imageFORCE C3130Ledger-size color for the small office that prints a little of everything.
Best for: Small offices with steady, moderate color printing and scanning
Overview
The imageFORCE C3130 is the 30-page-per-minute model in Canon's C3100 series — a color A3 multifunction system built for busy mid-volume environments, with the C3130 positioned for small offices with steady, moderate printing and scanning needs.
Canon's D² Exposure technology uses OLED solid-state imaging to reach 4800 × 2400 dpi, with consistent color registration and crisp text on colored backgrounds. The single-pass duplex scanner captures both sides of a page at up to 270 images per minute and sends searchable PDFs or editable Word and PowerPoint files to email, folders, USB, or the cloud. Print from Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, and Chrome OS devices with AirPrint, Mopria, Universal Print, or the Canon PRINT app — no driver required. Paper capacity starts at 1,200 sheets and grows to 6,350 with optional cassettes and decks; the lower cassette and multipurpose tray handle stock up to 12 × 18, and a long-sheet tray option runs banners to 47.25 inches.
Every imageFORCE model shares the same 10.1-inch touchscreen interface and Canon's Unified Firmware Platform, so the device keeps gaining features through regular updates and anyone trained on one imageFORCE can run another. Print, copy, scan, send, and store are standard; fax (up to four lines) is optional.
Key features
OLED solid-state exposure delivers 4800 × 2400 dpi resolution, minimizes color shift, and keeps text sharp against colored backgrounds — brochure and proposal quality on plain paper.
Both sides of a page in one pass at up to 270 ipm from the 200-sheet feeder. Scans go to email, network folders, USB, mobile devices, or the cloud as searchable PDF, PDF/A, or editable Word and PowerPoint files.
AirPrint, Mopria, IPP Everywhere, Canon PRINT, Universal Print, and the optional Cloud Connector — phones, tablets, and laptops print without a driver install. PCL, PostScript 3, and UFR II are standard.
Secure Print and Forced Hold keep jobs at the device until the owner signs in by PIN, password, picture, card, or mobile. Verify System at Startup checks firmware for tampering, storage is encrypted to FIPS 140-3 on a TPM 2.0 platform, Trellix™ Embedded Control whitelists what can run, and SIEM integration feeds your monitoring.
A large 10.1-inch responsive touchscreen with color-coded icons and customizable language, accessibility, and display settings — the same on every imageFORCE model.
Runs stock from 14 lb bond to 140 lb index, envelopes, and sheets up to 12 × 18 — or 47.25-inch banners with the long-sheet option. Optional inner, staple, and booklet finishers add stapling, hole punching, and saddle-stitched booklets.
Efficient fusing and low-melting-point toner keep energy use down. ENERGY STAR® certified and rated EPEAT Gold, and shipped in recyclable cardboard packaging instead of foam.
Included with every system
The imageFORCE C3130 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.
