Canon ImageClass MF5850DN Printer Review:

The Canon ImageClass MF5850DN is a multi-purpose machine capable for scanning, copying, printing, and faxing all in black-and-white. With a monthly duty cycle of 15,000 pages, the ImageClass MF5850DN may be most comfortable in a small to midlevel office. It measures 15.4 X 18.6 X 17 inches and weighs about  41 pounds.

There are two toner models for the Canon ImageClass MF5850DN - 119 and MICR 119. Both units can last about 2,300 pages at 5% coverage each. The use of compatible ImageClass MF5850DN toner cartridges does not void the printer warranty.

Resolutions for the ImageClass MF5850DN can go as high as 1200X600 dpi. The first print will be produced in about 6 seconds, and pages after that will print out at speeds of 30 pages per minute using, which is pretty standard. When copying, the speeds are the same, but the Canon ImageClass MF5850DN toner only reaches a distilled resolution of 600X600 dpi. Reductions and enlargements are also offered from 50%-200%, and the first copy takes about 8 seconds to be created.

The Canon ImageClass MF5850DN comes with an impressive fax function, with about 20 one-touch speed dials and 180 coded dials offered. It also offers group dialing of up to 199 destinations as well as sequential broadcasting of up to 201 destinations. Faxes can print with an ultra fine resolution as high as 400X400 dpi.
