The Canon i-SENSYS MF8540Cdn is a colour laser multifunction outer (MFP) with a suitable requirements for a tiny firm, supplied you don’t require a facsimile machine. It can publish, scan as well as replicate in colour, and also connects to your network through Ethernet; there’s no built-in Wi-Fi. Its 50-page automatic file feeder (ADF) could check both sides of a sheet of paper, which implies it could make professional looking double-sided copies, or turn single-sided originals right into a duplex duplicate, conserving paper.
Canon MF8540Cdn printer creates excellent text with sharp details, and also superb graphics with a beautiful shiny luster from the toner. There was no indicator of banding or various other laser weaknesses. Our black as well as white test image was also excellent, but colour images exhibited exaggerated colours: skin tones were unrealistically cozy as well as eco-friendlies and also blues had a tendency toward the lurid. We needed to dig deep into the print chauffeur to locate the advanced colour alternatives, yet couldn’t discover a setup with which we were entirely pleased. Likewise, while mono duplicates were excellent, colours in duplicates just weren’t completely faithful to the originals.
