What is the toner yield of the imageRUNNER 1643iF?
The T06 toner is rated at approximately 20,500 pages. For an A4 office machine, that is a high-end yield: at 2,000 pages a month, one cartridge lasts nearly ten months. A toner is already installed at setup; the machine, incidentally, weighs 19 kg without it.
Does the imageRUNNER 1643iF's document feeder read both sides in a single pass?
Yes, it is a single-pass duplex document feeder with a 50-sheet capacity. When sending, allow for 70 images per minute in black and white for a double-sided original, compared with 38 for single-sided: scanning both sides here is faster than processing them separately.
Does the imageRUNNER 1643iF's scanner scan in colour?
Yes, even though printing is monochrome. When sending, allow for 38 images per minute in black and white versus 13 in colour for a single-sided original, and 70 versus 26 in duplex. Files are output as TIFF, JPEG or PDF, including searchable, encrypted or digitally signed PDF.
Can you place a book or a three-dimensional object on the glass?
Yes. The glass accepts a sheet, an open book and three-dimensional objects up to 20 mm thick — a vehicle registration card in its sleeve, a badge, a small case. It is a detail rarely given, and it saves you damaging the lid by forcing it down on a thick original.
How many sheets can the imageRUNNER 1643iF hold?
650 sheets as standard: a 550-sheet cassette and a 100-sheet multi-purpose tray. Up to three 550-sheet PF-C1 paper feeders can be added, bringing the total to 2,300 sheets. Output remains limited to 150 sheets, something to watch on long print runs.
Which papers can go through the 1643iF's multi-purpose tray?
From 60 to 199 g/m²: thin, plain, heavy, coloured, recycled and bond paper, labels, and No. 10, Monarch, ISO-C5 and DL envelopes, in custom sizes from 76.2 × 127 to 216 × 355.6 mm. The cassette and automatic duplex printing, for their part, stop at 120 g/m².
Is fax included on the imageRUNNER 1643iF?
Yes, as standard — that is what the “F” in the model name indicates. The modem reaches 33.6 kbps in Super G3, the memory holds up to 512 pages and the address book accepts 281 speed-dial numbers. Internet fax via SMTP is also supported.
How does the imageRUNNER 1643iF connect to the network?
Via Gigabit Ethernet 1000Base-T, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n or Wi-Fi Direct connection, which lets a mobile device connect to it without going through the company network. Two USB host ports complete the set, for a USB flash drive or a badge reader.
Can you print from Google Drive or OneDrive on the 1643iF?
Yes, cloud connectivity is built in: Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive and uniFLOW Online can be accessed from the 12.7 cm colour touchscreen, for printing as well as scanning. AirPrint, Mopria, Canon PRINT Business and Canon Print Service round out mobile support.
Does the connection cable come with the imageRUNNER 1643iF?
No. The box contains the machine and its toner cartridge; the network or USB cable must be purchased separately. You will also need a socket able to handle a peak of 1,420 W at 220-240 V, with the maximum current draw rated at 3.9 A.
How much space should you allow for the imageRUNNER 1643iF?
480 × 464 × 452 mm for approximately 19 kg without toner: it fits on a low cabinet or a trolley. Allow 480 × 905 mm of clear space with the cassette open. Two optional stands are available to raise it without additional furniture.
How long does the 1643iF take to be ready to copy?
14 seconds or less at power-on and 4 seconds or less when waking from sleep. The first copy then comes out in 6.3 seconds from the glass and 6.4 seconds from the feeder. In standby, the machine uses approximately 13.6 W, and 0.7 W in sleep mode.
Is the PostScript driver supplied with the imageRUNNER 1643iF?
Yes, as standard. The installed languages are UFR II, PCL 6, PCL 5 and Adobe PostScript 3, with 93 Roman fonts for PCL and 136 for PostScript. A workstation sending layout files therefore needs no additional kit, and direct printing from a USB flash drive accepts TIFF, JPEG and PDF files.
How can you secure printing on the imageRUNNER 1643iF?
An accessory kit for a MiCard B1 card reader is available as an option: each user then releases their jobs by swiping a badge, which stops a sensitive document from sitting in the output tray. The machine is new and covered by a 1-year warranty, with the invoice serving as the warranty document.
