Just above the main paper tray sits a razor-thin manual-feed slot that accepts a single envelope, transparency, or sheet of labels at a time. Still, a home office might not require the extra capacity. Nor can you buy extra paper trays, unlike with the Dell 1600n and the Brother DCP-8040. Some offices might find the MF5750's paper handling limited it lacks a built-in duplexer for two-sided printing, and Canon doesn't offer one as an add-on. By contrast, toner for the Dell 1600n runs only 1.6 cents per page. Note that Canon's 2,500-page combined toner cartridge and drum costs $74, so a page of ordinary text runs almost 3 cents-among the priciest we've seen in CNET Labs. And when you raise the top half of the machine to access the toner cartridge, three strong hinges hold that section up so that it won't chomp down on your hands. The machine's attractive two-tone taupe shell, scanner lid, and 250-sheet removable paper tray all feel sturdy enough for any office. The ADF has its own scanner lens and can capture legal-size pages that won't fit on the letter-size glass. The motor of the 50-page automatic document feeder (ADF) is separate from the scanner lid, which you can slip off to make room for big books on the glass bed. It weighs around 30 pounds, stands a compact 17 by 17 by 19 inches (HDW) high, and provides two deep handgrips, located right where you need them, that come in handy when you move the unit. A machine geared for home offices should be easy to move and handle, and the Canon ImageClass MF5750 wins points here. Another contender, the Dell 1600n, costs only $350 with a network-ready Ethernet interface.

For example, the Samsung SCX-4720F offers essentially the same features for $100 more but includes a USB flash-drive reader for saving scans and other files, and it outperformed the Canon on speed and image quality for some tasks. The MF5750 is well designed, but Canon faces stiff competition from other diligent vendors. You can get a network-ready version of this printer, the MF5770, for $499. The $399 model that CNET tested combines a 21-page-per-minute (ppm), 600dpi monochrome laser printer with a 1,200dpi grayscale and color scanner that sends documents either to your PC or out the built-in fax modem. The cleanly designed and easy-to-use Canon ImageClass MF5750 offers image quality and performance that excel at the most important tasks and suffice for the less important ones.
