Is this the right printer for you?

Who the Canon imageRUNNER ADVANCE C256iF II 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 need a desktop color MFP for a 5-15 person team at 26 ppm.
  • You want native scan-to-Google-Drive and scan-to-OneDrive on a Canon device.
  • You need fax included rather than optional.
  • You scan duplex on a 50-sheet DADF and print 1,500-4,500 pages a month.
  • You want Canon's imageRUNNER ADVANCE interface in a desktop footprint.
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • It's fine if you accept a refurbished unit — most C256iF II inventory is refurb.
  • It's fine if you start at 650 sheets and add cassettes over time.
  • It's fine if your team prints letter and legal only.
  • It's fine if uniFLOW or PaperCut handles cost recovery.
  • It's fine if your finishing stops at offset stacking.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • Skip this if you need A3 ledger — pick a C2000-series unit.
  • Skip this if you want new-in-box availability — go to the C256iF III.
  • Skip this if you print over 8,000 pages a month.
  • Skip this if a Brother MFC-L2759DW would cover monochrome needs cheaper.
  • Skip this if you need built-in booklet finishing.
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

Canon imageRUNNER ADVANCE C256iF II is the second-gen update to the C255iF, holding 26 ppm color and black on letter-size A4 with the 7-inch touchscreen, 650-sheet base input, and included fax. The II generation tightens the imageRUNNER ADVANCE menu and adds support for newer cloud connectors out of the box, so scan-to-Google-Drive or scan-to-OneDrive works without firmware gymnastics. Paper handling tops at 2,300 sheets across optional cassettes, the 50-sheet DADF scans duplex in a single pass, and 1200 x 1200 dpi keeps client-facing decks looking sharp. Compared to a Brother MFC-L2759DW, this is the same desktop footprint with color, fax, and Canon's badge release through uniFLOW. The 50-sheet DADF runs 51 ipm duplex, warm-up takes about 25 seconds from cold, and standard memory is 2 GB with 250 GB internal HDD that handles document hold and box workflows. The regret buyers report: the II generation was a brief release before the III shipped, so dealer inventory is patchy — you'll see refurb units more often than new.

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.
