We at William Paterson University just purchased 11 of the Canon 400's.
They  were installed just a week ago so I have no long term assessment of
them. The short term assessment of them is that thye are wonderful. They
are easy to use and give excellent prints. They are somewhat slower than
the 3M's we replaced but when the overall time spent with jams and
other problems with the old machines are considered, there is little
difference in printing time. I have informally asked patrons how they like
the new machines, and the answer is invariable "I love them". We chose the
Canon because of the price and the fact that, with software, we can e-mail
copeis made from microform to patrons without making a paper copy. It also
works withe Ariel whic we will be getting in the near future.
