Title: I’m able to print pages directly from my phone while laying in bed in another room.
Review: 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.

Title: I like the speed and 2-sided copying
Review: As the headline says the speed and ability to copy 2-sided documents is great. Although the whole idea of using a FAX seems outdated, there have been occasions when I need to fax a document - and fax is the most secure way to electronically send a document.I have wired ethernet in my home office so I just plugged in the network cable and the printer grabbed an IP address from my router (via DHCP) and was ready to go. It was immediately available to print from my iPhone.As some reviewers said the software installation can be a little confusing. One of the steps is to choose one (or more) drivers for the printer. There really is no simple description between the 3 drivers to help you decide. I chose all three and ended up with 3 different Canon printers showing in my Windows 11 PC. I just used the first one to print and it works just fine. I'll probably remove the other 2 to avoid confusion. I recommend you just choose the first driver unless you know what the others do.One of my first uses was to print some address labels. I really liked the ability to load more than one blank label pages in the secondary feeder rather than the usual one-at-a-time found on my old multi-function printer. The back of the printer opens up to keep the label pages from curling up and possibly jamming the printer.When I first tried labels for some reason the printer thought there was a paper jam (there wasn't) and the process of clearing the jam was a little crazy. The screen required me to go through a bunch of steps and keep pressing next. I couldn't figure out how to circumvent all the steps and it 'sensed' when I completed each step - like take out the toner cartridge.The touch screen could use a lot of improvement. If you are used to using a smart phone screen you will be a little frustrated with this printer's screen. I doesn't seem to work all the time. Did I press that button already? Why didn't that work? Just slow down and use deliberate presses to avoid some frustration.I purchased this during Prime Days at an extremely attractive price. I look forward to trying out more of the features such as 2-sided scanning and higher resolution printing. I still wonder if it will do 2-sided fax too.

Title: Absolutely th Best
Review: After buying a Brother that would have 'memory full' after a one page scan, I went back to the Canon. I am so impressed with the speed and ease to scan. Allowing a folder per day for all the scans to go into it makes it easier to go back and organize in those crazy days! Would absolutely buy again!

Title: Better for home use
Review: Copies good, prints good but quite spernickity on a network. Not easy to setup. Continuously have problems and have to call IT guys to get it back on network. Had both of them completely setup and networked. Everything working…copy, print, scan. Would work for a day or two and then somehow roll off of network. Now we can’t get one of them to scan. An update must have been done because they now will not print multiple copies from a computer, which is a pain! The Canon model we had before this was waaaaay better, they were just old and had black streaky lines when they printed so they needed to be replaced.I would recommend this model for home use but not a retail environment that is networked.

Title: Great hardware, software is kinda meh
Review: The hardware is great. Maybe even awesome.Software is OK but could be better. The software works, it's functional ... the scan software is up to snuff. Print and fax ... pretty bare bones and for some of it, you end up going through the touch screen instead of a UI on your computer. Unless the printer is right next to you, that's less than optimum.I didn't downgrade the rating because of the software, the hardware truly is great and the software can get better. Since this is a fairly new model, I expect Canon will be updating it so that the software matches the hardware in quality.Are you listening Canon?

Title: I HAVE NOT BEEN PAID IN ANY FORM FOR THIS REVIEW
Review: UPDATE:Reduced to one star. I have this printer in my home office. The scanner does not work unless it is cable connected to my computer. Defeats the purpose of getting wireless. I have returned the printer since the original review because of this very flaw!I was really looking forward to this printer. Unfortunately, its a disappointment so far.*** The biggest issue I have with this machine is the hard to decipher user interface. It is clunky and seems like the engineers went out of their way to make it confusing. In fact adjusting the printer/scanner settings are so tedious, it completely diminishes anything else this machine might be capable of.1- The print quality is acceptable. But nothing spectacular.2 - The scanner is mediocre. Image reproduction is unrefined and it will reproduce normal straight lines as lines with alternating/varying thickness. Almost like an old TV set for those of you that are old enough to know what a rabbit ear antenna is! As an engineer I would probably point to the hardware for either inadequate image sampling rate or poor filtering of the acquired image signal.3 - Hooking up to my network at home was another pain in the rear end. Again, points to the clunky user interface for poor usability.4 - From what I can tell so far, the scanner utility that Canon provides on its website only works if you have hardwired the printer to a computer.5 - Finally, and perhaps this speaks to a company still stuck in the old ways - who sends a CD-ROM with their products anymore? Really?
