Canon Color imageCLASS MF665Cdw Review
A capable current-generation color laser that balances speed, duplex scanning and simpler cartridge maintenance.
At a Glance
This model is best suited to small offices needing a modern color laser with strong two-sided scanning. Its strongest buying points are sharp color laser documents, single-pass duplex scanning, and integrated-drum toner cartridges.
Technical Assessment
A moderate-speed color laser all-in-one with duplex document handling, PCL support, Gigabit Ethernet and strong network security. Its relatively compact 250-sheet cassette suits small teams, but confirmed capacity expansion is absent from the exact support record.
Performance
Independent testing found sharp documents, roughly 26 ppm printing and a strong single-pass duplex ADF. The scanner and office controls are more convincing than its photo output.
Features and Workflow
The feature set combines automatic duplex scanning, an automatic document feeder rated for 50-sheet duplex automatic document feeder, paper handling of 250-sheet cassette plus one-sheet manual feed slot, and Interfaces: Hi-Speed USB 2.0 and Gigabit Ethernet. Together, these capabilities support more complete day-to-day workflows and reduce reliance on a single headline specification.
Reliability and Ownership
Canon maintains an active US store and support route. Drums are integrated into the toner cartridges, simplifying service at the expense of cartridge cost.
