With a pop-up handle and a scant 19 pound frame, the Canon PC170 Personal Copier makes the portable office more portable. The PC170 has a smart folding compact design, fits on a desktop, and can be carried from office to meeting using the built-in pop-up handle. It requires no warm-up time and has an auto shut-off to save energy. The 50-sheet stack paper tray accepts postcard to letter-size paper and makes 50 copies at a time on full-feed mode at 4ppm.

If you’re looking for a very basic copier to make the occasional black and white copy this unit is fine. It makes very clean looking black and white copies. If you can think of a question in the form of “Does this copier have _____” chances are the answer is no. It can do double-sided copies, but only manually. There is no multiple-original feed. No shrink/enlarge options. It does have auto-exposure with a manual override if it’s needed. Knowing all of this I think it’s a steal at the $25 AR I paid. Otherwise you’re probably better off with a scanner and printer for most uses.
I use this instead of my scanner and ink jet and am very impressed with it. I wasn’t expecting much for the price ($24 after rebates) but it surprised me with how well it works. It starts up within seconds and shuts down automatically. This is not something you would use for a business, it copies slow and does not feed multiple documents. It is nice and portable and is perfect for coping a few pages every week.
This user-friendly machine does exactly what it’s supposed to do; turns out decent copies at a reasonable rate. I use it for copying in my home—may be adequate for small business owners who only need a few pages at a time, too. Was tired of the inconvenience of running around looking for a public copier, maybe leaving an important paper under the lid of the printer, etc.—and the latest threat—that the public printer may be retaining info from items being printed. This was a good purchase for me & I’d recommend it to others, too.
