Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I got this printer not as a replacement, but a supplement to the brother laser printer I already have. It also pretty much replaces my old Epson scanner, which is showing signs of aging.
PROS: Amazingly easy to set up. I own a Mac, and it's basically plug n play like most Mac compatible products. My OS immediately recognized the new hardware and prompted to download the necessary software which is very intuitive and easy to understand.
The onboard display is VERY easy to understand and most of the commands can come from the printer itself without having to open any programs on your computer. For example, you want to make a simple copy of something press "COPY" and it will do so within seconds. Scanning, same thing but it will automatically open the appropriate program for you after you press "SCAN" ... it works in reverse as well, so you can always open up the program manually.
It does seem to be an amazing value for getting a 3-in-1 deal. I have not used the fax feature yet, but I imagine that it would deliver similar results to the scanner and printer.
Scanning quality looks good. I do some pretty basic scans for web-view type of imagery so I think most scanners suffice for this purpose. If you plan on scanning things for larger blow up or printing, then this probably won't do it for you. The scan area is only a little bigger than letter size.
CONS: As far as amazing resolution, this printer will not necessarily give you that. For standard copies and documents it will get the job done and then some. If you are looking for a printer that can give you really nice images (something that you will use specifically for photo printing) then you might as well splurge and get something that will give you amazing resolution. While this printer is not bad at all, you will be much more satisfied with splurging a little more for DOPE resolution.
So, this combo is very nice. I honestly don't see myself using it to print (as in word documents) as much as I will use the copy and scan features. But, if you have a small office or even want this for your small business it seems like it will do the trick for you. At this price, it seems really hard to beat.
I own a fair number of Canon products now, and they all have stood up to their reputation. They are durable and seem to have lasted all this time without breakage. You can probably expect this one to last you quite a while.
