Controls/buttons/dials (6)
The Canon Pixma MX850 has what looks like a pulled out control panel bar. This panel stretches out and sits towards the top front end of the printer.

The panel is black with black buttons and white letterings and pictographs. The buttons are evenly spaced. With the TFT screen resting in the middle of the control panel, half of the buttons sit on one side while the other half on the other side. The function buttons are on the left: On/Off, Copy, Fax, Scan and Memory Card, Feed Switch, Fax Quality, Two-Sided and Search. Also on the left are eight the one-touch speed dial buttons along with the two alert lights: In Use/Memory and the Alarm light.  

The dial-pad, Start buttons and Menu buttons along with associating arrow, settings and editing buttons are on the right.

Size / Portability (3.08)

The Canon MX850 isnot meant to be a portable printer. At 30.7 lbs, the printer is not easily lifted. It’s also a fairly bulky printer with dimensions of: 19W x 20D x 10.2H. Using the back tray isn’t all that convenient, especially if seated high, like on a desk hutch.
