The Hewlett-Packard OfficeJet G85 All-in-One can save you time, space, and money in your home or office. It combines a printer, scanner, fax, and copier into one reliable, networkable product.Designed with built-in multitasking technology supported by separate paper paths, the OfficeJet G85 allows printing while you are scanning images or sending faxes. You can also make copies while sending print jobs or scan while copying documents. Additionally, the copier can work as a stand-alone unit to produce quality copies in color and black ink with 600 x 600 dpi at copy speeds up to 12 copies per minute in black and 9 cpm in color with automatic collation. Efficient multiple copies can be selected from 1 to 99 copies. The reduction and enlargement options range from 25 to 400 percent.All the best qualities of the G85's copier functions translate to the scanning and printing features as well. The flatbed scanner features resolution of 600 x 3,600 dpi (up to 9,600 dpi enhanced) with 26-bit color and 8-bit gray scale (256 levels of gray for improved contrast) and includes optical character recognition (OCR) for easy text editing and revisions. The printer produces pages with 600 dpi resolution in black and 2,400 x 1,200 in color, in print speeds of up to 12 ppm in black and 10 ppm in color. The unit holds 150 sheets in the input tray, handling plain paper, ink-jet papers, labels and transparencies, glossy and matte photo paper, iron-on transfers, and more.The 14.4 Kbps fax modem receives messages at up to 10 ppm, sending at 6 seconds per page. The fax feature holds up to 125 speed dials and 125 pages in memory, and the automatic document feeder with 30-page capacity further frees you for other projects. Plus, you can fax directly from your PC. E-mail images can be sent directly with one-touch operation. USB and parallel port connections, color ink cartridges, CD-ROM installation software, a user guide, and bidirectional IEEE 1284 cable are included. The one-year limited warranty covers parts and labor. --Barbara Price The HP Officejet G85 combines four functions (print, scan, copy, and 14 Kbps fax) along with the convenience of a 30-page automatic document feeder. The flatbed scanner-copier lets you include pages from books and 3-D objects in your projects. The 600 x 3,600 dpi optical scan resolution (9,600 dpi enhanced) with 36-bit color makes up to 99 copies at once, with fine sharpness and rich detail. Further increase your productivity with the included 30-page automatic document feeder. Print beautiful photos and color graphics with up to 2,400 x 1,200 dpi resolution in color (on premium photo paper). Plus, when you're in a hurry, HP's enhanced Color Layering Technology from Photoret III gives the same exceptional print quality as 2,400 x 1,200 dpi, but faster. The G85 has USB and parallel connectivity for PC and Mac. It is network capable with Jetdirect external print servers (optional accessory).

Schonhoff This wonderful machine has so many advantages over using my printer and scanner that I barely know where to start. Here's what I fell in love with in my little home office: 1) Stand-alone fax and copying. Even if the PC is completely turned off, or busy doing something else, this is a "real" copier and fax machine. It makes my office feel all grown up. 2) A document feeder that didn't feel cheap or added-on makes a big difference. This thing doesn't just do what a copier or fax is capable of doing, it does it the same way. It has a 100% intuitive, sturdy document feeder and stacker. 3) Really good print quality, and good speed. The color print is better than my Epson (which was very highly rated) and quite fast. The 600 dpm black and white is almost like a laser, although no inkjet has ever truly matched a laser yet. 4) It's got all the serious features, like a decent-sized paper tray, that my printer never had. Unlike the scanner/printer solution I'd been using, I can copy and fax without storing files on the PC. And when I do scan, the software is smart enough to do things like re-orient the document a little when it's not scanned squarely. Cool! 5) The setup was trivially easy on my 3-year-old PC (which, admittedly, is running Windows 98). 6) Even though it LOOKS big, it's really no bigger than my printer was - just taller. Frankly it's got a certain "real office" cachet that's very appealing. 7) Obvious, well-labeled controls that never required me to read a manual. 