Canon Image Runner 2530i Copier with DADF and AB1 Document Feeder with Pedestal

Canon imageRUNNER 2530i: Efficient Monochrome Performance

The Canon imageRUNNER 2530i is a robust, black-and-white A3 multifunctional printer tailored for small to medium-sized workgroups that require high-volume output without the premium price tag of a color unit. This configuration includes the DADF-AB1 (Duplex Automatic Document Feeder) and the Plain Pedestal, providing a complete, floor-standing office solution.

At Kara Nigeria, this bundle is currently priced at ₦2,875,000.00.

2. DADF-AB1 Feeder: This 50-sheet automatic feeder allows you to scan and copy double-sided originals effortlessly, supporting paper sizes up to A3.

Why Choose the iR 2530i?

The iR 2530i is designed for offices that value longevity and ease of maintenance. While the faster iR 2545i is better for very large print runs, the 2530i strikes a perfect balance for offices printing between 2,000 and 15,000 pages per month.

Comparison: iR 2530i vs. iR 2630i

If you are considering whether to invest in the newer 2600 series, here is how the older (but cheaper) 2530i stacks up:

Consumables and Running Costs

The iR 2530i is famous for its low cost-per-page. It uses the Canon NPG-51 Toner, which provides an estimated yield of 14,600 images (at 6% coverage). This makes it significantly more economical over time compared to smaller desktop laser printers.

Where to Buy in Nigeria

For a genuine unit with all standard components and local support, Kara.com.ng is a trusted partner.

1. Verified New Stock: Ensures you aren't receiving a "fairly used" machine sold as new.
2. Logistics Support: Kara handles the heavy lifting, delivering this large-format machine safely across Nigeria.
3. Warranty Support: Access to official Canon service centers for long-term peace of mind.

Maintenance Tips

1. Protect Your Power: Given the 1.3kW peak power draw, always use a Servo Stabilizer (3.5KVA minimum).
2. Use Original Toner: The NPG-51 cartridge is designed to work with the internal drum. Using "compatible" toners often results in "ghosting" or grey backgrounds on your prints.
3. Clean the Scanner Glass: To avoid lines on your copies, wipe the narrow "slit" glass under the DADF weekly with a soft cloth.

Conclusion

The Canon imageRUNNER 2530i remains a premier choice for businesses that need a "workhorse" copier without the high price of a color machine or the complexity of newer smart platforms.
