Printer Reviews– Intended primarily as a shared monochrome laser multifunction printer (MFP) for a micro or small office workgroups, the Canon imageCLASS MF216n provides quick and adequate high-quality output speed. It lacks a more duplex (for two-sided printing) but includes an automatic document feeder (ADF) to scan an Ethernet connector and easy sharing on a network. The combination makes it monochrome laser MFP Editor’s Choice for the use of micro-light office work or personal use heavy duty.

Design and Features
The MF216n offers much more than the Panasonic KX-MB2000 replacing as our preferred choice. It has the same input capacity to 250 sheets but adds a manual single-sheet feed, which is a significant convenience. It is also faster in our tests, and ups the ante for scanning and copying, supplementing its letter of the flat surface with a 35-sheet ADF can handle up to legal size paper size.

The basic features of the MFP include the ability to print and fax from, as well as exploring a PC and the ability to function as a standalone copier and fax machine. In addition, the printer provides mobile support to let you print from and scan to Android and iOS phones and tablets.

A major limitation for mobile printing and scanning is that the MF216w must be connected via Ethernet to a network that includes an access point Wi-Fi. Some printers, including the Samsung Xpress M2070FW, offer free Wi-Fi Direct so you can connect to the printer, even if you are not on a network. The MF216n even supports Wi-Fi, least of Wi-Fi Direct.

Configuration, speed and output quality
14.2 by 15.4 by 14.6 inches (HWD), the MF216n is small enough to share a desk with but high enough that you may prefer not to. At 26.7 pounds, yet it is light enough for a person to move into place. The configuration is standard. For my tests, I connected to the network and install the drivers on a Windows Vista system.
