No, it's not a desktop laser printer, it's much more...
...combined with Super G3 fast fax technology and high quality laser output, the L160 is a fast and compact multifunction device with added benefits of standalone Fax, Print, Copy and optional Telephone handset.
No waiting to send With the L160's inbuilt Super G3 fax modem, Fax your documents at a speed of three seconds* per page. Large documents are scanned directly into memory at two seconds per page as it transmits. And if the line is busy, the L160 memorises and sends the document when it has cleared, automatically.
No waiting to receive With a print speed as fast as a comparable stand-alone printer, there's no waiting to receive documents either. Connect the FAX-L160 to your computer via the simple USB connection to produce high quality 600dpi laser output at a speed of 14 pages per minute, even while scanning or sending a fax.
No loss of data With L160's 340-page memory you won't lose an important document. Whether paper or toner runs out, or even power fails, the L160's memory back-up retains all incoming documents for printing later. Faxes can also be stored in memory to be sent later, with the convenience of 15 one-touch and 131 group speed dial keys.
No need for concern With L160's reporting system - that the fax sent has reached its destination. As the paper goes into the machine, it is easy to visualise it printing on the remote side. The feeling of reassurance comes when a print confirms whether OK or NG. Activity reports and Multi TX/RX reports keep record of all incoming and outgoing transactions.
No flawed output With both high quality resolution of 600 x 600dpi output and Canon's Ultra High Quality (UHQ) processing technology, even the most detailed images are received as intended - even detailed diagrams and photos. Beats traditional thermal and ink jet models, any day.
*Based on sending a standard document (Canon Fax Standard Chart No.1) to a Canon fax, excluding control times and without telephone line interference.
