Strengths: Auto document feeder

Weaknesses: Old fashioned control panels, running cost is high

Canon MX320 inkjet color multifunction printer is a compact, multifunctional and cost-cutting multifunction printer. The printer offers professional copying, faxing, printing and scanning. The printer also features a self-opening paper tray. Very good quality photo prints and documents are available within seconds. Compared to other printers, the Canon MX320 inkjet color multifunction printer is faster and provides laser quality prints. Scanning and copying can be easily done with the help of the 30-sheet auto document feeder. Photos printed on glossy photo paper from Canon are of superior quality. They are free from visible grains. Photos can be printed directly from any compatible digital camera.

The printer is intelligent enough to recognize the type of original document and save it with suitable settings. This can be done with just one click. Scanned documents can be directly transferred to a USB memory card or flash memory which is attached to the printer. For extra connectivity, a Bluetooth adapter can be attached to the printer. The Quick Start feature enables you to operate the printer quickly after Power-On. The printer has one black pigment ink cartridge and another dye-based color ink cartridge. The printer directly sends the faxes from PC without printing it first.

The control panel of the printer seems somewhat old-fashioned. The Quick Setup page should ideally have less number of options that it actually has. The text outputs are not satisfactory. Even at 1.9 ppm the outputs are not stunning. In comparison, the photo printouts have better quality. The scanned documents of Canon MX320 inkjet color multifunction printer are also not very good in quality. Before, purchasing the printer make sure you have enough space to accommodate it.
