LaserClass 8500 Printer Review
Expert review of the LaserClass 8500 printer
The Canon LaserClass 8500 laser printer is a monochrome fax machine that can be upgraded to a network printer with optional kits. This model has high paper handling capacity, which helps in reducing downtime. The Canon 8500 laser fax machine also offers dual access, which allows users to simultaneously print or copy, while receiving and transmitting fax pages. The modem speed and print speed is quite slow.
Design
The LaserClass 8500 mono laser printer comes with a top-loading cartridge system. Thanks to its all-in-one Canon FX4 toner cartridge, maintenance is easy. There’s no need to replace other components, such as the drum or developer, as they are all included within the Canon FX-4 print cartridge. The Canon LaserClass 8500 black and white laser fax machine comes with a 50-sheet automatic document feeder. It uses CIS technology as opposed to the usual flatbed scanner.
Advantages
Instascan is possible on the Canon 8500 LaserClass, documents can be scanned at 25ppm at 400dpi. This model has built-in memory and can save 80 fax pages. This can be upgraded to save over 300 fax pages. The Canon LaserClass 8500 multifunction printer is very reliable and easy to use, thanks to its organised control panel with display.
Disadvantages
There are new fax machines that have surpassed the 14.4 modem speed of the LaserClass 8500 printer. The print and copy speed of the Canon 8500 laser printer is sluggish at 8ppm. This model is quite large and bulky.
