Canon MultiPASS F50 Flatbed Multifunction description
Designed with the small office in mind, Canon's F50 Multipass combines several necessary functions inside one sleek box that fits snugly into an 18-by-24-inch space. Featuring a fax machine, copier, scanner and printer, this speedy and accurate machine is an economical personal assistant for the home office.

Faxes are transmitted as quickly 3 seconds per page; color sheets may take as long as 60 seconds. With programmable dialing options for 12 one-touch numbers and a 30-page automatic document feeder, it practically operates by itself. The transmission memory can contain up to 270 pages, and users have easy access to a number of utility reports.

The printer and copier are compatible with envelopes, transparencies, photo paper, stickers, and transfers as well as plain paper in letter or legal sizes. For monochrome sheets, the F50 churns out up to 17 pages per minute at 600 x 600 dpi; in color, it can process up to 12 pages per minute at an outstanding 2,400 x 1,200 dpi. The paper tray can handle up to 100 sheets of plain paper. Up to 99 copies can be created from one original, with available magnification options ranging from 25 to 400 percent.

The flatbed scanner offers 9,600 x 9,600 dpi and 36-bit color depth; hobbyists can easily process their vacation photos while professionals can quickly organize important documents.

The F50 is fully compatible with PC and Macintosh systems, and includes a scan processing software package. Canon provides a one-year limited warranty on parts and service, along with an InstantExchange program. --Jill Lightner

Canon MultiPASS F50 Flatbed Multifunction Customer Reviews

networking and XP update

I have had this printer since 7/2002 for home use, and thought I'd share my experience with other users. My F50 works for both my networked XP computers using Windows File and Printer Sharing. (I have the firewall that comes with my security suite turned off.) To avoid that annoying message with a blinking red light that it can't connect, I just don't load the driver and toolbar on the networked computer. Despite the message, printing works. One major catch: It only works for the first user that has logged in to the computer that it's physically connected to, however. If on that computer I log in to a second user, that user will not be able to print.

Since I purchased this printer before I knew I would have a home network and before I used XP, I didn't know about this problem. I don't really blame Canon, but a little foresight would have been nice. Canon does seem like a fairly responsible company that continues to support this old hardware as best they can.

If you have problems with printing looking fuzzy, you probably haven't aligned the printheads since the last installation of print cartridges. The printer doesn't remind you to do so, so it's up to you to do it.

I also agree that you must get good photo paper for this printer. I tried some generic paper, and the prints were all greenish. Both Epson and Canon photo papers produce good prints.

This printer doesn't support borderless printing.

That's all, I'm not very discerning about print quality and other things, so I leave that to other reviewers with superior taste. I don't really use the scanner much anymore, since it takes too long and all my recent pictures are already digital. Copier/scanner/fax/printer all work fine, no malfunctions. The buttons on the front panel are very user-friendly.
