Is this the right printer for you?

Who the Canon imageRUNNER ADVANCE DX 8986i 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 print 60,000 to 175,000 mono pages a month and need 44 ppm A3.
  • You need TPM 2.0 and McAfee for security baseline.
  • You'll spec saddle-stitch and stapling finishers.
  • You scan-to-cloud at 270 ipm into uniFLOW or SMB.
  • You want My ADVANCE per-user personalization on the touchscreen.
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • You're at 50,000 pages with growth expected.
  • You'll start with stapling and add booklet later.
  • You print a mix of letter and A3 reports.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • You need color output.
  • You need 100+ ppm sustained, the 8905i (105 ppm) fits better.
  • Your volume is under 40,000 pages, the 6980i is right-sized.
  • You don't need finishing or A3, look at A4 mono.
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

The Canon imageRUNNER ADVANCE DX 8986i is the 86 ppm A3 monochrome MFP that sits between the 8905i and 8995i for enterprise environments doing 60,000 to 175,000 pages a month. It prints letter at 86 ppm and A3 at 44 ppm, runs a 1.8 GHz dual-core with 4 GB RAM and a 256 GB SSD (1 TB optional), and uses the 10.1-inch ADVANCE DX touchscreen with My ADVANCE personalization. Maximum paper capacity is 7,700 sheets. The single-pass DADF scans duplex at 270 ipm at 300 dpi with instant scan-to-cloud. Security includes TPM 2.0, user authentication, McAfee, TLS, encrypted PDF. Finishing options cover staple, saddle-stitch booklet, hole punch. The thing buyers regret: confusing the 8986i with the 8905i (the 8905i is faster at 105 ppm). If you don't need 105 ppm, the 8986i is the better dollar-per-page in this class. Below 50,000 pages a month, the 6980i covers it.

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.
