MP500, MP600, or MX850 question.

[Ron350]

Will the MP500, MP600, or the MX850 scan and make a copy without being connected to a computer?

 

[PeterBJ]

The mentioned models are all able to function as stand alone copiers without computer connection. I think all Canon multifunctionals have this ability.

Thanks Peter and can you tell me which one has the better scanner?

I have all three here but have not tested any yet. I am attempting to restore and make a copy of a damaged label and need a scanner copier.

All three scanners share the same specs except for one -- the important Optical Resolution.

Scanning Element
Contact Image Sensor (CIS)

Max. Resolutions
Interpolated:19,200 x 19,200

Scanning Mode
48-bit internal / 24-bit external

Max. Document Size
8.5 x 11.7

Optical Resolution:
MP500 - 1200 x 2400 dpi
Mp600 - 2400 x 4800 dpi
MX850 - 4800 x 9600 dpi

More Optical Resolution is typically desirable.

Thanks Stratman I will print this page.

Now I need a new computer and fast ISP to be able to do what I want.
