With Canon: You can! In the case of this device very true. I have the equipment ordered on 1 December (Saturday night), time Tuesday, it was on my mat. To sum up my experience - I was impressed from the first moment. The device looks very good process, it is a simple, understandable user manual to perform the first steps. Print Cartridges are in - you have this only began, then the printer will automatically configure itself (unfortunately, a process of 13 minutes) and you can start to use the functions. The only catch: There is no connection cable for the PC, which I think would be self-evident in this price range. The functions and the execution of these have but then completely convinced me again: you can with many extras copy, with impeccable results. The quality of the scanned is also hervorragent - thanks to the bundled software. What is commendable, it is already an OCR program at (OmniPage SE - text recognition in documents), but unfortunately only in the stripped-down light version. For me, as a private user but this is fully sufficient and produce acceptable results. Overall, a SUPER device, a recommendation for everyone who is looking for a printer.
