Using its automatic duplexer, the TR8620 made two-sided text prints at a respectable pace of 3.1 ppm. Only a few models have been faster (all Canon printers), including our Editor's Choice, the Canon Pixma TS9120, at 1 minute and 57 seconds. The TR8620 printed a letter-sized photo on glossy paper in just 2 minutes and 4 seconds-roughly half the average time of 4 minutes and 3 seconds. The most impressive print speed was on glossy photos. Similarly, the TR8620 printed our six-page document of mixed text and color graphics in 1 minute, 52 seconds (or, 3.2 ppm) compared to the average of 2 minutes, 13 seconds (or, 2.7 ppm). The TR8620 printed our five-page text document in 32.6 seconds (or, 9.2 ppm) versus the average of 8.8 ppm for comparable models. Print speeds on plain paper were slightly faster than average. The TR8620 can send faxes via its 33.6 kbps modem, and can store up to 99 fax numbers and a maximum of 250 pages in its memory. But, most importantly, you will want to have adequate vertical clearance for raising the lid to place documents on the flatbed scanner glass. In addition, opening the ADF for use increases the height by an inch. Although the official depth with paper loaded is 14.4 inches, I found that with the rear tray tilted back and loaded with paper, and the output tray extended with the catch folded forward, the total depth increased to 26 inches. This is fairly typical of a home inkjet all-in-one. The body measures 17.3 inches (w) by 13.8 inches (d) by 7.5 inches (h).
#Canon printer utility sucks Bluetooth
Wireless connectivity via Bluetooth 4.0 is also available.

The TR8620 has a Hi-Speed USB port, and you can put it on a network via its Ethernet port or via Wi-Fi (both 2.4GHz and 5GHz are supported). The LCD offers a graphic to ensure you place the document properly to ensure a successful scan of the second side. That is, to make copies or scans of a two-sided document, you will have to run the document through the ADF twice, scanning one side at a time. The TR8620 is outfitted with a duplexer for two-sided printing, but automatic two-sided scanning is not supported. If this happens, click Cancel to display the most recent settings specified on your computer.To use the ADF atop the unit, you open the cover, which hinges outward to serve as a paper input support.

If the computer is unable to communicate with the printer, an error message may be displayed.

The Canon IJ Printer Utility allows you to perform printer maintenance or change the settings of the printer.
