Canon MF5750 ImageCLASS Multifunction Laser Printer, Copier, Fax, Scanner

 (12 customer reviews)

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...Read more

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...Read more

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...Read more
