A rather bulky multifunction, the Canon Smartbase MPC600f inkjet all-in-one offers excellent features to back up its robust build. The Smartbase MPC600f multifunction printer incorporates a fax machine, scanner and copier with ADF, and an inkjet printer in one. It is very handy in busy home office environments, although larger workgroups will have to find another device to accommodate multiple users as the Canon Smartbase MPC600f does not have networking capabilities.
Design
Despite the bulk, the Canon Smartbase MPC-600f all-in-one is still a worthy choice, especially with its attractive features like the automatic document feeder, high-capacity paper trays, and flatbed scanner. The Smartbase MPC600f inkjet multifunctional has a heavily buttoned control panel, although operations are still easy to control, especially with the user-friendly interface. The MPC600f printer connects via USB, which allows for faster data transmission.
Advantages
The Canon Smartbase MPC600f colour inkjet printer offers versatility with its 33.6 Kb fax modem, high-resolution scanner and digital copier, and high-quality printer. Print speeds are also impressive, averaging 17 ppm and 12 ppm in black and white and colour. Copy speeds are about the same, while photos come out in less than a minute. Standalone functions are also at hand, as the Canon Smartbase MPC 600f can print, scan, fax, and copy without being connected to a computer.
Disadvantages
The major disadvantage of owning the Canon MPC6500f Smartbase printer is high ink prices. However, running costs are still relative especially when the Canon MPC600f inkjet is only used for occasional printing. Network connectivity would have been useful for workgroups that share printers.
