Canon's PIXMA MX850 is a well designed machine for somebody who needs the full advantages of a multifunction printer, with photo print, CD/DVD direct print, multiple paper sources and full fax facilities. Its only downside is its inexorably slow duplex pr...

The Pixma MX850 is Canon's all-in-one scanner, copier, fax machine, and ink-jet printer built for the small office or home office. The MX850 prints impressively crisp, legible text that's comparable to laser quality. Add to that speedy performance, solid

Small paper tray. CID scanner.
