Canon MF4150 Printer Review

The Canon MF4150 is a multifunction designed for home or small office users. It offers good speeds, great print quality, and even duplexing in a compact, affordable multifunction machine. What it doesn't offer though is color capabilities.

The MF4150 is a very compact machine, especially given its wide array of features. It measures 17.7 inches by 15.4 inches by 16.8 inches and weighs around 28 pounds, allowing it to fit into some relatively small spaces. The front paper tray adds about 2 inches to the depth when extended. The unit has both a flatbed scanner and an automatic document feeder, which can hold up to 35 pages for automatic scanning. The MF4150 also has automatic duplexing (two-sided printing) built in, which is surprising given its affordable price. It also uses only one toner with a page yield of 2,000 pages to operate all of its functions.

The MF4150 can print, scan, copy, and fax. Copying and faxing can be done standalone, without the need for a computer connection, allowing it to be a full-fledged office machine. Scanning options abound, as scans can be sent to email or saved as a file on the host computer. Scans can be done at a 9600 dpi enhanced resolution, resulting in extremely clear scans. Canon is known for producing high-quality scanners, and the MF4150 nearly matches the quality of Canon's dedicated scanners.

Canon MF4150 toner cartridges are easy to replace as the MF4150 uses Canon's Single Cartridge System, which includes the drum and toner in one piece for replacement. This does add to the cost of replacements, however. Using compatible Canon MF4150 toner cartridge replacements found online will result in lower prices for a more economical solution. Print speed is one of the MF4150's main advantages. It can print at a speedy 21 pages per minute, which is very impressive considering its affordable price. Print quality is very good. Text is clear and sharp, though graphics quality is only about average for a laser printer.

Overall, the MF4150 is a very well-designed multifunction device that hits all the major features and even adds a few bonuses, such as duplexing. It makes a great choice for a home or small office user.
