Canon MAXIFY GX3010 Driver– The Canon ImageClass LBP246dw, priced at $299.99, closely resembles its predecessor, the Canon LBP236dw, our current Editor’s Choice for mono laser printers in busy offices. While slightly faster at 42 ppm, the higher resolution sets it apart.
Design and Setup:
Lightweight and User-Friendly
Weighing 19.2 pounds and measuring 9.8 x 15.7 x 14.7 inches (HWD), the LBP246dw is easily movable and desk-friendly. Initial setup is a breeze, involving the removal of packing tape and connecting the power cord. The 100-sheet multi-purpose tray increases depth but adds convenience. Software installation, facilitated by the provided disc, offers network or USB connection options, with Canon’s proprietary, PCL6, and PS3 drivers.
Paper Handling and Capacity:
Efficient and Expandable
Typical for its class, the LBP246dw includes a 250-sheet drawer, a 100-sheet multi-purpose tray, and automatic duplexing. Expandable with a $199 550-sheet drawer, it meets diverse needs. Canon recommends a duty cycle of 750 to 4,000 pages, with an optional drawer providing a 900-sheet capacity. Optimal for weekly printing with attention to running costs.
Security Features:
Private Printing for Confidential Documents
Building on the LBP236dw’s features, the LBP246dw introduces private printing or Secure Print. This feature ensures document confidentiality by requiring a PIN entry at the front panel before printing. Ideal for preventing sensitive documents from being left unattended in the output tray.

Running Costs and Toner Cartridges:
Analyzing Cost-Effectiveness
While the LBP246dw boasts a higher resolution, its running cost is slightly higher at 2.44 cents per page, compared to the LBP236dw’s 2.25 cents. For 10,000 pages, this difference amounts to $19. Factor in monthly printing expectations for a comprehensive cost analysis. Notably, Canon’s toner cartridges include the imaging unit, eliminating the need for additional expenses.
Conclusion:
Making an Informed Decision
In the mono laser printer market, the Canon ImageClass LBP246dw presents a compelling option, balancing enhanced resolution with manageable running costs. Consider your specific needs and budget to determine whether the incremental features justify the marginal increase in price and running expenses.
