I was in the market for a new all-in-one after my HP Officejet 7115 continued to crash ... apparently the motherboard AND scannerboard went bad after only 2 years. I'll never buy an HP printer again!
So back to my old faithful brand, Canon (from whom I bought my original printer ... a BJ-210).
This MF4150 is extremely nice! I decided to go for a monochrome laser multifunction and get a dedicated color photo printer for the other stuff. This MF4150 is now my workhorse ... and does it work!
1) Fast (like most lasers)
2) Quiet, very quiet for a laser printer. Prints and "relaxes" within seconds.
3) Copying is as fast as the business copiers and excellent quality
4) I'm not using it for incoming faxes, but what we do fax out, it works great
5) Was simple to set up and get running - also came with software for Vista
6) Double-sided printing. At such a good price.
7) Toner is a little pricier than competition, but 3rd party toner is available at reasonable prices.
I could not be happier about this printer!!!
Rating: - Auto fax receiving wont work
I bought this printer to use at home. In this setting, people usually have only one phone line. I would expect that it will switch to fax if the the incoming call is a fax and let the answering machine receive it if it is a voice call. I tried many differnt values for DETECT TIME and CHECK TIME for the ANS mode. None of them works. I found from the web that this is a known problem. If you buy this printer expecting to use in this setting, I would strongly suggest you find other printers. I just cannot believe that this printer fails this basic function existing in almost all fax machines.
Comment after one week: I have tried many values for CHECK TIME and DETECT TIME for ANS mode. I found that CHECK TIME=20 secs and DETECT TIME=40 secs work for me. It works for four ring case that answering machine doesn't have messages and two ring case that answering machine has messages. The fax will only pick up after the outgoing message is over. So you will have fax beeps in your answering machine. Canon support gave me 30 secs for both values. But it works for the fax from Canon not for the fax from other places I tried. These two numbers have relationship with the time the phone rings to the time outgoing message is over. For me, it is 23 seconds for the four ring case, I figure that 20 is good compromise between the 2 ring and four ring cases. Good luck.
Rating: - Very Solid All purpose Printer
I have owned this printer for 5 months now. Everything is to my satisfaction. The print/Scan/Fax quality is very good and fast.
Rating: - Great printer, unbeatable buy
Extremely happy with the printer. Wanted an all-in-one printer that had duplex printing & fax capability. Duplex printing works great, as does the automatic document feeder. Control panel and menus could be a little easier to use, but at this price and small size, its a very minor inconvenience.
