Why Choose the iR 2545i Over Other Models?
While the newer iR 2945i offers more modern cloud features and a color touch panel, the iR 2545i remains a popular "value" choice for businesses that prioritize pure performance and lower initial capital expenditure. It is a proven workhorse with readily available spare parts and toner (Canon NPG-50/51) across Nigeria.

Tips for Maintenance and Longevity
- Original Consumables: Always use original Canon NPG-50/51 toner. Counterfeit toners can cause "leaking" inside the machine, leading to expensive cleaning and drum replacements.
- Power Protection: Due to the 1.6kW peak power consumption, always use a 3.0KVA or higher Servo Stabilizer to protect the machine from the power fluctuations common in Nigeria.
- Regular Servicing: Dust is the enemy of high-speed scanners. Clean the DADF glass weekly with a lint-free cloth to avoid lines on your scanned documents.
