Overview

About the imageFORCE 1643P

The imageFORCE 1643P is the single-function printer in Canon's 1643 series — a 45-page-per-minute black-and-white A4 desktop printer for offices and fleets that need fast, secure output from a device small enough for a credenza. It delivers a first print in about 6.2 seconds, wakes from sleep in 5 seconds, and shares the paper handling, security platform, and fleet tools of the 1643 multifunction models. Copy, scan, and fax are not available on this model; see the 1643 or 1643F.

The 1643 series prints at up to 1200 dpi equivalent with a toner formulation built for crisp text and detailed graphics. Print from Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, and Chrome OS devices with AirPrint, Mopria, Universal Print, or the Canon PRINT app, or direct from USB memory. Paper capacity starts at 650 sheets and grows to 2,300 with up to three optional 550-sheet feeders on a rolling cassette stand.

A 5-line LCD panel handles settings, and Canon's Unified Firmware Platform keeps the device gaining features through regular updates. Verify System at Startup, Trellix™ Embedded Control, and SIEM integration are standard, and imageWARE Enterprise Management Console manages it alongside the rest of a Canon fleet.

Buying guide

Is the imageFORCE 1643P right for your office?

Picture a set of department printers that all need to be patched, audited, and locked down the same way. The imageFORCE 1643P was built for that job: a 45 ppm black-and-white laser printer only 16-1/8 inches wide and 10-7/8 inches tall, yet carrying Trellix Embedded Control, Security Environment Estimation, and Canon's Unified Firmware Platform for ongoing feature updates. A 550-sheet cassette plus a 100-sheet tray gives it 650 sheets out of the box, and up to three 550-sheet feeders on the rolling stand take it to 2,300.

Before choosing, note that the panel is a 5-line LCD, not a touchscreen, and it prints only. Teams that also scan should look at the imageFORCE 1643, which adds a 7-inch tilting touchscreen and 100 ipm duplex scanning.

How it compares

The imageFORCE 1643 is the 1643P plus a single-pass duplex scanner running 100 ipm and a 7-inch tilting touchscreen; it weighs 44.1 pounds against the 1643P's 27.6, and neither model includes fax.
See the Canon imageFORCE 1643
The imageCLASS LBP325dn shares the 1643P's 45 ppm speed, chassis dimensions, and 2,300-sheet ceiling, but it prints at 600 × 600 dpi, has no wireless LAN, and takes up to 30 seconds to warm up from power-on.

The imageFORCE 1440P drops to 42 ppm and a 900-sheet maximum, but adds a 5-inch color touchscreen and a quicker 4.9-second first print, versus about 6.2 seconds on the 1643P.
