When you're choosing a used commercial printer or copier, the real question is what you'll ask it to do every day. These four used machines range from $260 to $3,000, and that spread reflects differences in speed, color, and workload capacity. The Canon imageCLASS D530 is a compact black-and-white all-in-one; the Konica Minolta Bizhub PRO 951 is a high-volume black-and-white copier; the Ricoh IM C300 brings color printing and copying together at a moderate price; and the OKI C931e is a color laser production printer with a high-capacity feeder.
Quick Take

- Ricoh IM C300: The color copier/printer for offices that want color without the production price.
- Konica Minolta Bizhub PRO 951: The high-speed black-and-white production machine for large copy runs.

Decision Matrix
- Copier, scanner, and printer in one compact unit: The Canon imageCLASS D530 fits when your documents are black-and-white and your volume is light.
- Color at a moderate price: The Ricoh IM C300 is the best match when you need both color prints and color copies without the top price.
- High-speed black-and-white production: The Konica Minolta Bizhub PRO 951 is the right pick for long copy runs where speed matters.
- Color production with large paper capacity: The OKI C931e suits printing-heavy offices that want fine detail in their output.
Canon imageCLASS D530
This all-in-one keeps the entry cost low at $260 while covering printing, copying, and scanning. It prints at 26 ppm in black and white and has duplex capability. The 600 x 600 dpi output and 64 MB of memory are modest, so it suits text-heavy office work. A flatbed scanner and front-loading paper tray are easy to use at a desk. The internal counter read 14,842 pages, pointing to significant remaining life. The monochrome-only input is the main limitation; color printing isn't available. For a small office, it's a low-cost way to get a dependable printer/copier.
Konica Minolta Bizhub PRO 951
The Bizhub PRO 951 is aimed at high-volume black-and-white copying. It runs at 95 ppm and includes automatic duplexing, keeping long jobs moving. The 15-inch color touchscreen control panel manages tasks easily. This used unit has some scratches and a broken wheel, and it's large at 39 x 35.9 x 48.5 inches, so floor space matters. At $2,950, it's an investment in speed and capacity. Power cord and user manual are included, but the cosmetic wear means you should be comfortable with imperfections. It's the right choice if you move a lot of paper daily.
Ricoh IM C300
The IM C300 is the balanced color option. It prints and copies at 31 ppm in both color and black. At $500, it costs far less than the production-level machines here. The used units have print counts between 3,500 and 9,300, suggesting relatively early life, and they're described as tested and working. Local pickup is required, so you need to be near the equipment. The multifunction design covers printing and copying in a single unit. If your priority is color without the highest price, this is the model to start with.
OKI C931e
The OKI C931e is the production-class color printer in this group. Black output reaches 50 ppm, and the 1200 x 1200 dpi resolution gives it the finest detail of the four. The four-tray high-capacity feeder reduces reloading during long color runs. A3 and A4 paper sizes are supported, so it handles standard office sheets and larger layouts. At $3,000, it's the most expensive of the four, and the feeder and paper-size support make it a larger unit. For a color production printer, this is the serious option.
Final Recommendation by Use Case
- Small office with light black-and-white work: The Canon imageCLASS D530 is the compact all-in-one for copying, scanning, and printing.
- Color-conscious office: The Ricoh IM C300 brings color copying and printing into reach at a lower price than the other color machine.
- High-volume black-and-white copying: The Konica Minolta Bizhub PRO 951 is built for long runs and busy workgroups.
- Color production printing: The OKI C931e is the choice when color output volume and paper capacity drive your buying decision.
