[blindlaw] printer question

[Olusegun -- Victory Associates LTD, Inc.]

Hello Cathryn:

The Image Class that I have from Canon is this model number:

MF8580CDW

It's a fax, printer, copier and scanner all-in-one.  It's tray will hold up 
to 250 sheets.  It does duplicate printing--that is, it will print on both 
sides of the paper if so desired.  If you are scanning a piece of paper that 
has writing on both sides, you can have it scan both sides automatically. 
Its automatic document feeder holds up to 35-50 pages.  It can be set to 
automatically fax both sides of a paper if necessary.  It appears that the 
scanning software it ships with will convert scanned images to OCR 
automatically, and a screen reader will be able to read it!  It does require 
scripting to make it more accessible so I hardly ever use it.

This printer is reasonably heavy.  I think it's about 25 pounds or a bit 
more.  It's not as compact as you'd expect, but that's ok for me.

Yes, the toners do last quite a while.  If this were an inkjet, I'll 
probably be on my way to Office Depot right now to buy more ink <smile>! 
I've had it since 2014, and there's no sign the ink will dry up anytime 
soon.

I can initiate a scan session from my computer; I'm still learning how best 
to use this function of the printer so I can't comment sufficiently on it 
just yet.

I have this printer on my office's wireless network.  I'm trying hardest to 
CUT WIRES and try trading them on Wall Street just to see who'll buy <grin>!

I'd have to look through my notes to remember how much I paid for it; but 
you can read all about it on Amazon.com.

There's a monochrome model and that is the MF8380CDW.

I'm not sure if Canon still makes this printer anymore, but I do like 
Canon's Tech Support.  In a few days, I'll install Abbyy FineReader 
Professional and do more scanning.  Sorry, I won't ever purchase OpenBook or 
Kurzweil as there are cheaper alternatives in the open market.

Sincerely,
Olusegun
Denver, Colorado
