Thanks for the review! Beware of aftermarket toner cartridges!!! I have a MF642CDW that has worked PERFECTLY for four years. However the last non-OEM toner I bought ruined it because of massive toner leakage. The local Canon dealer said the ITB will need replacing because it damaged the wiper blade. Cost to repair is same as purchase price of a new printer. So I will likely buy the 656 model. I absolutely loved my older printer and have learned my lesson. Only original OEM cartridges for me from now on.

Wow, sorry to hear that. Thank you for letting us know. Once my toner gets low, I will be reviewing an aftermarket set. Then we can see what happens 1st hand. I plan on getting some decent quality cartridges with the Smart Chip. This video may be in the next few months.

Great unboxing/review. Very thorough. Thank you for taking the time to record.

Thank you for the great insight on the glossy photo paper issue. I have both a color laser and inkjet printer - and have thought about using my laser printer for photos.

Thanks for the review. I just set mine up today. Please give us an update with the aftermarket toner cartridges.

Thanks for watching the video. I have not done the toner video yet since you need a Smart Chip in the cartridge in order for it to not give warning messages about not having original cartridges and for the ink level to display correctly. I spoke with a representative from one of the aftermarket manufacturers, and they told me that this type of Smart Cartridge was new, and if I waited a couple of months, the price would drop as the market caught up. So since I don't use my printer too much, my plan was to wait a bit. The aftermarket cartridges I show in the video do not have the Smart Chips and will most likely work as described above.

Thanks for the video. I had a kid haul it and set it up. Is it the blue cord that goes into the taped area that says wait until down load info? I also gather I need to use my cell phone and find an app ?

Hi, you are welcome, and thank you for watching. It all depends on how you plan to connect it. If wireless, then just connect it to your wifi network. If wired, you would use what looks like a large phone jack. Then you need to install the 2 softwares I show in the video. Happy printing!

Maybe I missed it but what is the slot/feeder above the paper tray? I have this printer and when I push a sheet of paper inside the slot/feeder the printer will push it in.

Hi thank you for your video! Can you use different sized paper in this printer? like smaller sheets eg A5 or A6 or b7? thank you!

Hi there, how are you finding the scanning functionality? Scan to email/Google Drive, or OCR? Would be great to know. What made you choose this one over something like MF754Cdw for example? Thanks so much.

@Real_Reviews

3 ай бұрын

I honestly only purchased the printer for light printing and scanning to and from Android devices and PC. I have found it rather simple to use via the provided software. As far as scan to email, Google drive and OCR I have not tried as I generally do not use those. I chose this particular model since it was on sale at Staples and I had a decent store credit about to expire. I only paid about $100 for this unit out of pocket and am happy with it so far.

That extra piece of plastic is called a legal dust cover. You were close but you didn't quite install it properly. To the right of the lever you moved, there is another lever that expands the tray to full legal size. THEN the dust cover goes on and it will fit properly. I had to google this to find it. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!

I live in the U.K. and have been thinking about this printer, the print quality looks great. I don’t know is it’s the same over in the states but here in the U.K. the toner cartridges for this printer are very expensive, and that putting me off buying it. I’ve been looking at the Xerox C315 A4 Colour Printer, which has a cost per page about half of this printer, but I need to find out what the print quality is like…..having said all that I might still go for the Canon as my print volumes are not that high.

To be honest I originally only got this printer because it was on sale and I had almost $200 in store credit that was about to expire. I did not expect much I just hoped it was better than my Ricoh. But when I printed that 1st page I was very happy I got it. Original toner is about the same price for both coming in around $100 per cartridge. If you decide on aftermarket toner the quality may be a bit lower. For the Canon if your looking aftermarket be sure to get a set that includes the smart chip so you wont have any issues. Best of luck.

Does this printer buzz or hum loud when on wake? The 752 /753 /754 are extremely noisy unless only in sleep. Unusable if you sit by it, I’m getting headaches.

I am still waiting for a quality product to emerge with the smart chip at a reasonable cost. The one I had originally did not have the smart chip, and several reported that the cartridge leaked and damaged their printer. I do apologize for the delay. The smart chip is a newer technology, and it takes time for the aftermarket industry to catch up. As soon as I find a good one, I will review it.

I have not tried it yet but according to what I researched it does. Here is how: Here is the answer: Insert a USB DRIVE > Place your 2-sided documents in the ADF > Press HOME > Select SCAN > Select USB MEMORY > Scroll Down to 2-SIDED ORIGINAL > Select BOOK TYPE > Press START (B&W or COLOR). What is not obvious is that that the SCAN window SCROLLS to view additional settings and that is where the 2-sided scanning option is selected.
