Canon Copier ImageClass MF6530

I bought the Canon Copier ImageClass MF6530 to replace a Copystar that had unfortunately ended its useful life. The Copystar served me faithfully for many years until the engine died and it wouldn’t even wake up.

I chose the MF6530 because I trust the Canon name and it offered just about everything I needed from a device. The main reason was the almost instant response when I wanted to use it. It uses the same lower power technology that most electronics do now, with a low power ‘standby’ mode. Canon RAPID toner enables it to warm up almost instantly, certainly within a couple of seconds and is ready for use.

It processes my work at a rate of 23 pages per minute, whatever type of printing or copying I need doing. My stuff is mainly text but there are occasions when I print images or graphs, and the MF6530 doesn’t even blink. The built-in duplexer enables it to print double sided, which is handy for when I print leaflets or handouts. The automatic document feeder also means I can dump a load of copying into it and leave it to it. This simple, effective operation is what I paid for. I don’t want to have to stand over a machine and hand feed it paper, or make sure it’s working properly.

Apart from the quick response, the print quality is also something that made me choose this model over the competition. As I said, I often print leaflets and some of them can be quite image intensive. The MF6530 takes them all in its stride and produces a great quality print or copy. The grayscale makes them almost look colored, and are definitely accurate to the original when making copies. There is no visible banding or artifacts when I do mine at least. All prints look good enough to share with clients and staff alike.

The MF6530 comes with a scanner and fax too, but I don’t use them much. I tested them both when I first got the machine and they worked like a charm. The scanner copies in color and can do so across the USB to my computer. The fax is a G3, which is the fastest out there and sent a test sheet in a little under 3 seconds.

I like my MF6530, it does what I want it to do without any fuss or problems.

Canon imageCLASS MF8180C

We have had the Canon imageCLASS MF8180C since it came out a while back. We have always had Canon products, they are easy to use and value for money.

The MF8180C was a cost-saving exercise that paid off quite well. Its a printer, copier, fax and scanner all in one and ideal for our little office. We dont use the scanner much, but the fax comes in handy once in a while. Its a Super G3 so whizzes through transmissions like a knife through butter. It send a whole sheet in a couple of seconds and will keep going as long as you want. It also has enough memory to hold 256 pages, but we never use that much. I think the most we have ever used is 47.

The printer is quick and can do color and black and white. The quality of the prints is really good, with the black bits being really black instead of dark gray like a lot of printers we have had. All the lines are straight, as are the corners of letters and text. Printing images and photos is something the MF8180C does well I think. They are really detailed, with good results every time. We used to have a separate Canon inkjet for printing photographs but now we just use this.

Copying is much the same as printing. Quick at 20 sheets per minute for black and white, the same as printing, and 4 pages a minute for color. The quality is the same as printing too, with clear text and photos and no ink elsewhere on the page. It makes the print stand out more, so it looks clear and crisp on the page.

It has a 250 page paper drawer, a 125 sheet multipurpose tray and a 50 page automatic document feeder. It has USB or network connections too, which makes connecting it to the network easy. There are only five of us but we all use the machine all the time. Its easier having it on the network rather than having to connect through someone elses machine.

The MF8180C is a good device that can do all the jobs of four separate ones. It is a little big, and heavy but works well and isnt too noisy. It doesnt need much looking after, it just works, and thats all we need really. The print quality is good enough for our needs and having a fax on board is really neat. For what we need it for, its ideal.

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.
