Is this the right printer for you?

Who the Canon PlotWave 3000 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 50 to 200 A1/D-size plots a month for engineering or architecture.
  • You want Radiant Fusing instant-on with 40-second first-print.
  • You'll add a CCD scanner for blueprint capture at 1200 x 1200 dpi.
  • You need up to 12 rolls of media for mixed bond and vellum.
  • You're paired with AutoCAD, Revit, or BIM 360 upstream.
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • It's fine if you only need 4 ppm A1 — daily volume is light.
  • It's fine if you keep the standard 1-2 roll config.
  • It's fine if you scan 50 sheets a week.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • Skip this if you do daily heavy plot runs — go to the PlotWave 365 or 450.
  • Skip this if you need 6+ ppm A1 (PlotWave 365 starts there).
  • Skip this if you need color wide-format (look at ColorWave).
  • Skip this if you only need a desktop dual-roll printer.
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

Canon's PlotWave 3000 is a monochrome wide-format printer/copier/scanner for technical drawings, blueprints, and schematics, running at 4 D/A1 pages per minute and 2 E/A0 pages per minute on rolls up to 36 inches. Radiant Fusing technology gives instant-on with 40-second first-print time, the POWERsync controller runs Windows 10 IoT Enterprise, and the 10.4 inch ClearConnect touch panel handles job submission. Standard config holds 1-2 rolls (up to 12 max with optional drawers) at 400 m roll length, and a CCD scanner option adds 1200 x 1200 dpi capture with automatic width detection. Optional CCD scanner adds 1200 x 1200 dpi blueprint capture with automatic width detection, and an Express CIS scanner adds faster monochrome capture at 600 x 600 dpi. The chassis weighs about 540 lb and the footprint is roughly 56 x 31 inches with the standard 2-roll config. Power runs on 110-127 V at 12 A. Honest regret: at 4 ppm A1 the 3000 is the slowest in the line — for an architecture firm doing daily plot runs the PlotWave 365 or 450 is a better fit.

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.

Yes. The MFC-L2759DW ships with a high-yield 4,500-page starter toner cartridge, which is roughly 3 to 6 months of toner for a typical small office. Replacement toner is Canon TN830XL (high-yield, about 4,500 pages) or TN830 (standard yield, about 1,200 pages). When you lease through us with toner included, you never pay for toner separately.

The Canon PlotWave 3000 is the refreshed version of the MFC-L2750DW with updated firmware, a longer-life drum, and an expanded starter toner yield (4,500 pages versus 3,000). Print speed, automatic 2-sided print and scan, and connectivity are identical. For most small offices the 2759DW is the better long-term value because of the larger included toner.

Yes, for small offices printing under about 2,500 pages per month. It's fast at 36 ppm, handles auto 2-sided print and scan, supports Wi-Fi and Ethernet, and has a 50-page document feeder for multi-page scans. If you regularly print more than 5,000 pages per month or need color, step up to a commercial-grade multifunction printer — see our commercial printer options.

No. The MFC-L2759DW is monochrome (black and white) only. It cannot print color. If you need color, look at the Brother MFC-L3750CDW or a commercial color multifunction printer like the Canon imageRUNNER ADVANCE DX or Konica Minolta bizhub series.

Canon includes a 1-year limited manufacturer warranty on the MFC-L2759DW when purchased new from an authorized reseller. 1-800 Office Solutions is an authorized Canon reseller. Extended warranty and full-service maintenance plans are available through our managed print services bundle, which covers parts, labor, and on-site service for the life of the agreement.

Yes. Free delivery is included on every Canon PlotWave 3000 order shipped within the continental United States. Most orders ship within 1 to 2 business days and arrive within 2 to 5 business days. Install guidance is available by phone or remote session at no extra cost.
