Customer Reviews

This all-in-one is a respectable product. Since I can't really find any other reviews on this model I thought I would be as in depth as possible. I bought it for my home office with two desktops and one laptop computer. I did not have any problems installing the software or setting it up. I downloaded the most updated software directly from Canon's website (which I recommend) rather than installing it from the CD. Setup was easy. Follow the unpacking instructions EXACTLY as it is printed, as there are pieces of tape you might otherwise miss. It is about as large as I expected but not overly cumbersome to move with one person, even though two are recommended. The paper tray is wimpy but holds an amount of paper comparable to an ink jet printer.

This type of Canon all-in-one has an annoying "Adjusting" feature which starts after a seemingly random number of pages printed or copied. During the adjustment you can start jobs but they will not process until the adjustment is complete. About a minute and a half or so. I noticed this in reviews for other similar Canon models. Speed is as expected if you read the specs. Plenty fast but nothing to brag about. The auto sheet feeder works, though everything scanned is slightly cockeyed, but not enough to be a deal breaker for me. Regular computer prints come out straight. The USB port on the front is handy. You can scan directly to a USB flash drive or print from one. The oddity - you can scan TO a PDF, JPEG or TIFF file, directly onto your flash drive. But the only files you can print via flash drive are JPEG files -- no PDF's. (Um, ok?)

Cartridges are expensive just as they are for similar products of any brand. Comes with starter cartridges (less toner than regular ones). I have printed 9 color pages (which came out AWESOME) and even though the color pages were not printed as recently as the b/w, and none were overly heavy on yellow, the yellow cartridge is now reporting low. All of our settings default to B/W printing so I am not sure how after 9 pages this thing could possibly be low.

The Scan-to-PC buttons are helpful. Place your documents, press the button (once set up--easy), start the scan and when you get to your computer, the box will have popped up and be waiting for you to complete the job. I haven't used the fax. Loudness is as expected for a laser printer, not overly quiet but not horribly loud. Energy save comes on after awhile not using the button functions, but it does still print with energy save mode on. The Wi-Fi works great and was easy to set up, I have not used the Ethernet port or USB but assume it would be just as easy.

Overall I am satisfied with this unit. It seems to be as solidly built as other comparable units. The only thing I wish it had was 2-sided scan and print, but for the price I still think it is a good buy.
