Canon imageCLASS MF8080CW All In One Color Laser Printer

Let’s get straight to the point, the Canon imageCLASS MF8080CW is definitely a recommended printer for home office printing. It offers four functionality that any user could ask for such equipment including print, copy, scan and fax all from a single unit.

Mobility and Printing on the GO

If you insist for mobility then you get what you ask for since it also supports Canon Mobile Printing app. Go print a variety of documents and choose what filter suits your style as a finishing touch before you print them. It also supports Google Cloud Print which allows the user to print their files and documents whenever on the go. Lastly, Direct Print is a great feature which makes this machine capable to directly print a file from a USB through the front socket, without the need for a PC.

Features and Specs

Those are just the highlights, now we go to the basic features and specifications of the MF8080CW printer. Its multiple uses make it a considerable workhorse unit for busy home office environment. Printing is mainly its top functionality, but scanning and copying are both outstanding at the same time. Users though may not find it convenient due to its main snag, as it can only print at a speed of 14 pages per minute in both mono and color. Its consumables on the other hand, the four Canon 116 toner cartridges might please you with their low upfront prices.

Its screen display isn't tinted with colors though it is seamlessly useful for configuring and navigating the printer. That’s why most who have tried and owned this find it easy to use and is very simple to maintain unlike other competitors that offer the same features. The control panel might have consumed an amount of space but it literally makes it more appealing at kind of office-centric in style. If you probably notice, home and personal printers conventionally have these small front panels, unlike the ones found in offices.

Limits and Capacities

Considering the size of its housing, one could expect that this printer comes with an ample of space to hold at least half a thousand paper sheets, but you’re wrong. It can only accommodate about 150-sheets of input through its main cassette. But it’s pretty much easier to refill the media since it is a front-loading cassette. It’s a mechanism that compensates for the lack of input capacity, and maybe they knew it would be handy for end user. Well then, perhaps you might be thankful that Canon was generous to at least provide you an additional 50-sheet automatic document feeder which also works for scanning and copying.
