Canon Copier Imageclass Mf5750

Multifunctional centers are always a welcome addition to a home office and, with the Canon Copier ImageClass MF5750, a few small extras have been thrown in, in an effort to help to optimize the performance your business requires. An all in one machine is the cost effective choice when measured against purchases of multiple units, but sometimes speed can suffer when dealing with these devices. This is not the case with the MF5750. Print, fax, and copy speeds are all at the top end for a home standard, and the scanning capabilities are also outstanding.

With 21 pages per minute print speed, and a 50 sheet capacity automatic document feeder, printing or copying multiples or larger projects will not be a time consuming task. Speed is also not a problem when dealing with fax transmissions, thanks to a built in Super G3 Fax modem that operates at a swift 33.6 kilobytes per second.

A CCD (Charged Coupled Device) provides color scanning options, with a solid optical resolution of 1200 X 2400 dots per inch and a competitive 48 bit internal color depth. Interpolated scanning is also an option, and runs at a fairly decent 9600 X 9600 dpi. TWAIN interfacing is featured with the Canon Copier ImageClass MF5750, along with WIA formant, and can be utilized through the USB 2.0 high speedport. Furthermore, legal sized scanning is made easy by the flatbed design and oversized document glass, along with the automatic document feeder.

Faxing capabilities are well above average. With a fax resolution of an almost unheard of 406 X 391 dots per inch, the MF5750 stands head and shoulders above the rest. Transmission reception memory is also acceptable, running at 256 pages worth of stored data. Other bonuses to aid with fax transmissions include an answering machine, DRPD, auto switch mode, and a memory backup in case of power outages.

Operating system compatibility is unfortunately reserved exclusively for Windows, but includes XP. 2000, ME, 98, and even Server 2003. A hi-speed port accelerates communication time between the hardware and PC, and an optional network interface is available via an external print server, but is not included (though, kindly, Canon has included the USB cable). Also included is an array of software that features Canon Drivers For Windows® ScanSoft® OmniPage® SE (OCR), and NewSoft® Presto!PageManager.

Ultimately, a multifunctional device such as the Canon Copier ImageClass MF5750 will cut costs across the board, when light output demands are required. This unit in particular has made a point to excel at speed, and versatility. If printing black and white text documents is your small businesses only requirement, it is possible that a simpler laser printer would be your best option. But, if a small array of fax, copy, and scan capabilities would serve a legitimate purpose for your business, then an MFC might be worth the investment.

The Canon Copier ImageClass MF5750 is, more or less, an above average home office device. If a light duty printer with multiple features is required for your small office’s needs, then the imageClass is a great place to look.
