Canon MultiPass F60 Printer Review
| Canon MultiPass F60 - All-in-one for the small office or the home users
|  |
Canon MultiPass F60 doesn't do faxes. But it does every other chore that you expect from a multifunction device such as photocopying, scanning, and printing.
Canon MultiPass F60 Inkjet Printer quality is very good for regular and borderless pictures. It features the exclusive Canon Think Tank System. This intelligent ink-management system has four separate ink cartridges - one for each color. When one color runs out, you replace just one tank rather than the entire ink cartridge.
The MultiPass Suite of Canon MultiPass F60 targets users who want to easily e-mail or share photos, Easy-PhotoPrint technology is unexceptional but it is fine for tweaking images and OmniPage SE tecnology has accurate character recognition.

Reviews Summary:
The summary is based on testimonials of the Canon MultiPass F60 users and editors in various sources such as PC Magazine, Cnet, PCWorld etc.
There is no automatic document feeder (ADF) on Canon MultiPass F60, which means you have to copy documents and scans one at a time. But, the 100-sheet input tray and sturdy output tray enables the inkjet printer module to churn out sizable print jobs. There is a unique low-ink sensor alerts in Canon MultiPass F60 inkjet printer you so you can drop in a new ink cartridge before running out of ink in the middle of a print job.
