Pros & Cons

Pros

  • Fast and High-Quality Printing: The printer delivers crisp, sharp text at speeds up to 35 pages per minute, with a very quick first-print time of under five seconds.
  • Versatile Multifunction Features: It includes a useful auto document feeder (ADF), automatic duplex printing, and reliable mobile printing capabilities via AirPrint and the Canon PRINT app.
  • Excellent Value: Reviewers highlight it as a cost-effective choice for small offices, offering professional features like a 250-sheet paper tray and efficient toner usage at a competitive price.

Cons

  • Difficult Setup and Connectivity: Many users reported a frustrating initial setup process, particularly on Mac systems, and some experienced persistent issues maintaining a stable wireless connection.
  • Outdated User Interface: The small, non-touch monochrome display and physical button layout are described as obsolete and less intuitive than modern touchscreen interfaces.
  • Poor Paper Exit Design: The printed pages are deposited in a recessed middle opening that makes them difficult to see or retrieve without reaching deep into the machine.

    I recently wrote a somewhat unfavorable review for a different printer (not a Canon), which I found extremely difficult to set up, and which I ended up returning. However this printer was relatively easy to set up and configure. Copying either single or multi-page documents is very straightforward. Configuring the wireless/network connection was easy. The control panel display and buttons are clear and reasonably intuitive. Setting up the scanning feature required a bit more effort – it was necessary to download the scanning software for the computer (I have Mac OS Sequoia) from the Canon website, but again, once installed the software was easily able to detect the device on the network. The multi-page document feed is really useful, and is a feature not found on many similarly priced machines. Overall I am very satisfied with this purchase, and it is excellent value.

    I got this cannon printer for under 190 dollars.
    I can scan, copy, and print. Print quality is great and it is fast.
    Very easy to set up. We used it i our office of 10 employees, connected through a wired LAN network.
    It can scan to the specific user folder.

    Purchased this to replace a 15 year old Canon printer that my wife and I had been using. The old printer still worked, but we decided to replace because an upgrade in our internet service caused us difficulties in sharing. This new one has all the capabilities of our old one with two additional things going for it. One is the wireless capability. Our old printer was used like a wireless through a USB port in the modem. This one has true wireless and setup was easy. The other thing this one has that the old one didn’t was the document feeder for the copier/scan/fax. The old one did not come with that feature. We haven’t yet made much use of it except for testing, but with my wife being a teacher, I am sure we will.

    If you need a multi-function machine, I highly recommend this one.

    Every single time I try to print I have to have our family IT professional reset this printer. I can never just hit print and get my document. Extremely disappointed as Canon has always been so reliable in the past.

    I purchased model MF284dw and watched the above video. I have Windows 11. It took 20 minutes to setup my printer and computer. I did not try to understand the enclosed confusing setup instructions. The printer and scanner are working with no problems.
