*Canon measures print speed after the first print in Fast Q5 mode on plain paper, based on internal testing. Speed varies with the number of copies and the size, type, and orientation of the paper.
**Canon says scan rate is proportional across the supported resolutions, and quoted top speeds may be limited by USB 2.0 bandwidth and are not guaranteed for all media types. ***Scan accuracy may vary with the operating environment and media thickness.
The TX-1300 MFP Z36 system contains multiple components, some made by third parties. Canon says any limited warranties that come with those components pass to the purchaser.
