Overview
About the imageFORCE 1440F
The imageFORCE 1440F is the multifunction model in Canon's 1440 series — a 42-page-per-minute black-and-white A4 desktop device with print, copy, scan, send, and fax, for small and home offices that want a full MFP without giving up a desk. It delivers a first print in about 4.9 seconds, wakes from sleep in 4 seconds, and scans both sides of a page in a single pass at up to 100 images per minute. The 1440P is the print-only version.
The 1440 series prints at up to 1200 dpi equivalent with a toner formulation built for crisp, consistent output. The single-pass duplex feeder sends searchable PDFs, including PDF/A, to email, folders, USB, or cloud services such as Google Drive, OneDrive, and Dropbox. Print from Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, and Chrome OS devices with AirPrint, Mopria, Universal Print, or the Canon PRINT app. Paper capacity starts at 250 sheets and grows to 900 with the optional 550-sheet cassette.
A 5-inch color touchscreen with icon-based navigation and the Application Library platform keep daily tasks simple, and documents are held in short-term memory only, so nothing confidential sits on the device. Verify System at Startup, a Send-to-Myself-Only restriction, and SIEM integration are standard.
Key features
What it does well
42 ppm with a 4.9-second first print
Up to 1200 dpi equivalent output; the engine raises laser exposure frequency at speed so text stays sharp, and it wakes from sleep in 4 seconds.
Single-pass duplex scanning and fax
Both sides of a page in one pass at up to 100 ipm black-and-white or 80 ipm color, to email, folders, USB, or the cloud as searchable PDF or PDF/A. Fax is built in.
Print from any device
AirPrint, Mopria, Canon PRINT, Universal Print, and optional uniFLOW Online. Wi-Fi and Gigabit Ethernet are both standard.
Nothing confidential stays on the device
Documents are held in short-term memory only. Verify System at Startup checks firmware, a Send-to-Myself-Only restriction limits distribution, and SIEM integration feeds your monitoring.
250 to 900 sheets, Legal size
A 250-sheet cassette and 100-sheet multipurpose tray standard; add the optional 550-sheet Cassette-AH1. Handles envelopes, postcards, labels, and index cards.
Low-impact by design
Efficient fusing and low-melting-point toner keep power draw down. ENERGY STAR® certified and rated EPEAT Silver, with settings that encourage two-sided printing.
Buying guide
Is the imageFORCE 1440F right for your office?
A home office or small front desk that needs print, copy, scan and fax from one box, without dedicating a cabinet to it, is where the imageFORCE 1440F fits. This black-and-white laser multifunction printer runs 42 ppm, gets the first page out in about 4.9 seconds, and is just 16-1/2 inches wide and 37.3 lb. Its single-pass feeder scans duplex at 100 ipm in black-and-white or 80 ipm in color, and Wi-Fi is built in.
Paper is its limit: a 250-sheet cassette and 100-sheet bypass tray, expandable only to 900 sheets with one 550-sheet cassette, plus a 150-sheet output tray. Documents are held only in short-term memory. Its imageCLASS X MF1440 twin uses the same frame but prints at 600 × 600 dpi rather than 1200 dpi equivalent.
How it compares
The imageFORCE 1440P is the print-only version of the 1440F: same 42 ppm and 900-sheet maximum, but no copy, scan or fax, and it weighs about 21.8 lb instead of 37.3 lb.
See the Canon imageFORCE 1440P
The imageCLASS X MF1440 shares the 1440F's 42 ppm speed, fax, 100/80 ipm duplex scanning and 16-1/2-inch footprint, but prints at 600 × 600 dpi versus 1200 dpi equivalent and adds Wi-Fi Direct and a 10,600-page T13 toner rating.
See the Canon imageCLASS X MF1440
The imageFORCE 1643F steps up to 45 ppm, a 7-inch tilting touchscreen and a 650-sheet standard supply expandable to 2,300, while keeping Super G3 fax in a desktop chassis.