8) Smart features abound. I noticed that as a copier, it starts printing the portion of the page that it has scanned already even before it finishes scanning the entire page. This makes the output (or faxing?) faster - very sensible. For me (and my wife) this was the one multi-function gizmo worth waiting for. For those of us who used scanners and printers separately for years, we learned the hard way that they just weren't very good at being fax machines and copiers. Having one device that can do ALL those things and still be a great home printer is just wonderful. One quibble, though - the scanner top is not legal sized. The copier can copy legal documents and accept them through the document feeder, but you can't scan bigger than A4 paper. 106 of 108 people found the following review helpful. Fab overall, but some users might have specific problems By tropic_of_criticism For what this machine does, and the market it serves, there's no better equipment out there. There are many office situations where having a separate scanner, printer, and FAX is simply impossible. For reasons of sheer space allocation alone, you need to compress all three into a single unit. If you're in such a need, it's doubtful you'll find a better overall solution than the G85. There's a lot that's great about this machine. I love the front panel button array, and the vast extent to which the device can be used without referencing the computer. The computer doesn't even have to be on for you to get faxes. The printer is, as you'd expect from HP, entirely top-notch. It's very cool, too, that you can choose to fax and copy in either black and white or color. Still, it falls short in a number of mostly minor, but hugely frustrating, ways. First, I personally think it's ridiculous that it only scans letter-sized paper. No other combination product I've seen does any better, of course, but clearly an office needs to be able to scan legal sized paper. Second, this printer doesn't support DOS applications. In fact, no modern "combination" product does. And that makes sense, I guess. DOS is a non Y2K compliant operating system, so why bother maintaining it? Well, you bother, it seems to me, if there are still businesses out there who could possibly be running critical DOS-based software where the Y2K problem has been overcome, or where it was never relevant

Amazon.com Product Description If you're looking for an all-in-one device that can fax, copy, scan, and print eye-popping photos, look no further than the Canon Pixma MX7600 All-in-One Printer. With built-in networking via an Ethernet connection, the ability to print straight from a memory card, and an automatic document feeder that enables automatic duplexing, the MX7600 is the ideal addition to your home or small office. .caption { font-family: Verdana, Helvetica neue, Arial, serif; font-size: 10px; font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; } ul.indent { list-style: inside disc; text-indent: 20px; } table.callout { font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, serif; margin: 10px; width: 250; } td.callout { height: 100 percent; background: #9DC4D8 url(http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/electronics/detail-page/callout-bg.png) repeat-x; border-left: 1px solid #999999; border-right: 1px solid #999999; padding: 10px; width: 250px; } ul.callout { list-style: inside disc; text-indent: -12px; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; } h5.callout { text-align: center; } The Canon Pixma MX7600 All-In-One Printer offers: PgR ink system for superior quality prints with spectacular clarity. Built-in duplex printing and copying. Auto Image Fix feature that automatically optimizes your photos. With built-in networking, everyone in the office can easily share the device. Vivid Photos and Laser-Quality Text--Fast! Canon's newly developed Pigment Reaction (PgR) ink system incorporates a higher-intensity black pigment, a clear ink, and specially formulated color pigment inks for superior results for all your prints. This unique system coats the paper with clear ink before it reaches the print head, helping the colors more effectively bond together for better saturation and brightness. And since each color comes in its own tank, you only need to replace the color that runs out, reducing waste and saving you money. Offering prints at up to 4800 x 1200 dpi color resolution, photos exhibit continuous tone and look like they are fresh from the photo lab. In addition to the PgR ink system, the printer has a print head capable of producing two-picoliter ink droplets for exacting detail. You don't have to wait long for your prints either--a 4 x 6-inch borderless print takes only about 43 seconds. When printing business documents, the MX7600 churns out prints at up to 28 pages per minute (ppm) in mono, and 23 ppm in color. Because the printer has two paper feeders, less time needs to be spent loading or changing media. With a built-in duplexer, you don't have to waste your time standing by the printer flipping sheets when you want to print on both sides. And you don't have to wait for the machine to slowly start up either; the