Is this the right printer for you?

Who the Canon imageRUNNER ADVANCE 4545i III is actually for

Most printer pages just tell you what a printer does. Here's the honest version: when this machine is the right choice, when it's fine, and when you should look at something else. We sell a lot of these for a reason, but the reason is not "every office."

Best fit

Pick this if...

  • You run a department of 30-75 people that needs a floor-standing A3 (11x17) mono MFP and prints 8,000-25,000 pages a month.
  • You scan stacks of mixed-size originals daily and need single-pass duplex at 160 ipm to keep up — this generation includes the DADF-A1 standard.
  • You want the latest III-generation firmware with McAfee Embedded Control standard and the updated security policy framework.
  • You already manage a Canon fleet on uniFLOW Online or imageWARE Enterprise Management Console.
  • You need 11x17 tabloid output in-house and want headroom — this unit is rated for 175,000 pages/month.
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • You print 5,000-8,000 pages a month — overbuilt for that, but the lease amortizes fine and you get the standard single-pass ADF as a bonus.
  • You're replacing a 4545i or 4545i II — same chassis, same operator UI; the upgrade is firmware, security stack, and TEC efficiency (0.62 kWh).
  • You need finishing (staple, hole-punch, booklet) — the inner finishers and external Booklet Finisher-Y1 bolt on, but plan for the footprint.
  • You want Bluetooth LE for mobile auth — it's an optional add-on on the III.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • You print under 4,000 pages a month — you're paying for 45 ppm and a 240-pound floor unit you barely use. Get the 4525i III or a desktop MFP.
  • You need color. Mono only — go to the Canon imageRUNNER ADVANCE C-series.
  • You print more than 30,000 pages a month — step up to the 4551i III (51 ppm) for better per-page economics.
  • You want a small footprint — base unit is 23.1 x 29.1 x 47 inches at 240 lb floor-standing.
  • You don't have a Canon dealer or managed print contract — GPR-57 toner is sold through Canon dealer channels, not big-box retail.
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

The Canon imageRUNNER ADVANCE 4545i III is the third-generation 45-ppm model in Canon's 4500-series A3 mono laser MFP family and the speed-tier sweet spot for mid-to-large workgroups. It prints and copies up to 45 ppm on Letter (32 ppm on Letter-R, 25 ppm on Legal, 22 ppm on 11x17), with a first-copy-out time as fast as 3.8 seconds and true 1200 x 1200 dpi resolution. The big difference vs. the 4525i III and 4535i III is that the Single Pass DADF-A1 is standard on this model — 150-sheet capacity, single-pass duplex scanning at 160 ipm in B&W or color. Standard paper capacity is 1,200 sheets across two 550-sheet cassettes plus a 100-sheet stack bypass, expandable to 6,350 sheets with the optional Cassette Feeding Unit-AN1 and Paper Deck Unit-F1. Max monthly duty cycle is 175,000 pages; Canon's recommended volume is 8,000-25,000/month. The 10.1-inch WSVGA color touchscreen runs the latest ADVANCE UI with My ADVANCE personalization, McAfee Embedded Control standard, the updated security policy framework, and a 0.62 kWh TEC rating. Connectivity is Gigabit Ethernet plus Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n standard. The 4545i III is the unit most departments end up on when the 4535i feels too slow and the 4551i feels overspecified. Buyers regret it when they could have stepped up to the 4551i III for the extra 6 ppm at marginal cost.

Supplies & consumables

Toner, yields, and what to actually reorder

The #1 question we get on this printer is "which toner do I buy?" Short answer: you have two cartridge options and a drum. Standard yield TN830 covers roughly 1,200 pages. High yield TN830XL covers roughly 4,500 pages and is the better value for most offices. Pick XL unless you print very little.

The drum unit (DR810) is separate and usually lasts 15,000 to 30,000 pages before it needs replacing. At a typical small office volume, expect to change it once every 2 to 4 years.

If you lease this printer through us, toner and drum are included. You never pay for supplies separately. That's usually the better deal once you add up real costs over 3 years.

The 4545i III has a higher monthly duty cycle (175,000 pages) and recommended volume (8,000-25,000 pages), whereas the DX 4825i is suited for 3,000-15,000 pages.
