On the other hand, the MF Toolbox utility for scanning and OCR is a model of efficiency and friendly design.

The organisation and the placement of options in the driver are odd, too.

The software seems incomplete, too: For instance, the Mac printer driver contained a valid list of paper types, but the Windows printer driver did not. The MF8380Cdw’s control panel and printer driver lack the user-friendliness that typifies Canon’s consumer-oriented machines.

The output tray holds a sizable 150 sheets. There is no slot for envelopes as with the MF8080cw instead, the front folds down to reveal a 50-sheet multipurpose tray. The bottom-mounted paper cassette holds 250 sheets (100 more than the MF8080Cw’s maximum), and the ADF holds 50 sheets. The MF8380Cdw’s automatic duplexing capabilities include copying, scanning, and printing both sides of a document in one pass. On top of everything else, it’s a very competitive workgroup color laser multifunction printer (copy, print, scan or fax) in its price range.

It also offers automatic duplexing to save on paper costs, and it’s set to duplex by default–a first in my book, and major green kudos to Canon for that. It’s faster, it costs less to operate, and it produces better output.

Despite a few drawbacks, this affordable, feature-complete color laser multifunction printer is well-suited to small-office use.Īt $600 (as of November 9, 2011), the Canon ImageClass MF8380Cdw costs $150 more than its cousin, the ImageClass MF8080Cw, but is an infinitely better product.
