Overview

About the imageCLASS X LBP1871

The imageCLASS X LBP1871 is the faster of the two models in Canon's LBP1800 series and the fastest desktop printer in the imageCLASS line: 75 pages a minute in black-and-white, a first print in about 4.9 seconds, and a recommended monthly volume of 5,000 to 30,000 pages. It is built for workgroups in an office environment that run large print jobs and want them finished quickly from a machine that still fits on a desk. The LBP1861 is the same printer at 65 pages a minute.

The LBP1800 series prints at up to 1200 × 1200 dpi with UFR II, PCL 6, and Adobe PostScript 3 standard, two-sided printing out of the box, and warm-up from power-on or sleep in 2 seconds or less. Paper capacity starts at 650 sheets and grows to 4,300 with 550-sheet Paper Feeder PF-J1 units and the 2,000-sheet Paper Deck Unit PD-H1, with a 500-sheet output tray to match. Print from Windows, iOS, and Android devices with AirPrint, Mopria, Universal Print, or the Canon PRINT Business app; Wi-Fi and Gigabit Ethernet are both standard. The T03 toner is rated for up to 51,500 pages.

A five-line LCD with keypad handles setup, and the security platform matches Canon's larger office machines: documents are held in short-term memory only, Verify System at Startup checks firmware at boot, McAfee Embedded Control uses whitelisting to block malware and tampering while the machine runs, and an audit log feeds SIEM tools. imageWARE Enterprise Management Console pushes security settings to every device on the network.

Key features

What it does well

  • 75 ppm with a 4.9-second first print

    The fastest desktop printer in the imageCLASS lineup: a first page in about 4.9 seconds, 75 pages a minute on Letter, and a 2-second wake from sleep. Rated for 5,000 to 30,000 pages a month.

  • 650 to 4,300 sheets on board

    A 550-sheet cassette and 100-sheet multipurpose tray standard. Add 550-sheet Paper Feeder PF-J1 units and the 2,000-sheet Paper Deck Unit PD-H1 to reach 4,300 sheets, with a 500-sheet output tray to catch it all.

  • Fits where an MFP won't

    About 17 inches wide and 18 inches deep at 48.5 pounds. With the optional 2K paper deck pedestal it becomes a floor-standing unit with the same footprint.

  • Print from any device

    AirPrint, Mopria, Canon PRINT Business, Universal Print, and optional uniFLOW Online. Wi-Fi and Gigabit Ethernet are both standard, with dual-network support.

  • Runtime intrusion protection

    McAfee Embedded Control uses whitelisting to block unrecognized malware and tampering of firmware and applications while the machine runs. Verify System at Startup checks integrity at boot, and an audit log feeds your SIEM.

  • Low cost per page, low power

    A 51,500-page T03 toner, standard two-sided and N-up printing, low-melting-point toner, ENERGY STAR® certification, and an EPEAT Silver rating at a TEC of 0.77 kWh.

Included with every system

What comes with it when you buy from ABC

The imageCLASS X LBP1871 is the same everywhere. What's different is the 44 years of local service behind it.

  • Delivery, setup, and network install

    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.

  • On-site training for your team

    A Canon-certified technician walks your staff through the panel, scanning workflows, and the everyday things that generate service calls when nobody explains them.

  • Genuine Canon toner, auto-shipped

    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.

  • Same-day service standard

    Local technicians dispatched from our office in Old Hickory, not a national ticket queue. Average response is under four hours.

  • Plain-language agreements

    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.

  • One dedicated account manager

    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.
