Canon Copier ImageClass MF5750

The Canon ImageClass MF5750 is a laser multifunction device that plants Canon firmly in the competitive field of the small or home office. This market is a competitive one, with big names like Dell, Xerox, Samsung and Brother all competing for sales. This means stiff competition for the manufacturers, but good news for the consumer. The more competitive a market is, the better quality, featured and valued equipment we get for our money.

The MF5750 is a monochrome laser printer, copier, scanner and fax in a reasonably sized chassis. It only measures 17x17x19 and weighs 30 pounds. This makes it ideal for a small office or somewhere where space is limited.

The build quality is what you would expect from Canon. Everything feels solid and functional. The paper trays are thick plastic, the hinges for the lid are strong and the toner clips firmly into place. It all give a sense of quality to the device, but is it any good?

The print quality is excellent. Producing good text and grayscale prints and copies. Clean lines, good fill and even images were reproduced faithfully, which is a bonus for a laser. Text is output at a rate of 14 pages per minute, grayscale images 16 pages per minute either printing or copying.

Scanning is also respectable, with faithful image reproduction in all tests. The scanner on the MF5750 isn’t the quickest at 4 pages per minute, but the results are worthwhile. Both color and grayscale scans were of a good quality and were produced at the same speed.

The fax is a standard G3 33.3 and will transmit a page every 3 seconds. It has the usual speed dials, phone books, storage, error check, full telephone keypad and integration with answering machines.

The control panel is simple, with each function having its own set of buttons. The simple LCD is bright enough and easy to read, if a little limited in the information it provides. Toner is a “Single cartridge system” which means there is no drum and the toners are simply replaced by sliding in and clipping into place. Standard toners will last 2500 pages and are competitively priced with their rivals.

The MF5750 is a solid looking, and feeling multifunction device. It has an air of reliability that inspires confidence, and it certainly feels strong enough to cope with anything. Those in the market for a multifunction in the near future would do well to consider the MF5750 as it offers great value for money.
