Canon ImageClass MF4690 Printer Review:
The Canon ImageClass MF4690 is a
multifunction monochrome laser printer designed for the small office users. The
ImageClass MF4690 can print, scan, copy, and fax. The scanning function is
exceptionally well. The scanning engine in the ImageClass MF4690 is top-notch,
and lives up to Canon's reputation for excellent scanners. Users can send scans
to email, a file on the computer, or even a USB flash drive. This is a very
convenient feature as it eliminates the need for a network connection and
allows simple storing of scanned images. However, this feature is limited to
drives 8 GB and below.
The Canon ImageClass MF4690
includes an ethernet port for connecting to a network, allowing it to easily be
shared among multiple computers. Users in a network environment will likely
appreciate MF4690’s security features, which require users to enter an ID
before they can use the machine. The ImageClass MF4690 also includes built-in
duplexing function, meaning double-sided printing. This capability not only
opens up more options for printing, but can also save on paper costs by
printing on both sides by default.
Print quality is excellent,
resulting in very sharp and defined text output. Graphics quality is a little
better than average for a laser printer. Print speed is at approximately 14
pages per minute. The Canon ImageClass MF4690 toner cartridge has a 2,000 page
yield at 5% coverage. The use of compatible cartridges does not void the
printer warranty.
