Canon launches PIXMA MX850, all-in-one office printer

Replacing the MP830, the PIXMA MX850 maintains the high quality 1pl 9600dpi FINE print engine specification, while adding additional SoHo (Small office, Home office) functionality.

With auto duplex scan and copy, Ethernet connectivity, and a high speed ADF loadable up to 35 sheets, PIXMA MX850 offers small businesses enhanced efficiency and ease-of-use.

Several new features have been added to the PIXMA MX850: Quick Start¹ enables users to start a copy approximately 5 seconds after power up.

Auto Image Fix improves the quality of photographs using face detection and scene analysis to optimise areas such as face tone and brightness, colour fogging and over/under exposure.

Photographs can be transferred directly to the printer from cameras and similar devices, either using the memory card slots (compatible with most popular formats) or via Bluetooth (with an optional adaptor) or PictBridge.¹

"The PIXMA MX850 offers exceptional performance for small and home offices," said Hendrik Verbrugghe, Marketing Manager, Canon Middle East. "Its print quality and speed suit SoHo environments, while its premium photo printing engine offers the additional versatility of photo lab quality printing".

Professional All-In-One productivity

A 35 page duplex ADF is added to the PIXMA MX850 for time-saving convenience when batch scanning/copying and faxing . The integrated duplex unit makes it possible to automatically print and copy on both sides of paper, while two-way paper feeding enables the printer to be loaded with plain and letter headed paper simultaneously.

High quality scanning and copying

For fast, superior quality scans, the PIXMA MX850 incorporates a CIS scanner with 4800 x 9600 dpi resolution and 48/24 bit (in/out) scanning depth for accurate colour reproduction. It offers Push-scan, to send scans to computers over the network, and scan to PDF functions, along with a range of photograph correction features, including Fading correction, Grain correction and Backlight correction.

The PIXMA MX850 takes advantage of Canon's Dual Colour Gamut Processing Technology for faithful reproduction of colours and text in scanned/photocopied documents and photos. In addition, Auto Intensity (AE)³ copy technology ensures optimal exposure is achieved when copying.

Faxing and networking

The PIXMA MX850's high-speed Super G3 Fax can be used as a standalone fax or to send faxes out directly from your PC. Capable of transmitting mono or colour documents at a rate of 33.6kbps, the fax also has the capacity to be programmed with up to 100 coded speed dials.

With built in Ethernet (wired LAN) capability, the PIXMA MX850 supports medium-sized and growing businesses, allowing multiple users to share the productive fax, print and scan functions over a local network.

PIXMA excellence

As a member of the PIXMA All-In-One range, the PIXMA MX850 features superior Canon image quality together with impressive functionality. By employing the PIXMA technology triangle of FINE print heads, Canon high-quality print media and genuine Canon Single Inks, the PIXMA MX850 consistently produces exceptional quality, long-lasting prints.
