Overview
The Color imageCLASS X LBP1333C is a 35-page-per-minute color desktop laser printer for small workgroups in an office or home environment that are part of an organization's wider print fleet. It is the print-only companion to the MF1333C multifunction, sharing the same engine, 5-inch color touchscreen, and security platform in a unit that weighs about 35 pounds. First print is about 7 seconds, it wakes from sleep in under 2 seconds, and it is rated for 750 to 4,000 pages a month.
The 1333C series prints at 1200 × 1200 dpi with UFR II, PCL 6, PCL 5, and Adobe PostScript 3 standard, two-sided printing out of the box at up to 31 pages a minute, and direct print from USB memory. Print from Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android devices with AirPrint, Mopria, or the Canon PRINT app; Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi Direct, and Gigabit Ethernet are all standard. Paper capacity starts at 300 sheets and grows to 850 with the optional 550-sheet Paper Feeder PF-K1, and both trays handle stock to 74 lb cover.
The 5-inch touchscreen mirrors the imageRUNNER ADVANCE DX interface, with drag-and-drop icons and Application Library one-touch buttons for print templates, consumables status, and more. Documents are held in short-term memory only, Verify System at Startup checks firmware and Application Library at boot, and imageWARE Enterprise Management Console pushes security settings to every device on the network.
Key features
A first page in about 7 seconds and 35 pages a minute in color or black-and-white at 1200 × 1200 dpi, with two-sided printing at 31 ppm. Rated for 750 to 4,000 pages a month.
About 17 inches square at 35.5 pounds, and it wakes from sleep in under 2 seconds; a desk, shelf, or credenza is enough.

AirPrint, Mopria, Canon PRINT, and optional uniFLOW Online. Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi Direct, and Gigabit Ethernet are all standard.
Documents are held in short-term memory only. Verify System at Startup checks firmware and Application Library at boot, and settings can be captured and pushed fleet-wide from imageWARE Enterprise Management Console.

Buying guide
Sharp color on heavier stock is where the Color imageCLASS X LBP1333C earns its spot. This 35 ppm color laser printer prints at 1200 × 1200 dpi, holds 31 ppm on two-sided jobs, and feeds 74 lb cover, index cards, and postcards from both its 250-sheet cassette and its 50-sheet stack bypass. It wakes from sleep in 1.7 seconds and delivers a first page in about 7, so a remote worker or small team is not left waiting after a quiet stretch, and Wi-Fi Direct lets visitors print without joining the network.
Know that it is print-only and its output tray holds 75 sheets. The 5-inch touchscreen mirrors imageRUNNER ADVANCE DX copiers, which helps in mixed Canon fleets.
The Color imageCLASS X LBP1127C is the slower entry model at 28 ppm and 600 × 600 dpi, with stock limited to 53 lb bond and a heavier 47.8-pound body, versus 74 lb cover and 35.5 pounds on the LBP1333C.

The Color imageCLASS X LBP1333C is the same everywhere. What's different is the 44 years of local service behind it.
We deliver, unbox, place, and connect the device to your network and every workstation that needs it. You print the first page before we leave.
A Canon-certified technician walks your staff through the panel, scanning workflows, and the everyday things that generate service calls when nobody explains them.
Supplies ship before you run out, based on your device's own meter readings. Genuine Canon consumables only, so your warranty and image quality stay intact.
Local technicians dispatched from our office in Old Hickory, not a national ticket queue. Average response is under four hours.
Lease, rent, or buy. Separate color and mono cost-per-page, no hidden escalators, and a person who answers questions about the contract by name.
The same person from proposal through the life of the system. They know your account, your volumes, and when it's time to talk about what's next.
Call, email, or send a message — whichever is easiest for you. We'll take it from there.
