Is this the right printer for you?

Who the Canon imageRUNNER ADVANCE C356iF 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 A4 color output at 10,000-25,000 pages monthly for a small office.
  • You handle two-sided originals daily and want duplex DADF.
  • You need fax built in alongside print, copy, and scan.
  • You want a smaller footprint than full A3 multifunctions.
  • You require McAfee Embedded Control and AES encryption.
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • It's fine if you print 5,000-10,000 pages monthly with headroom.
  • It's fine if you don't use fax often but want it available.
  • It's fine if you stick with wired Ethernet only.
  • It's fine if you don't use AirPrint daily.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • Skip this if you ever need A3 or tabloid output — go C3530i II.
  • Skip this if you don't need fax — save with the C356i (no F).
  • Skip this if you print over 25,000 pages monthly.
  • Skip this if you want a desktop unit.
  • Skip this if you need uniFLOW Online and current-gen DX features.
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

The Canon imageRUNNER ADVANCE C356iF II is a 36 ppm color A4 multifunction with the 'F' configuration adding fax for small offices needing letter-only color output with a smaller footprint than the A3 lineup. Duplex DADF feeds two-sided originals in one pass, output runs 1200 x 1200 dpi color, and paper handling around 2,300 sheets standard expandable via optional trays. Wired Ethernet and USB, optional Wi-Fi, AirPrint, and Mopria. Security includes McAfee Embedded Control, AES encryption, 802.1x, and Secure Print. The regret on this machine: it's letter-only — if you ever need to print 11 x 17 layouts, brochures, or tabloid forms, you'll be stuck. The C3530i II at 30 ppm A3 is only slightly slower and adds tabloid capability. Toner cartridge yield runs in the 18,000-page range color and 30,000 mono. uniFLOW Embedded handles secure release print and pull printing across a fleet. The 'F' suffix indicates the included fax module — confirm fax line requirements during install.

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.
