Canon MF6540 Review
Overview:
The Canon MF6540 printer belted out a whopping 24 pages per minute when it was introduced. By today’s standards this is second rate at best.
Pros:
When you compare the MF6540 to the run of the mill 600 x 600 dot per inch resolution of many non-colored printers, it is not such a big advance. While the MF6540 boasts a 1200 x 600 dot per inch resolution which produces sharper text and images such as graphs for businesses, it still doesn’t measure up to the newer multifunctional printers.
The Canon MF6540 printer has the ability to handle standard paper from 17 to 24 lbs in thickness. This is using the standard paper tray. When media paper is needed the multipurpose tray can handle 15 to 35 lbs. Most media will fit adequately in the multipurpose tray, but it cannot handle card stock. The output tray will hold up to 100 sheets of paper before it starts to be an issue. The standard paper tray will hold up to 100 sheets, and the larger paper tray can hold a ream of paper which equals 500 sheets of paper.
The MF6540 comes equipped with a 2 in 1 function, which will automatically print, scan and copy double sided information. This function makes handling two sided paper easy and permits the user to cut down on the expense of paper costs by almost half. When you use the printer’s 2 in 1 copy utility you can save more money on paper.
The digital copy process allows you to manage two pages of scanned information, shrink it to 50% and print both pages on one sheet of paper. The opposite also holds true. You can take one page of information balloon it up and fit it onto two sheets of paper. The MF6540 allows you to zoom in up to 50% and zoom out up to 200%.
Cons:
Today Canon produces printers that can print up to 30 pages per minute; the earlier Canon MF6540 only has the capacity to print 24 pages per minute. Canon constantly attempts to expand on what they have already accomplished, so the Canon MF6540 has already been usurped by newer models.
The MF6540 by Canon only has an upper limit of 15,000 pages per month. While this may seem like a lot of printing, newer models have the capability to print up 30,000 pages per month at half the cost. This makes it rather obsolete in many areas of today’s printers.

This printer is the best alternative for offices that have plenty of work to do. It can work many hours a day and it doesn’t block the paper. The quality of the printed pages is excellent.

There is an aspect that the Konika Minolta producer didn’t take into account. The paper handling is too limited. In addition, it is missing an automatic duplexer. These two problems are decreasing a little the value of the multifunctional printer.

Canon IMAGECLASS MF8380CDW Printer Review
Overview
Nowadays, we are living in a world where space, money and efficiency rate are very important things. As a result we need products that must be cost effective. Because of this fact, manufacturers developed Canon IMAGECLASS MF8380CDW which can make things easier by bringing you high quality at lower prices. If you need a multifunctional device (printer, scanner and fax at the same time) this Canon model is the right choice. When we say Canon IMAGECLASS MF8380CDW, we definitely say quality, efficiency and performance, because it comes with a lot of features like auto duplexing, wireless connection to the internet or manual connection through Ethernet. A lot of people prefer to choose this multifunctional printer because the installation, maintenance and usage are so simple.
Pros
The auto duplexing option allows you to print 10 pages per minute on two sides and up to 21 pages per minute, 1 sided, and by using both color and black & white.
Because it weighs around 68 pounds and it has a dimension of 17” x 19.2” x 18.9” , it needs to be placed on a table. The printing resolution of 600 x 600 dpi makes the quality of the print very good, be it a photo or a plain documents. The standard memory is 256 MB, but it can be upgraded if you needs to.
Features like Push, Pull Scan Duplex Scan or even Rotate are making this multifunctional printer one of the best from its price range. In addition, it has other options like printing directly from USB devices and sending PDF and SMB via email.
The printing quality is very high and the printer can copy at speeds of 10 pages per minute for double sided. However, when we talk about copying single sided printings, we notice even a higher printing speed, of 21 pages per minute.
You can adjust the copies dimensions from 25% to 400% zoom.
Troubleshooting and configuration can be made simpler, because of the existence of a control panel which has a 5 line monochrome display.
This printer can handle with 400.000 pages per month, the duty cycle that Canon recommends to clients,
The fax function works very well and it can transmit at speeds equal with 2.6 seconds per page. In addition, you can connect to the internet through G3 network, which is a remarkable thing for a multifunctional device. The memory of the fax is 512 sheets.
More features like fax forwarding, PC fax (just for sending) and memory backup make this multifunctional printer an amazing fax.
Cons
A black and white page is 3.7 cents and a color page is 16.4 cents, which is quite expensive.
The control panel is placed on the top of the printer and you need to put the printer low in order to reach it.
This printer was not made for graphic design. Even though it has a lot of very high performance features, printing graphics is not one of its strengths.
