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- Outdated User Interface: The small, non-touch monochrome display and physical button layout are described as obsolete and less intuitive than modern touchscreen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.

Easy to set up, configure, and use. Excellent value.
Verified purchase Verified purchase: This reviewer bought the product.Rob L. October 24, 2025Review source: AmazonI 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.

Awesome
Verified purchase Verified purchase: This reviewer bought the product.fuel2u October 22, 2025Review source: AmazonPurchased 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.

Will not print with professional assistance

I can never just hit print and get my document. Extremely disappointed as Canon has always been so reliable in the past.
