The TR8620 captured a scan in 8.8 seconds, which was faster than the average of 11 seconds. The same was true of black-and-white scanning to PDF format at 300 dpi. By comparison, the Canon TS9120 and Brother MFC-J995DW were significantly faster, at 37.8 and 38.5 seconds, respectively. It scanned an 8-by-10 photo and saved it as a 600 dpi JPEG in 59 seconds, faster than the average of 65.8 seconds. The TR8620 was faster than the average at scanning both color photos and documents. By comparison, the Brother MFC-J805DW, which does offer automatic duplex copying, was significantly faster, making two-sided text copies at 3.1 ppm. The Pixma TR8620 copied a 10-page text document (five double-sheets) in 5 minutes, or 2 ppm, not counting the time it took to reinsert the document in the ADF. It's easy to follow the on-screen LCD instructions, which show you how to orient the document so the second scan is properly oriented. Rather, it offers manual duplex copying and scanning, whereby the user places the document in the ADF twice: Once for each side. The TR8620 does not offer automatic duplex scanning and copying. The Brother MFC-J995DW was slightly faster, at 7 ppm. Using its ADF, the TR8620 copied a five-page text document in 45 seconds, or 6.7 ppm. The HP Envy 7855 was slower in both tests, at 15.7 seconds and 24.1 seconds, respectively, while the Brother MFC-J995DW, was slower to copy text (12.7 seconds), but faster to copy color documents (15.1 seconds). By comparison, the Editor's Choice TS9120 was slower at making a text copy (at 14 seconds), but faster to make a color copy, at 17.3 seconds. It copied a page of text in 10.8 seconds, which was significantly faster than the average of 16 seconds. From the flatbed, the TR8620 copied a color document in 20.5 seconds-much faster than the 28.7 second average. Quick copying is arguably the TR8620's best office skill. Canon Pixma TR8620 review: Copy and scan speed Again, the Brother MFC-J995DW was faster, making two-sided text/color graphics prints at 3 ppm, while the HP Envy 7855 was substantially slower, at 1.2 ppm. As with two-sided text prints, there was a 14-second pause before printing began on the second side of each page. The TR8620 made two-sided prints of our color PDF at 2.3 ppm. By comparison, the HP Envy 7855 printed two-sided text documents at a brisker 3.7 ppm, while the Brother MFC-J995DW did so even faster, at 4 ppm. After printing the first side, the TR8620 paused for 14 seconds to let the ink dry before proceeding, taking a total of 3 minutes and 12 seconds to print the 10-page document on five sheets. 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). 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. To use the ADF atop the unit, you open the cover, which hinges outward to serve as a paper input support.
