Canon i-Sensys LBP6230dw review

Last month, I buy the new photo printer, Canon i-Sensys LBP6230dw so today I will review it for you to give you more information about it.Canon i-Sensys LBP6230dw review: easy to useOne area the Canon doesn't excel in is user-friendliness. For a start, there's a rather arcane setup process that involves removing various pieces of safety plastic. We're used to extracting these, of course,but the Canon seems to delight in hiding them away as much as possible. And the diagrammatic instructions aren't as useful as they might be. A better guide is available in HTML online, but we miss the days of full printed documentation.The control panel itself isn't much easier to grasp. Three lights and four buttons (five if you count the rear-mounted reset switch) are plastered across the printer. But the actual use of these isn't so clear. And the 'on' switch is lcoated at the front rather than in the more natural-seeming position of the top of the Canon. For the most part, you won't need to deal with many of these keys - they mostly allow you to cancel jobs, restart after paper issues, or set up the Wi-Fi. As with most lasers and business models, though, the LBP6230dw lacks warmth.Connectivity can still be an issue for small to medium offices. Ethernet remains the most workable solution for the typical office. But Wi-Fi offers increased flexibility, even if at the expense of speed and reliability. Whatever your firm's setup, the Canon slots perfectly in, touting both ethernet and the wireless 802.11b/g/n. There's no Bluetooth support, but this is very much a niche product in today's business world. There's no support, either, for memory cards, although you can hook up to the Canon through mobile devices. (See also: best printers of 2015.)And so to performance. 64MB of RAM is built in, so the Canon should be able to handle fairly sizeable tasks. It's quoted for 25 pages per minute. We couldn't squeeze out more than 22.2ppm, but this is close enough to make it a smart performer for the money. In contrast, the Samsung Xpress M2070W could manage just 17.1ppm. Even A4 graphic images could be produced at a faster rate of 17.7ppm on the Canon. It's also fairly strong when it comes to automatic duplexing - turned on as default to save paper - and the Canon's speed of 22.2ppm fell to a still very respectable 14.9ppm. This remains more than fast enough for auto duplexing to be seen as a standard option rather than a feature to be saved for occasional use.Text quality is very good for the price. Characters are immaculately defined, and reasonably dark - even if not jet black. You can make out detail even at small sizes, while graphics (mono A4 prints come out at a rate of 17. offer strong grayscale depth with no defects.Given such excellent performance for the price, you might expect its toner costs to provide a sting in the tail. However, the £42 726 cartridge offers 2100 pages in total, giving it a cost per page of 2p. This allows it to easily outperform the likes of the Samsung Xpress (3.8p) or the Brother MFC-J870DW (2.6p). If you want value, the Canon excels here too.