unit is ready for use in about five seconds after power up. The printer is network-ready thanks to its built-in Ethernet connection. Just connect it to your home or office network, and your networked computers can share the printer. The printer also features a built-in memory card slot that allows you to print photos straight from a memory card without a computer. With the printer's LCD, you can look at the pictures you want printed, and with Auto Image Fix, picture quality is automatically optimized. PgR technology uses a clear ink along with pigments for the best print quality. Duplex Scanning and Copying The MX7600 features a built-in Automatic Document Feeder (ADF) that holds up to 35 sheets and enables automatic duplexing for copies and scans, leaving you free to work on other tasks while the printer does all the work. The scanner offers up to 4800 dpi resolution at a 48-bit color depth for scans that pick up even the most minute detail. And thanks to Canon's advanced copy technology, the MX7600 copies graphics and documents with faithful accuracy. High-Speed Fax The device can achieve Super G3 fax speeds (33.6 Kbps), which allows the fastest fax transfers, and it can fax both black-and-white and color pages. The device's built-in memory will store 100 coded speed dials and up to 250 incoming pages--features that are especially useful for long faxes or if you run out of paper. The Canon MX7600 All-In-One Printer is compatible with Windows (including Vista) and Macintosh operating systems. The printer measures 19.7 x 21.1 x 10.1-inches (WxHxD) and weighs 36.6 pounds. It is backed by a 1-year warranty. What's in the Box: Canon MX7600 printer, five cleaning sheets, document kit, ink tanks (PGI-7 and PGI-9), power cord, print head, telephone line cable. The MX7600 provides printing, faxing, scanning, and copying all from one device.

Most helpful customer reviews 72 of 75 people found the following review helpful. Good office machine, but photos are just OK By J. Veazey Bottom Line: This is a good multifunction inkjet. All functions range from adequate to very good.Pros: The scanner is very good, with an auto feeder, and scan quality is good for both documents and photos. The print speed and quality is good. Having 2 paper sources (bottom plain paper cassette, rear feeder) is a time saver. The auto-duplex printing is very handy. Fax quality is good. Auto feeding for faxes is nice, but not something I will use that much. Builtin networking, so I don't need to have a PC continuously powered up when the family laptops want to print. Photo prints have good detail and shading. Printing directly from various memory cards and cameras is easy.Cons: Photo prints colors need some tweaking. It's all a bit bright with a tendency toward a very slight pink cast. Admittedly, I have not done that many color photos as yet. Tones and shades are not as accurate as a printer with more colors. This one has 6 ink tanks, but 2 of them are shades of black, so printing must be done with 4 colors. This printer is adequate for amateur snaps, but won't replace a dedicated photo printer. No scanning of film or negatives. Printer is large but that's a given with this many functions. 44 of 45 people found the following review helpful. Not as top of the line as it should be! By Roger Sadowsky I am a very big fan of Canon printers and All-In Ones. I previously have had the MP780 and the MP830 of which I had no complaints and would have rated 4-5 stars. My complaints with the 7600 are:1) slow to print first page2) cannot use regular paper from the rear paper loader (only the cassette).3) a bit noisy before and after printing.4) ink only available onlineIf I had to buy again, I would go with the MP850. 39 of 44 people found the following review helpful. MX 7600 extremely disappointing, noisy and no ink By C. Barwis The Canon MX 7600 is very noisy. It annoyingly clicks and clacks for minutes after it is done printing, and while speed of page printing itself is OK, the printer waits for up to a minute to start printing many times. I've had the machine for 2 weeks and already it has started jamming paper every 15 sheets or so. And the ink required by the MX 7600 is not sold over the counter by any store in New York City. No stores even list the ink, so you have to buy it online. And Canon's support dept. was absolutely no help whatsoever with coming up with a solution. How can Canon launch a product and not provide the ink anywhere!I replaced a Canon MP 780 which I liked, after it wore out, with this MX 7600 and am extremely disappointed and will now try another company's products. One last inconvenience to note, unlike the Canon MP780, paper for normal use in the MX7600 cannot be loaded from the rear, but must be loaded from the front cassette which holds less paper.
