Canon imageCLASS MF6540 Duplex All-in-One Printer

Hopefully I will save someone the trouble that I went through. Although I am big fan of Canon network printers, you should know the scanner funtion of this machine is not capable of being networked. The scanner funtion only works via USB. You can network the printer/copier, but not the scanner function. I needed network availabilit for all three funtions. But it's a great printer/copier.

This is a fantastic product. It was extremely easy to install the software and was up and running in a matter of minutes. I chose this model because it seemed to be a great 'in between' for a home printer that I could also use for my business. It saved me from having to purchase some huge stand alone printer and, of course, saved thousands from purchasing a stand alone unit. This has a high volume printing capability with reasonable toner units available. It has been extremely reliable. I have only used about 3000 pages of printing / copying to date, but have yet to have some type of paper jam. There is also very little delay in printing & copying going from power on to actually printing must be about 15 seconds, if that. There is not some 2 minute 'warm up' process that delays you which is a pleasant surprise. Often, I need something printed quickly and this model is quick.

This machine is everything it promises to be and really fills the bill for my small business. It can deliver a really nice print product, but the copying capability for the price is the amazing part. The feeder is reliable...whether it's 2-sided, one-sided, or even if you've left a document on the glass by mistake. And the reproduction quality is top-notch and easily tweaked.
