Canon imageCLASS MF4120 Toner Cartridges

The Canon imageCLASS MF4120 can print, scan, copy and fax documents, but due to its entry-level design and basic features this machine is best suited for home offices. Compared to other personal laser printers in its class, the MF4120 can print at relatively quick speeds of up to 21 pages per minute for monochrome documents. Although the unit's output is a touch below the best performance seen among the top models in its price range, its cost-efficient imageCLASS MF4120 printer toner and basic (yet capable) design make it a solid budget solution for all-in-one needs.

The MF4120 packs in a lot of office-centric features despite its low price tag, such as a 35-sheet automatic document feeder for continuous scanning, a full fax machine and automatic double-sided printing and copying. One feature that designates it as a home device rather than one for the workplace is its connectivity, which leaves out useful networking and wireless options in favor of a standard rear USB port. This will connect the printer straight to a user's computer, which must operate with either Windows or Mac systems.

The unit's size of 15x16x17 inches is average compared to other similar multifunction units and will allow the device to share a desktop with a user's computer. Located front and center is its control panel, which includes a full number pad for fax dialing and storing speed dials, a monochrome LCD display and LED lights that will alert users when there is a printing error or when the Canon MF4120 toner has expired. A light will also flash to notify when paper has run out, and since it only has a maximum input capacity of 250 pages, users with frequent jobs will need to replace media often.

The unit's output is satisfactory, although not above par, printing with a maximum resolution of 1200x1200 dpi using black imageCLASS MF4120 toner. Users can duplicate an original document up to 100 times with a maximum resolution of 600x600 dpi using black toners.

The device uses one black Canon MF4120 toner cartridge that can yield up to 2,000 pages, which will allow users to print low to medium volumes for a low cost. To save money, users can opt to purchase the remanufactured Canon MF4120 toner cartridges that are less expensive than OEM replacements.

There are a number of reasons the MF4120 can benefit home offices, from its 4-in-1 design and quick speeds to its high yielding supplies. While this monochrome printer could have included more connectivity options, users looking for an affordable multifunction device to handle their frequent daily needs should consider it.
