Designed primarily for commercial use, the Canon Color imageCLASS MF656Cdw is an all-in-one color laser printer. It offers a high-capacity paper bin, an automatic document feeder, and numerous connectivity options, including as USB, Wi-Fi, and Ethernet, that enable printing from a multitude of sources. Canon 067 standard-format and 067H high-yield toner cartridges are compatible with it.
Domestic use
The Canon Color imageCLASS MF656Cdw is highly recommended for domestic use. It is inexpensive to buy, requires little upkeep, and features a scanner with a lid that can be raised or lowered to fit objects like books and magazines.
Text documents printed by this device it are clear and readable, but since it cannot print on glossy photo paper, like most laser printers, it is not the ideal choice for printing photos. The accuracy of colour reproduction is low, and tiny details are poorly resolved.
Office use
For offices, the Canon Color imageCLASS MF656Cdw is a great option. Because of its large page yield of 067 cartridges, you won’t need to replace them very often, resulting in a low cost per print.
Additionally, it provides numerous connectivity choices so that you and your colleagues can print from a variety of devices. The device may take a little bit to warm up if you connect it over Ethernet rather than Wi-Fi, but once it does, it outputs pages rapidly.
This printer’s MF656Cdw version also allows for faxing, and its ADF with single-pass duplex scanning makes processing multi-page and double-sided documents simple.
For students
For students, the Canon Color imageCLASS MF656Cdw is a great choice, but it could be too large to fit in a bedroom or dorm room. Luckily, it produces clear, readable text documents really rapidly. Additionally, its scanner, which has an ADF built in, generates precise scans that you can transcribe into documents that can be searched by text.
Moreover, the height of the scanner’s hinges can be adjusted to suit bulkier objects like textbooks. Although toner cartridges are not cheap, their large page yield helps to keep ownership costs extremely low.
Black and white printing
For printing in black and white, the Canon Color imageCLASS MF656Cdw is an excellent choice. The printer takes a time to warm up, but once it’s connected to a physical network, it can print papers swiftly and with great precision. Its large capacity paper tray means you won’t have to load it up too often.
The very high page yield of its standard-format 067 toner cartridges is matched by even higher-yield 067H cartridges. The MF656Cdw model facilitates the processing of multi-page and double-sided documents with its automated feeder and single-pass duplex scanning.
Photo printing
The Canon Color imageCLASS MF656Cdw is a mediocre photo printer. Its colour gamut is limited, and its colour fidelity is just adequate; printed images appear somewhat altered from the original. It is also unable to print on glossy picture paper and has trouble capturing background elements in the distance. Positively, even if you print images frequently, you won’t need to replace its colour toner cartridges too frequently due to their high page yield.
