Canon PIXMA MX850

Canon today announces the PIXMA MX850, an Office All-In-One with print, copy, scan and fax capability. 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 Start 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.

"The PIXMA MX850 offers exceptional performance for small and home offices," said Mogens Jensen, Head of Canon Consumer Imaging, Europe. "Its print quality and speed suit SoHo environments, while its premium photo printing engine offers the additional versatility of photo lab quality printing."
