I have to scan many documents of a variety of paper sizes and I'm having a heck of a time doing that because I have to constantly run back and forth from the machine to the computer terminal, clearing errors all the time! The warnings are so frequent that the scanner is barely usable! I honestly feel like I was scammed!I was always under the impression that Canon produced good products, but they must have been on vacation when they designed this multifunction machine! The printer is fine. No complaints there.The scanner and software is so bad, I half believe that they intentionally designed it this way to aggravate users!If the slightest thing is unexpected it halts your scan process and you cannot proceed unless you provide input from the computer (which is not always next to the machine Canon)! You cannot clear the error from the scanner which is ridiculous! That's where your performing the task!Also, in this day and age, computers have enough memory and processing power to allow for automatic cropping (and de-skew), doing away with the need to specify the paper size! Using microswitches and the contrast of paper from the scanner bed background via imaging, it should be fairly easy to determine or at least estimate paper size to the nearest likely size. If you don't set the paper size correctly when using the flat bed, it throws a warning and requires user interaction, again at the computer terminal! At the very least, they could give us the option to NOT halt the job when there is warning (no interaction required) OR allow the user to clear the error at the machine itself!The communication between the computer and the machine appears to not be synchronized properly or severely delayed because after a considerably amount of time, it throws a warning stating that "originals were left in the feeder" when attempting to load the next batch. The software thinks you just inserted originals immediately after the previous job when it was 30 sec to 60 sec ago! So I have to wait more than a minute before I can load the next job to avoid a warning that (you guessed it) requires user interaction at the computer terminal??? Seriously???On top of that, sometimes the automatic feeder grabs more than one sheet at a time and damages originals because the "throat" is not entirely smooth! There are edges in there! Why???And could it hurt to allow scanning of non-standard paper lengths like banners for example? Give us a banner mode!I would expect better from Canon!To summarize: the scanner is not up to modern standards and was not designed with productivity and workflow in mind (perhaps to anger users), there should be auto-crop, auto-de-skew, auto-blank page detection standard in a modern scanner, and at the very least, allow clearing errors from the machine which is where your physically doing the scanning!Can I have my money back please??

We bought this for our home when the last printer died. We have to say we really like this one. It starts up right away and prints fairly quick for a budget printer. The scanning work very well and is easy to use. Double-sided printing has been error free also.

I wish I could give this 3.5 stars. The printer works great! .... When it wants to connect. The printing, scanning, multi functionality is fantastic....when it wants to connect. Then I cannot stop each time it decides to connect it goes through a test print cycle and wastes paper and I have to reload five sheets every single time. Drivers don't fix it. Connecting USB doesn't fix it. There aren't many settings that allow me to mitigate the issue of connectivity. Printers have always had issues, and I guess it will continue to be like this through the entirety of civilization. I have to restart the printer and my PC to get it to connect. It makes no sense. Printers will never make sense to me.

I give a 5 star because it’s very convenient and easy to use. I use it for personal use and have not regretted it. IT DOES NOT TAKE COLOR INK. Keep in mind when getting. Again, in happy with it.

This printer is a breeze for homeschooling, doing notary work, printing workbooks out all Bluetooth from other rooms. I’m able to easily print to this printer with a touch of one button on my phone. I’m able to make copies. This is a black and white printer only which I don’t mind which saves me money on ink. It works well. It’s easy to setup. It prints ridiculously fast. The size is great for any home office. It has a wireless connection and Bluetooth ability. I snagged mine on Amazon prime day for additional savings. It’s a great value for my money. It’s durable and efficient. It has a sleep mode when not using.

I got a wonderful deal on this printer, and I don’t regret it for a moment! It has exceptional, speed and many options. I’ve used it to print an envelope, and that was relatively easy to figure out copies are simple and very fast and printing from any wireless device is a breeze. Using some of the more complicated features was more complicated than it needed to be. For instance, scanning a document and uploading it to a cloud server was extremely complicated. Do you have to go to the IP address of the printer, then go through a ton of different settings to configure it And then it only allows you to do it in that one preset manner you are unable to change whether you’re submitting a JPEG or PDF color or black-and-white so you would need a different button programmed for every type of scan that you want to do, as I said previously, unnecessarily complicated . My last printer had a single button that said, upload the cloud, and you could press that and then choose your options before you start at the scan, but given all the features available and the variety of ways to get documents, saved to cloud or local hard drive., this was definitely worth it!
