What You Should Know about the Pixma MX7600

Duplex Printing a Must for Busy Offices

A printer with duplex capability contains an internal mechanism for turning the paper over to print on the other side. (This is not to be confused with the manual duplexing that some printers offer, where driver software walks you through the process of turning over the paper yourself.) Any high-volume office should seriously consider this feature. The duplexing process slows down your print job a bit, but it also immediately cuts your paper use in half -- good for your budget, good for the environment.

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: easy to set up - mac user. Scans, faxes, prints, copies - no software issues.

Weaknesses: Fax function only compatible with PC - so have to manually fax from the machine. The depth of the machine is longer than standard - but not as tall as the comparable HP models. Check dimensions.

Overall Evaluation: I had experienced problems with HP products in the past with my MAC and I chose to find a copy that would play well with the OSX 10.5.2Success, all functions working.
