Is this the right printer for you?

Who the Canon Color imageRUNNER C5180 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 or in-plant of 50-100 people that needs 51 ppm in both black and color from one box.
  • You print 12,000-25,000 pages a month with a roughly even color/black mix.
  • You produce marketing collateral, sales kits, or internal publications and need finishing in-house.
  • You need consistent throughput on long runs — 51 ppm sustained, 200,000-page rated chassis, 78,000-impression black toner.
  • You already have Canon imageWARE Enterprise Management Console and want this on the same fleet.
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • You print 6,000-12,000 pages a month — the C5180 is overbuilt for that, but if you need the 51 ppm color speed for one big job a week, the math still works.
  • You need finishing — saddle-stitch, multi-position staple, hole-punch all bolt on, plan for 20+ inches of additional footprint.
  • You're consolidating two C4080s into one C5180 — capacity and speed easily absorb the combined volume.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • You print under 4,000 pages a month — 200,000-page-rated production-class hardware is the wrong tool. Get an iR-ADV or desktop MFP.
  • You need Wi-Fi standard — wired Ethernet/USB only on this generation.
  • You need 20-amp dedicated circuit access — the C5180 pulls 120V/20A and won't share a 15A office circuit cleanly.
  • You print 13x19 SRA3 — max sheet is 12x18.
  • You want modern endpoint security (TLS 1.3, current SMB versions) — this is a 2007-era platform; fine behind firewall, not for new HIPAA/PCI deployments.
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

The Canon Color imageRUNNER C5180 is a floor-standing production-class A3 color MFP built for departments and in-plants (50-100 users) that need 51 ppm in both black and color. It prints and copies at true 1200 x 1200 dpi via Canon's four-beam laser scanner, with first page out in 6.2 seconds black and 8.0 seconds color. The 100-sheet duplexing ADF scans at 70 ipm (300 dpi) to email, FTP, internet fax, and document management systems. Standard paper capacity is 1,200 sheets across two 550-sheet drawers plus the bypass; max scales to 5,000 sheets across six sources with the optional tandem trays and decks. Twin-belt fusing keeps cover stock and cardstock at full speed. The 200,000-page monthly duty cycle and 78,000-impression black toner make this the right tier for marketing departments cranking out sales collateral and in-plants doing on-demand booklets. Where it earns its place: equal black/color speed plus full finishing without sending jobs to a print shop. The thing buyers regret: power and footprint. It needs a dedicated 20A circuit and weighs 295 lb on a 35-inch base before any finishers. If your monthly volume is under 6,000 pages, you're paying for headroom you'll never use.

FAQ

Canon Color imageRUNNER C5180, common questions

The questions we get asked most often on this model. If yours isn't here, call (888) 574-5120 and get an answer in about 30 seconds.

Yes, the Canon Color imageRUNNER C5180 ships with a starter toner cartridge. The black toner yields approximately 27,000 to 36,000 pages, while the cyan, magenta, and yellow toners each yield around 36,000 pages at 5% coverage. Replacement toners are high-yield GPR-20 models (1069B001AA for black, 1068B001AA for cyan, 1067B001AA for magenta, and 1066B001AA for yellow). When you lease through us with toner included, you never pay for toner separately.
The Canon Color imageRUNNER C5180 is a production-class A3 color MFP with 51 ppm in both black and color, designed for high-volume environments (50-100 users), while the Canon imageRUNNER ADVANCE DX 4825i is a monochrome A3 MFP with 25 ppm, suited for smaller workgroups (10-30 users). The C5180 offers color printing, higher speed, and a larger monthly duty cycle (200,000 pages), whereas the DX 4825i is more compact and cost-effective for lower-volume needs (3,000-15,000 pages/month). For small offices with color requirements, the C5180 provides superior output but may be overkill for basic monochrome tasks.
The Canon Color imageRUNNER C5180 is designed for high-volume environments (50-100 users) with a monthly duty cycle of 200,000 pages and 51 ppm speed, making it excessive for most small businesses. Its large footprint, power requirements, and high capacity are better suited for departments or in-plants. If your monthly volume is under 6,000 pages, consider a more compact and cost-effective option.
Yes, the Canon Color imageRUNNER C5180 is a full-color MFP that prints and copies at true 1200 x 1200 dpi in both black and color, with equal speeds of 51 ppm for both.
