All in One Printers with Fax: A Review of the Canon Pixma MP830 Office All-In-One Inkjet Printer
There are a lot of all in one printers with fax from different brands of electronic devices all over the world. One of the best brands that are world renowned because of their quality is Canon, and the Canon Pixma MP830 Office All-In-One Inkjet Printer is one of their greatest models. The following is an in-depth review of this product.
Design
This is a complete device – it can print, copy, scan, and fax. It’s designed to be very efficient for that purpose and every part of it is designed to optimize your activities. It has a feeder at the top and a side printing outlet, and the control panel with an LCD display on the panel above the side printout feeder. The device is compact enough to be placed on any desktop, tabletop, and shelf, but the location of the printer is limited to the wire which will connect your computer and the device, since the unit is not wireless-capable. It has the dimensions of 19.7″ x 19.2″ x 11.5″ and a weight of 32.3 pounds.
The device has a nice black body with silver-gray sides, perfect for maintaining a nice aesthetic condition even after years of constant abuse. The control panel has a complete set of buttons which are all labeled with the exact function that they work for, and the LCD display allows you to view, edit, and print your photos directly even without using a computer.
Printing and Other Functions
This device is one very good printer, and it can definitely compete with other all in one printers with fax that are available in the market. The printer can produce black documents in as fast as 30 pages per minute and colored documents as fast as 24 pages per minute. It can also print 4×6 borderless photos in as fast as 36 seconds. The resolution of black printouts can reach a maximum of 600×600 dpi, but the colored printouts can reach up to 9600×2400, making your colored documents and illustrations absolutely stunning and vibrant. The automatic document feeder automatically prints back to back, enabling you to save more paper and help the environment.
The copier can produce duplicates of your documents as fast as the printer, with only one page less for black copies. You can reduce or enlarge your photos to as small as 25% or as large as 400%. There are other features of the copier which includes the 4-in-1/2-in-1 duplication that allows you to reproduce two or four different documents in a single page.
The scanner makes use of a charged-coupled device for scanning documents. For optical scanning, you can get a maximum resolution of 2400×4800 dpi. For interpolated images, the maximum resolution can reach up to 19200×19200 dpi. The maximum size of documents that can be read by the device is letter size, or 8.5’’ x 11’’.
The fax machine has a maximum speed of 3 seconds per page for black documents, and 1 minute and 20 seconds for colored documents. The memory capacity of the fax machine can save up to 250 pages of pending documents. There are 8 speed dials that you can assign to the device, and there are 100 coded dials which you can save for easier accessibility.
Other Features
This device is a member of the Generation Green campaign of Canon, which is a movement that they have dedicated for the development of energy-saving electronic devices. Included in this model are the ability to print two-sided automatically, and the 2-in-1/4-in-1 feature. This model also has individual ink cartridges which lets you save more by replacing each color individually only as needed, unlike 3-color cartridges which need to be replaced when one color runs out. It’s also an Energy Star qualified device so you get to help Mother Nature by using this model in place of other printers and all in ones.
Conclusion
There may be several all in one printers with fax that are available in the market, but the Canon Pixma MP830 Office All-In-One Inkjet Printer is one very good machine that can really provide all your needs for printing, scanning, copying, and faxing. I have to recommend this model to all those who have small businesses or are professionals who take their work at home. This unit can create professional documents in very high quality and it also has a lot of excellent features that will satisfy any user.
