Generation-2 B&W multifunction copier at 51 ppm with 2,300-sheet capacity for legal and small-office workgroups of 15 to 30.
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."
Mid-volume B&W multifunction copier built on Canon's second-gen imageRUNNER ADVANCE platform. The 4551i II prints and copies at 51 pages per minute, with standard 2,300-sheet capacity expandable to 6,350. Targets workgroups of 15 to 30 people in legal, accounting, and small-office finance. Honest regret: this is a generation-2 unit — Canon's roadmap deprecates the second-gen ADVANCE platform within 4 years, so spare parts and toner availability will tighten after 2028.
Established small offices replacing failed first-gen 4500i units pick the 4551i II to maintain workflow compatibility without retraining staff.

Three ways to get this printer, each priced to match how you actually use it. Most small offices lease because toner and maintenance are bundled. If you know what you need, buy outright. If you already own one, just reorder supplies.
Final lease rate depends on term length, credit profile, and bundled supplies. Outright purchase and supplies pricing varies with bundled warranty, install packages, and order volume. Request a quote for exact pricing.
