Overview
About the imageRUNNER ADVANCE DX 4945i
The imageRUNNER ADVANCE DX 4945i is the flagship of Canon's 4900 series — a 45-page-per-minute black-and-white A3 multifunction system for mid-volume departments, and the only model in the series that ships with the 200-sheet single-pass duplex feeder as standard. It prints 45 ppm on letter, 32 ppm on letter-rotated, and 22 ppm on legal and 11 × 17, produces a first copy in as little as 4.6 seconds, and scans both sides of a page at up to 270 images per minute.
The 4900 series prints at 1200 × 1200 dpi with Canon's V² imaging profile for consistent, striking output. Scans go to email, folders, USB, or the cloud as searchable PDF, PDF/A, or editable Word and PowerPoint files. Print from Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, and Chrome OS devices with AirPrint, Mopria, Universal Print, or Canon PRINT Business. Paper capacity starts at 1,200 sheets and grows to 3,650 with the high-capacity cassette; the lower cassette and multipurpose tray handle stock up to 12 × 18, and optional inner, staple, and booklet finishers add stapling and saddle-stitching.
The 10.1-inch touchscreen with My ADVANCE personalization matches the rest of the imageRUNNER ADVANCE DX line, and Canon's Unified Firmware Platform keeps the device gaining features through regular updates. Print, copy, scan, send, and store are standard; fax (up to four lines) is optional.
