Canon i-SENSYS MF8050Cn Color Laser Printer
January 4, 2010 | Canon, Printer | 1 CommentThe idea of adding a flatbed scanner and automatic document feeder (ADF) for a color laser printer to make a multifunction printer business continues to get more popular and Canon i-SENSYS MF8050Cn is designed for small businesses or small workgroups in large enterprises.
The control panel itself, although busy, is well presented with a dial-up fax pad to the right, with the copy commands. In the center is a five line, backlit LCD screen with three buttons on the main mode of copying, faxing and scanning back and a ring of navigation in the front.There is a USB front panel just below the control panel can take a USB drive, but it is limited to backup images scanned into PDF files and can not manage appointments printing. This is the second multi-function printer we’ve reviewed recently with this limitation, which restricts unnecessarily taken these otherwise useful USB.
It is a fully networked multifunction machine designed for printing and copying in an office, but it has a single 150-sheet tray with no way to add a second, although there is a single-sheet multipurpose slot. Let us suppose newsgroups Canon have all said “150 sheets will be good, as we have a constant stream of students with work experience whose primary task is filling the tanks on our multifunction printers?
The color laser engine is the same as that installed on the LBP5050 and CP1215 HP Color LaserJet CP1515n and models, among others. It is a very simple design, when the four toner cartridges and drum sit in a slide-out drawer and just drop into place. You should leave a ribbon sealing each before leaving, but otherwise the machine is easy to configure. [via trustedreviews]
