It also offers unparalleled flexibility with your office´s existing IT infrastructure and provides a surprisingly elegant design that will surely complement any office décor.

The C451 produces presentation-quality outputs quickly and efficiently. It churns out 45 pages per minute of colour or black & white. And now, the C451 also boasts some of the fastest first copy times on the market at 4.8 seconds in black & white and a class-leading 6.5 seconds in colour. The C451´s superior text reproduction technology achieves low noise and uniform reproduction of both black and colour text and fine lines.

Dramatically expand the number of IP addresses used with your C451. IPv6 solves a number of problems associated with the past standard IPv4, including the limited number of available IPv4 addresses. With IPv6, all devices on the Internet have their own IP addresses, enabling direct communication between devices. IPv6 also helps improve security functions.
