Canon Pixma Mx850 Printer Overview

The Canon PIXMA MX850 is an all-in-one printer. This one machine features a printer, copier, scanner and fax. You can save time and money without having to sacrifice image quality or advanced technology.

High quality images
As both a printer and a copier the PIXMA MX850 produces high quality documents and photos. It features 9600 x 2400 dpi resolution and 1 picolitre FINE print-head technology. As a scanner, the PIXMA MX850 scans both documents and photos at up to 4800 x 9600 dpi.

Photo printing
The PIXMA MX850's printer function is photo-friendly in a number of ways. ChromaLife 100 ink, used by the PIXMA MX850, was developed especially for printing professional-grade photos. A 4 x 6-inch photo can be printed in about 21 seconds. Photos can be printed directly from compatible memory cards, cameras and mobile phones. Enhancing this feature is the printer's 2.5" LCD screen for viewing the photos before printing.

Efficiency
Canon's PIXMA MX850 printer is efficient in terms of both time and money. Money saving features include individual ink tanks, so you pay to replace only the colour that has run out. It also meets the ENERGY STAR guidelines for energy efficiency, which is both environmentally friendly and economical.
Save time with the Auto Duplex Scan feature, which automatically scans both sides of a double-sided document. Similarly, the PIXMA MX850's copier features Auto Duplex Copy for automatically copying two-sided documents. No need to manually flip the page over.

In terms of speed, the PIXMA MX850 all in one printer can copy and print up to 31 pages per minute in black and white and 24 pages per minute in colour. It also features a 35-page high-speed document feeder for use when faxing, scanning and copying.

Faxing
The Canon PIXMA MX850 printer is capable of sending colour faxes, and can also transmit faxes from your PC. You won't lose a fax even if your ink runs out because the PIXMA has the memory capacity to store 250 pages worth of data. For added convenience, you can store up to 100 numbers for speed dialing.
Other noteworthy features

Network connectivity sets this all-in-one apart from its competitors. Through an Ethernet connection, the Canon PIXMA MX850 can be connected to a network for use by multiple computers.

Two paper trays allow you to easily switch back and forth between two kinds of paper. For example, you could load one tray with 150 sheets of photo paper and the other with 150 sheets of plain paper. The PIXMA MX850 is compatible with a variety of media. For example, it can be used to print directly onto CDs and DVDs with printable surfaces.

Canon's PIXMA MX850 is suitable for use both at home or in the office. A combination of speed and automated functions make document handling simple and efficient. Consistent image quality across all four of its major functions means the PIXMA MX850 is capable of handling all of your photo and document needs. This multifunction device combines the top copying, scanning, faxing and printing technology all into one machine.
