Canon imageClass MF6160dw

The Canon imageClass MF6160dw monochrome laser MFP offers everything most micro offices or workgroups need from a multifunction printer.

Fast. Prints, scans, faxes, copies, emails. Duplex printing. Duplexing automatic document feeder. Ethernet and Wi-Fi.

Wi-Fi supports infrastructure mode only.

Quite simply, the Canon imageClass MF6160dw should be on your short list. It can print, scan, fax, copy, and email. It offers more paper capacity than most small offices need. It can print faster in duplex than much of the competition can print in...

Canon imageClass MF6160dw

The Canon imageClass MF6160dw monochrome laser MFP offers fast printing, high-quality output, a full set of MFP basics, and the ability to both print and scan both sides of a page.

In addition to its convincingly fast speed, the MF6160dw delivers better than typical output quality overall, primarily thanks to its text quality. The printer handled small fonts notably better in my tests than the vast majority of laser MFPs, making...

Poor-quality scanner

I wanted a new laser printer and scanner at home. I don't do any heavy-duty printing but I wanted both to be decent quality. Well, my 6-year-old Canon Pixma ink jet printer and scanner is MUCH better than this one. The scan of a magazine cover has much...

Great purchase!

I have had this printer about 1 1/2 years now. It replaced an older Canon printer which was really worn out! I have nothing bad to say about the performance of this printer. It has never failed me and to be honest, is more than I ever expected. The...

Worst scanner ever

I bought this printer/scanner for the combined functions of a printer, scanner, and copier. The printing and copying are ok but the scanning function is not good at all. It will grab the pages, turning them slightly and "eat" up the sides of the...

HORRIBLY ENGINEERED PRINTER

I set the paper tray that came with the printer with letter sized paper as the default. Then, I set the Multi-purpose tray that came with the printer with legal sized paper as the default.

HORRIBLY ENGINEERED PRINTER

I set the paper tray that came with the printer with letter sized paper as the default. Then, I set the Multi-purpose tray that came with the printer with legal sized paper as the default. As long as I print ONLY letter or legal sized items, this is a...

Fantastic Device

After 8 years of traveling the world with us it was time to replace our MP830. My wife; who is knows very little about all things technical, setup our new MS6160 all by herself. Generally the computer geeks in the family handle all things technical....
