FC-500

Five copies per minute was a genuine step up when the FC-500 arrived in the mid-90s, lifting the Family Copier out of its original 4 cpm bracket. The E-16/E-30 cartridge class carried over, and like its predecessors it is fully analog with no published spec sheet of its own. Each Canon E-40 (1491A002) lasts about 4,000 pages.
