This review is from: Canon imageCLASS MF3240 Monochrome Laser All-in-One Printer (Office Product) I bought the Canon imageCLASS MF3240 about a month ago, and so far it has exceeded my expectations. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone who is in the market for a multifunction device without the need to print in color. If you prefer getting your digital photos printed by an online or in-store photo processor, a laser multifunction is usually the way to go -- since it's a lower cost per page, it's faster, and the output is better quality than an inkjet.
APPEARANCE/CONSTRUCTION: You can tell that it's a sub-$200 machine by the construction. Don't expect the same kind of solid feel that you'll get from a much more expensive piece of equipment. A few of the plastic parts feel a little flimsy, like the paper tray. But they all seem to work fine, and I don't have any concerns about durability. Unless you're really tough on your office equipment, you should be ok. The MF3240 isn't the sexiest looking multifunction out there (if you're looking for a...Read more 46 of 47 people found the following review helpful: By This review is from: Canon imageCLASS MF3240 Monochrome Laser All-in-One Printer (Office Product) Pros:
- Inexpensive (I paid $155.99/free shipping here at Amazon which is amazing considering all the functions I get from this solid machine) - Good computer printing... it does what a b/w laser printer is supposed to: great on text and ok on graphics. It does a comparable job as my previous HP LJ1100 laser printer. Internal paper tray which holds 250 pages is an improvement over my HP. - Appropriate scanning result. Good for document archiving purpose. I tried to scan an old color photo and print it in another color inkjet printer. The result is beyond my expectation. - Copier does what it is supposed to. Pretty easy to operate and configure different settings. Cons: - FAX function in general is a dispointment. First, if I connect the printer with my phone (i.e.,in-line or serial), the printer "wakes up" from idle mode whenever I pick up the phone. I have to use a splitter to avoid this nuisance. As a result, I pretty much need to set...Read more 85 of 93 people found the following review helpful: By This review is from: Canon imageCLASS MF3240 Monochrome Laser All-in-One Printer (Office Product) This is a good product for its price. I have not found any deficiencies so far in the features this machine offers.
There are two major features (from my point of view) that this unit lucks: - automatic document feeder; - double-sided printing; For those of you who would like to have those features, I strongly recommend to consider another model, like Canon MF4150 for example (which btw costs only $40 more). If I could turn back time, I would definitely go for the MF4150. |
