 Decent Small Office Workhorse BUT... May 4, 2010

4 out of 4 found this review helpful
We've had this printer for over a year and I generally think the Canon imageCLASS MF6540 is a decent all-in-one small office workhorse. It prints, copies and scans and has done so admirably given the mid-to heavy use it gets as a printer and copier. I does its job as the office scanner as well.
PROS:
1. It prints documents well. No complaints about it printing crooked, blurry, etc.
2. Canon toner seems to last quite a while (the large toner cartridge, not the smaller one).
3. It has a document feeder to photocopy a small stack of documents (about 20 pages).
4. It can copy/scan on the flatbed portion of the printer. Good for small/odd-sized documents.
5. Scans in black and white, grey scale or color. We use it for documents, not photographs. The ability to switch between the document feeder or flatbed to scan makes the MF6450 versatile. It comes with software that converts all scanned documents into PDF or JPEG formats.
6. Easy to set up on the network (has an ethernet port) or as a printer connected to a computer.
CONS:
1. Complicated menus. In order to switch between letter/legal sized documents and envelopes on the multifunction tray, you need to scroll through several sets of menus on the printer itself. I have it memorized by heart now.
2. Canon toner is about $140+ for the large cartridge. Not cheap. But lasts for about five months (I try to get every "drop" of ink before replacing the toner).
3. Document feeder is temperamental: it does not like too-thin paper, so it will just "eat" multiple sheets together and jam. Nor does it like folds or staple holes in the paper, because anything that can make the sheets catch together, this will be an instant paper jam in the document feeder. The width adjustment "arms" of the document feeder also causes the paper jams, too: it's a mite skinner than 8.5", so it squeezes the paper, making it difficult for the rollers to pull the paper through the feeder. (The same rollers that jam on too thin paper, or anything that will cause the sheets to catch together.)
4. Slow scanner: it takes about six to ten seconds per page to scan a black and white document at 300 DPI, using the sheet feeder. If have to scan a stack of documents, this not the multifunction machine you're looking for (see Con #3). It seems slower using the flatbed scanner at the same setting. I would recommend a dedicated scanner if you have a lot of documents for scanning.
5. Scanner does not like the color blue, so if you have documents with blue ink, then it will not come out if you scan in black and white. You have to use gray scale, which makes the file a little bigger. This is of some concern if you have to email the scanned document and the recipient has a file size limit on email attachments.
6. Print per page output is a bit slow compared to a dedicated laser printer (had an HP Laserjet 1200 prior to this scanner, it had a faster print output than the MF6540).
7. It's HUGE. Bigger than I thought it would be. If you have a small space, I would not recommend it.
8. It's rather noisy: either using the sheet feeder or printing.
In conclusion, I don't regret buying the Canon Imageclass MF6540 because it has been relatively reliable despite the cons I listed. The document feeder is annoying and has caused some moments where I just wanted to kill it since it was jamming constantly when I was on a deadline. It's a solid office machine, but I do wish it printed/scanned quicker and a less diva-ish document feeder.
 Terrific for the money March 23, 2010

The 6500 does most of what my $10,000 machine does, only slightly slower. Toner setting, which can be changed, is a bit rich, but this boosts print quality. Set-up was upset when the Network Port setting inexplicably changed the first night, and had to be revised the next day. Toner is a bit pricey. And, if output speed is an issue, buy a second machine and enjoy a back-up. Then you can say goodbye to expensive service contracts. Canon's got a winner here.
Great little copier and printer. February 11, 2010

Simply works. Works well through a network from a wifi system. Cost per copy is higher than a large commercial copier, but that is to be expected for a low-volume machine. The ability to print duplex from a computer (we use all Macs) is a plus. It will not scan from a Mac, however, but that is not a problem as we never intended to use it that way. Replacement cartridges are available at a very reasonable cost on Amazon. Canon has brought out a newer model of this machine.
Great machine! January 13, 2010

I have two of these machines now. I use them daily in my business. The first one I've had a little over three years, the second one I just purchased. The older machine stopped working two weeks after its three year warranty (Cannon used to give a three year warranty, now it's one). I called Cannon and they fixed it free as good will that my machine was only two weeks out of warranty (how great is that!). I can't say enough about how great these machines are and only $300! PS= I use both machines to print monthly bills (from the auxiliary feed) that are precut and 3.75" x 8.5". This is a bit tricky to set-up as you have to double-click the printer icon and set-up the size as custom on your computer, and you also have to set-up the custom size on the printer itself. Once you get it set up right, your done and don't have to mess with it again.
Love this product! December 16, 2009

It is an excellent product for its price. Very easy to set up and very easy to use. I bought it for our office. We were using a copier worth about $3000 new. This machine does everything our old copier does and more. The print speed is great too. I just love this machine.
