit the button, and out comes the copy. In comparison, it takes a lot of time to turn on the computer, scanner, and printer, wait for the computer to boot, login, load the necessary software, wait for the printer to warm up, etc., etc. The personal copier can be a definite time saver and is really easy for anyone to use. In addition, when not in use the input and output trays fold up over the top to create a slim and tidy package. However, there are definitely some disadvantages to this type of personal copier. On larger, expensive, and full-featured copiers, the scan head moves underneath the glass surface to capture the image to then print. In this small, personal-sized, inexpensive copier, the glass top actually moves from side to side and the scan head stays stationary. This is okay when just copying a single sheet of paper. However, this makes it VERY difficult if not impossible sometimes when trying to copy something from a book, especially if it is a big, thick, and/or heavy. Such a book causes the top not to slide or jump, etc. This will not produce a very attractive or representative copy. Another draw back is that this really is a pretty basic copier and so it cannot do anything but copy one side of a page. It cannot automatically duplex (copy both sides), but this can be accomplished manually by running the output back through again. Regardless, the Canon PC160 Personal Copier is quite useful and convenient to have in the home and produces pretty good copies.
