I thought the same!

This is a wonderful printer does everything is quiet and takes up very little space. Scans, prints double-sided, photos, faxes, prints, has a feeder or manual copying its a good printer and very reasonably priced.

As an owner of a Konica C224 photocopier...its better to buy a used unit even if its slightly older. The very last thing to worry about is toner, parts on the other hand are more expensive, but at least it won't end up as e-waste in 2 or 3 years. She's already 11 years old and going so far strong.

This was helpful, and when I measured my old Canon MG3620, it wasn't all that much larger. Also - I had fits with mine connecting wirelessly to my Mac until I selected "LAN settings" on the printer's small display screen under the "wi-fi" settings. Under the LAN settings, elect "enable". I hope that helps.

Thanks Alan!

One of the big problem of this printer is that it doesn't support double face scanning over feeder, which is a must in any PIXMA printer. The ink is another problem: it doesn't last even 100 pages, and the cartridges are expensive. This printer is a lemon.

Usually, when Cannon install it's driver it ask to allow your computer firewall to make an exception for this driver. If you skip it, you may need to do it manually or reinstall that driver and do that Firewall exception during second installation.

Mom wanted me to go pick her up a wireless printer. This one is $119 ink is $62. What I don’t like about new printers is having to use an app to do some of the functions on printer. On my HP laser printer it’s easy to print from phone without using the app. Cannon could be same way. If she doesn’t print pictures anymore, might be better to get laser printer.

Can you use 3rd party replacement ink cartridges or does the firmware pre-loaded prohibit this? I made the mistake of downloading an update to my Epson Workforce 3720 printer that prohibited the use of 3rd party cartridges even though I had done it for over a year. I heard there is a class action lawsuit against Epson because of this situation. Regarding the SCAN feature. So there is no item in the Menu that you can select Scan and get a document to feed into the machine? BTW, it's nice that I can actually understand what you are saying instead of trying to interpret "broken" English.

My 20-year old Brother printer has this feature but it seems TR4720 doesn't allow you to select a section of the scanned document/photo in preview mode and then scan (with higher resolution) the selected section of that document/photo only.

In Windows search bar on lower left, type "Scan". It will give a link for the Windows Fax and Scan App. Click this and you can see the preview of what you scan.

Not a good choice if scanning is to phone through an app. If wifi is not reliable how does it work? I really wanted to keep this product… and think ink issues I am reading about is going to be a problem. I basically bought this product for scanning purposes. But having the other functions is good to have.

Helpful vidio; Just bought this. Prints okay, size (other than side tray) is okay BUT NO manual (with printer or on line!). Mine is set on "duplex" printing and I can't figure out how to get to single page printing then switch back. Tried from my computer and the printer's settings--but no luck. Any ideas?

Hey Ron 👋 I hope you’re well.

Worst printer I ever bought! First off I had it less than a month and have already had to purchase 2 sets of ink! $24.99 +tax on just one black ink. The scanner multiple copies… it drags a few papers at a time regardless how neatly stacked, I had to manually hold each sheet before it gets sucked in and it would crumble sideways causing my documents to get damaged on the edges. I had a Brother MFC280 before this one and HARDLY EVER replaced ink. This printer is no good.

Sorry, but a $65 printer may have limited use. Cartridges are generally expensive. Be on guard, this is my second Canon, the first only lasted 8 months with a warranty by Asurion. This warranty was under Canada's jurisdiction therefore it was useless. This $139 printer began to have feeder problems. Feeder would put down extra paper. After a few months of use, feeder would feed in one sheet of paper that got stuck in the middle and caused printer to believe there was a paper jam. I worked with both Amazon and Canon to no avail. My saving grace was having AT&T who covers IT products for $45/mo. They were unable fix it and refunded me. I may seem crazy for purchasing another less expensive Canon but I have 3 Canons that I have had for years without an ounce of trouble. I figured it this way, without a warranty and paying so little, I will toss the dawn thing!

I was not certain this model printer would print legal size paper. However, After looking at this video, I realize I can.
