If you want a printer that is more than just a printer and is part of the team, then the Canon ImageClass MF5770 printer is the one for you. It is a veritable workhorse that prints, faxes, copies and scans and is shipped network ready. If it is big productivity from a relatively small printer you require, then look no further!

They say that small packages yield big surprises and this is true of this Canon MFP. It has a single Canon toner cartridge system, an ADF and a plain paper cassette that will hold as much as 250 sheets of paper. The document feeder will hold 50 copies and the input paper tray is front loading. It is an absolute pleasure to use this machine which makes copies ant prints at 21 pages per minute. Your faxes are transmitted from your PC to the fax feature through a Super 3G modem at 33.6Kbps.

Clear tone-on-tone images are produced by the scanner feature, allowing for excellent clarity with an optical 1200 x 2400 dpi. A 42-bit CCD is available for color imaging and when used together with a 2.0 USB interface projects are processed even faster. As this printer is network ready when it arrives on your doorstep, the built in Ethernet connection ensure you get set up and sharing your printer in no time at all.

The Canon ImageClass MF5770 toner cartridge prints 2 500 copies at a 5% coverage yield on A4 paper, and the monthly duty cycle of the printer is 7 500 pages. It zooms 50 - 100% in 1% increments and reduces and enlarges at 50, 64, 78, 129 and 200 percent. You are also able to use the toner save feature, which helps your toner go a whole lot further.

The automatic document feed can copy documents of up to 8.5" v 14". On the Platen this is 8.5" x 11.7. a 391 x 406dpi on the fax feature allows for good quality prints, and the 256 page fax reception memory will ensure that you don't have to call anyone to re-fax documents to you. The operating systems it works with include Windows XP, 2000, 98, Me and Server 2003.

The footprint of this Canon MFP in width, depth and height is 19.1 by 18.8 by 17.4 inches. However this is without the attachments such as the document feed, paper cassette tray and print output tray. It weights a mere 31.3 pounds and can easily be moved by one person. This relatively small footprint means that the machine does not take up a great deal of space and is ideal for small office space.

Software for the functionality of this canon printer comes with the machine and this includes drivers for OmniPage SE (OCR), Windows, NewSoft Presto and ScanSoft. The software is simple to install and easy to set up. As with most competitors' printers, this one has a 1 year limited warranty.
