Introduction
The Canon i-SENSYS MF655Cdw (model number 5158C004AA) arrived on my desk promising a sleek design and efficient performance. Having used it extensively for several weeks, printing documents, scanning images, and copying various materials, I’m ready to share my comprehensive review.
Key Features
The MF655Cdw boasts a range of features designed for ease of use and efficiency. Its compact design is a significant advantage, fitting neatly into smaller office spaces. The vertical display is surprisingly intuitive, making navigation a breeze. The wireless connectivity is a standout feature, allowing for seamless integration into my existing network. The claimed 21ppm print speed is a significant draw, and I’ll be exploring how this performs in real-world scenarios below.
Performance and Usability
The print quality is excellent for everyday documents, and even photo printing was surprisingly decent. Color reproduction was accurate, and text came out crisp and clear. The 21ppm print speed was largely accurate, although more complex documents did slightly slow the process down. Scanning was straightforward, the software was user-friendly and produced high-resolution scans. Copying was also quick and reliable. The Wi-Fi connectivity was flawlessly consistent, and setup was extremely easy. The only minor issue I experienced was a slight delay in the first print, but nothing overly problematic. The energy efficiency, as promised, was also impressive – a key selling point for any environmentally conscious office. I found the paper tray to be easily accessible and quick to refill.
