At first I was puzzled where important parts such as cartridges and print head are hidden. After researching the instructions I found them using the printer itself. So as Intermediate worth taking a look at the manual.
The installation was simple, though for network installation initially a USB connection is used. That could prove to be difficult if you do not want to install near the desktop printer. But the procedure must be done only once (eg with laptop), all other devices then book via LAN.
The quality of the device is as always very good at Canon. It makes a solid impression and is expected no rattling. Operation is intuitive and easy to learn even for beginners. Since there is for the most important functions assigned and easily understandable buttons that can be provided even partly with German (and also other languages) stickers, should non-technical fast so get along.
For print quality, there is only one thing to say: Absolutely top class. The settings for photo printing replace almost the photo software, copies are indistinguishable from the original. The CD label copy works top notch. She was so real to me that my wife was taken directly to the printed for rehearsal only blank with the car. Kick-off included. But even she finds the printer now and can handle your super. That he carries out the most important functions even without a computer, my wife has regarding this. Even taken fears.
The automatic duplex feeder works great too. Although a bit slower, but so far without feeding problems.
A little ridiculous I find the illuminated print cartridges when they are lodges. Leaving aside the nonsense away, you can certainly save a bit of money for the production of cartridges. Something does not have to be. What's next? Voice chip for the announcement of the level?
From time to time printhead issues are identified on the Internet and criticized the inertia of the device. But I can not confirm. For the home user and small office, the device is fast enough, which is actually an understatement.
This device is the great progress that I expected. Here's missing the transparency unit, but who has still negatives.
Absolute top product for a reasonable price !!!
