It’s easy to fit the cartridges into the color-coded print head. The arrangement works really for stocking the lower cassette with Letter sized plain paper, and using the rear feeder for sheets of photo paper or other creative project-based media of varying sizes. There are two paper input trays, including an integral cassette which slides into the bottom of the printer at the front, and an upright paper feed at the back. Speaking of which, the printer has built-in Wi-Fi and supports the Canon PRINT app, as well as Apple AirPrint and Morphia for Android.įrom taking the printer out of the box, the initial set-up only takes about 15 minutes to complete, including removing all the packing pieces, fitting all five cartridges and running the automatic print head alignment procedure. It also has a QR code button which works in conjunction with the OLED screen for hooking into the internet via a mobile phone or other smart device.
On the plus side, this more affordable printer does have a neat LED status bar, which lights up in a scrolling left-to-right action to show that printing is in progress.
