Designed for home and small office users, the Canon MF-6530 offers multifunction capabilities with the added bonus of duplex printing, allowing users to reduce paper consumption. The Canon i-SENSYS MF-6530 all-in one printer features many additional functions, like automatic document feeding and duplex scanning. The Canon MF6530 mono laser printer is compact, considering it packs in 3 machines in one, though it does not have fax capabilities and is slower than most laser printers.
Design
Measuring only 17.8x20.5x17.3 inches, the Canon MF-6530 monochrome laser printer is small enough for a desktop set-up. The automatic feeder with duplex copying and scanning goes on top of the unit, while the control panel sits on the middle slot, featuring easy to master buttons. The Canon MF-6530 printer uses the Canon 706 all-in-one cartridge, allowing bigger savings, especially for home users.
Advantages
The inclusion of double sided printing and automatic double sided scanning and copying are great bonuses from the Canon MF-6530 i-SENSYS multifunction printer. These features are often only found in higher end models. Print quality is very impressive, with sharp and clear text, even when printing small fonts. Graphics quality is also excellent, though print rates still have room for improvement. Black toner cartridges for the Canon i-SENSYS MF6530 last a good 5,000 pages before needing replacement and the paper input capacity is larger at 500 sheets in the main drawer, and an additional 100 pages in the multipurpose tray.
Disadvantages
However, the Canon MF 6530 only offers monochrome printing and copying. The MF-6530 laser printer also lacks fax capabilities and can only produce 23 pages per minute, which may slow down productivity in busier environments.
