2.0 out of 5 stars First Unit Defective - Second Unit Quite Good, August 15, 2005

By 

Jeff G. "Jeff" (NJ, United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Canon MF5750 ImageCLASS Multifunction Laser Printer, Copier, Fax, Scanner (Office Product)

I bought the MF5750 because of the features, price, and my excellent experience with other Cannon products in the past (2 camcorders, a G2 camera, and an F-80 multifunction inkjet that has given flawless service in my home office with very active use). The MF5750 is ok overall, except since I got it the print has been blurry and smudged at the top of about half the pages I print. You can read the pages, but the print quality is not good enough for professional correspondence. I called Cannon customer service within a few weeks of purchase looking for help. They offered to replace the unit with a refurbrished model (!!) or direct me to a repair facility (!!). I suppose every once in a while Cannon might make a defective product - but when it doesn't work correctly right out of the box - I don't expect a refurbrished unit in return, or to wait for repairs. Instead, I am sending it back to the vendor to exchange for a new unit - hopefully I'll have better luck with this one.

Other than the print quality, the unit seems pretty good - the print speed is fast. The multifunction feed for envelopes etc. is a bit finnicky but after you get the hang of it, it works ok. Also, Cannon advises that the printer cable must be under 2 meters, and some USB hubs don't work. The 15' USB active cable/hub I tried worked once or twice but after that - no go.

I have not tried other multi-function lasers - so I really don't have anything to it compare to.

UPDATE:

I got a new MF5750 replacing the defective unit mentioned in my previous review, and wanted to provide this update after one week of use (about 100 pages printed, a couple copies - no faxing).

The print quality problems on the previous unit are solved - I would say print quality is 100% fine for professional correspondence. I have not done much grayscale printing. There is slight curling of the paper even using the strait-thru paper path. The printing is quite fast - nice for larger documents.

I made a few copies and they are very good. If you look VERY carefully you can see the text is slightly lighter than the original without any adjustments on the MF 5750.

As with the previous unit, the alternate paper feed is a little tricky - you need to get the feeder to grab the paper and then print from the PC. If it doesn't grab correctly the paper doesn't feed, and the printer jam alarm goes off even though there is no paper jam. You can open the panels/trays but it doesn't clear the alarm. You need to unplug the machine (yes, that is how the manual instructs you to turn off the alarm). I guess I will either get the hang of it or maybe it will just be easier to use the normal paper tray.

On the USB cable - I tried another USB 2.0 extension/hub without any luck. To locate this where I want (about 15 feet from the PC) I may resort to hooking this up to a network because the printer comes with a USB cable about only 4' long and they say 2 meters is the longest USB cable you should use.

I called Canon tech support with an installation question and they were quite good.

2.0 out of 5 stars Great Product....Major Flaws, February 12, 2006

I really like the functionality of this particular all in one, but there are two major flaws that make it one of the most annoying pieces of equipment in my office.

The Special Paper feeder is the first. You have a base tray that will hold your standard paper, and a slot on the front for specialty paper like envelopes, checks, etc. The catch here is that you have to feed each sheet of specialty stock in one at a time, and if you put the next sheet in too early it causes a jam and the printer fails.

Number 2 on the list of annoying features is where your printed material lays after completion. If you are printing a 20 or 30 page document you better be standing right next to the printer. The completed job tray is horrible. After only a few pages are printed the pages begin to push each other out of the tray, so as each additional page comes out of the printer another is pushed out of the tray onto the floor, causing you to have to reorganize the document. This is a huge pain if the pages aren't numbered.

The fax, and scan features work great, and the quality is good.

The menu system on the unit could use some help but around the time you start to get frustrated with it you get it to do what you want.

All in all I wouldn't purchase it again, HP has a little more thought into their designs, and specifically into paper feeding and completed job trays.

That's just my 2 cents.

5.0 out of 5 stars Reliable quality, September 12, 2005

By 

JB (Dallas, TX) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Canon MF5750 ImageCLASS Multifunction Laser Printer, Copier, Fax, Scanner (Office Product)

I'm in my 5th month with this now. I have printed probably around 1000-1500 pieces of paper, about 800 mailing labels, faxed a couple of hundred pages, and done a little photocopying. This machine has been very reliable all the way.

I am amazed that through all the faxing (always using the auto feeder), I have not had a single piece of paper jam when auto feeding. I would say - unexpectedly good.

It took a few tries to confirm, but I was happy that you can dial a fax, let it (auto feed) scan through, and immediately dial the next number and scan the next thing to fax. It saves the image and corresponding fax number in memory until the phone line is free. I have had several things in line at once this way. If one fax is busy, it will put it in memory and send the next one. Then try again for the first one. The owner's manual did not spell out that it could accomplish this, but it will.

I wasn't sure how much it could print at once without needing to stop to cool down or stop accepting jobs to clear the memory. 75 pages is about the largest thing I have tried to print. It did this without any hesitation...

The only difficulty I have had in 5 months is one paper jam. It was after printing some mailing labels on discount-brand mailing label stock. I then used a more reputable brand of mailing labels and have had no problem since, so I think it was more a symptom of putting low quality medium into it.

I did have to work with it a few times to get the hang of the manual feed for letter addressing, but I figure that would be the same for any printer. After I got it down, the output looks great!

I really like this machine, and when it someday wears out - I hope they are still making it so I can buy another one.
