Canon Copier ImageClass MF5770

The Canon ImageClass MF5770 is a step up from the MF5750 in that it offers networking capability as well as monochrome laser multifunctionality. The MF5770 is also aimed firmly at business. This is certainly a business class workgroup machine, and would do well in a small to medium office that weren’t heavy users. It offers a lot and has enough features to keep the most demanding office satisfied.

Out of the box, the device can be configured and functioning in minutes. The configuration process is simple and straightforward, and went without a hitch in our tests. The MF5770 comes with USB, Ethernet and parallel connections built in. Ethernet and USB worked as soon as they were plugged in and the drivers installed on the client PCs. The user guide is clear and easy to follow, which would be suitable for users of all levels.

The control panel is laid out well, with enough space between buttons for even the largest fingers. The layout is logical and easy to follow, each function having its own little are broken up by a little LCD screen.

The build quality is good, with a solid construction that should make owners feel more relaxed. None of the trays feel flimsy or weak, and it looks like it could last a long time.

The standard paper tray holds 250 and the multipurpose tray a further 50. Toner is managed well, and a standard cartridge is good for 2500 sheets. The single cartridge construction means that there is no drum to consider, which reduces maintenance time and cost.

Printing and Copying produced good quality pages. Text was clean and clear, pages containing images were acceptable for a laser multifunction. The speed of operation is also acceptable with a print or copy coming out at up to 20 pages per minute.

Scanning was okay. It can handle resolutions of up to 1200 x 2400 in 48 bit color and seems to produce good clear scans. The only thing you can’t do with it is scan over a network.

This is a versatile machine that has enough features to serve any office well. Good print quality makes this a contender for those who don’t need to print or copy in color. Reasonable toner costs, with no extra expense for drums makes good economical sense. The MF5770 is a good purchase for almost any small office.
