Canon Pixma MX700 Office
A Canon Pixma MX 700 Office printer review
Canon Pixma MX700
The Canon Pixma MX700 is a good choice for people like me who need the versatility of a multifunction printer but do not want to spend several hundred dollars. This was the model that I selected for my home and it has far exceeded all of my expectations. Although the price for the Canon Pixma MX700 All In One is extremely affordable it packs a punch when it comes to capabilities. The Canon Pixma MX700 printer is a machine gives me a color inkjet printer with good speed and reliability. It also is a fax machine, photo printer and a sturdy little helper.
I have been very happy for the past few months with the outstanding reliability that the Canon Pixma MX700 office printer delivers. While I sometimes wish the speed were a little bit faster when it is printing out pages of text, I can not really complain because my Canon Pixma MX700 consistently prints pages at a standard rat of about 8-10 pages per minute. Unless you have some really heavy print needs this will probably be fast enough to suit you.
My kids use the print functions a lot and even though I am sure that there is some less than delicate use involved, the Canon Pixma MX700 just keeps on ticking along. I am extremely happy with the easy to navigate keyboard buttons. These never stick or get hung up and they are easy to figure out. There is also an LCD screen on the Canon Pixma MX700 printer that lets you keep track of what function is going on and it can give you cues to help guide you through any of the available functions.
The budget conscious features don’t end at the price either. The Canon Pixma MX700 uses a 4 ink color system that all load individually and you can program it so you only use your black cartridge. This lets you save money every time you print a page. The difference between printing a B/W page and a color page on the Canon Pixma MX700 can be almost 20 cents so I make sure to keep mine programmed away from color whenever possible.
I took advantage of some of the additional software and I am able to handle tasks that range from OCR to printing photos. The interface and design of the Solutions Menu on the Canon Pixma MX700 made it easy for me to coordinate all of these functions right through my desktop. The guides that are included have plenty of tips and help. This information is provided in an easy to follow format that makes troubleshooting a snap.
This Canon Pixma MX700 review shows that this has an ADF for the scanner and 2 input trays that can be loaded with paper. There is a vertical input tray located at the rear of the Canon Pixma MX700. This tray will be able to handle all sizes of paper for you, while the front loading tray only holds the standard paper made for letters. I much prefer using the front tray because of the convenience, and I have yet to try the rear compartment. What I can tell you is that the front tray feeds sheets at a smooth and constant rate and you will only occasionally encounter an annoying paper jam in the rollers.
