Item: Canon Color ImageClass MF644Cdw Reviewer: David 3D Shipping and Assembly: I received this product in exchange for my unbiased opinion. Package was securely boxed. Takeout, locating cords, pieces and light assembly was an ease. Set up: On Screen setup in front of Printer was clear. Setting Date and time was easy, though scrolling through US Time Zones was hard to find. I stumbled upon the correct Time Zone playing with Start up Screen. To download the computer software, a disk was included. Installation was easy through the step by step progressions. The software was also online and the same easy step by step progressions were possible through the online software, also. Connection to computer was easy with USB Cord. Hooking to network a little more of a challenge for a novice. Printing Accessibility and Quality: To print a document from your computer was easy. Select the Canon printer from the drop down menu on your Printer Options. When wanting to print, click on the print icon, select File/ Print, or use Control P. All printing selection ways bring you to a Printer screen. The screen will say “Ready” under the Printer Selection. The paper may be printed in color or Black and White by selection. Pages are printed quickly. The layout of the printed paper is accurate to what shows on computer screen when selected to print. The quality is good. Boldness of color and sharpness or print could be a bit more enriched. This can be enhanced by using the Screen to improve sharpness and color ratio. After the adjustments, the print quality was excellent. Scanning is simple! Place a paper on the copy area and press to scan to computer. This is an easy set up. To email to a few more configuration steps. After the set up screens are initialized, a power reset must happen to engage the new settings. Emailing documents takes a bit of a set up. It is mostly making sure the network is configured correctly. Problem: Somewhere is a settings saving button. The printer was set up, then when turning off and on to initialize, all saved settings were lost. Overall Impression: The printer was a worthwhile addition to my computer. Setting up the System takes time. A few shut offs are needed to ensure the application was affected. At times, the customized set up was more cumbersome for beginners. It takes a number of times to get used to the Screen Menus and remembering where certain set ups and adjustments must happen. The written Operations Book could be more descriptive in the areas of configuration of network and procedural steps for using the network settings. The main function of printing and copying of the product was outstanding when compared to similar models. The quality of documents and picture printed in both color and black and white is fantastic. The copies are clear. The ink does not run. The ability to make two sided copies works with ease. The printer has never jammed. It is quieter than most printers. The multifaceted options the devise is capable of is amazing considering the somewhat small size of the Canon ImageClass, making it valuable in home offices or confined office cubicles. Overall, I was very satisfied with the printer. This printer quickly became a valuable and versatile tool for my home office. When the rest of the potential of the versatility of the printer is realized, the Canon Color ImageClass MF644Cdw will be powerful tool!

I bought this a year ago and the printer cartridges are easy to replace and the printer gives good instructions on how to do it. Setting up the printer is harder than most brands, as the software balks to be installed and I had to use their support to get it installed on one computer. It does print well, copy well, and fax well. The colors are nice too. The automatic cartridge refill feature if you go the Canon website works perfectly as well. The cartridges run low, and the printer orders for you a new cartridge before it runs out - for less than the price in the stores. That is a particularly nice feature. The issue others report is true as well. For example, while the wireless printing has worked all year with the laptop computers with no problems whatsoever, the one desktop printer connected with an USB cable the drivers seem to fail about once every 6 months. If you don't mind going to the website to reinstall the drivers then the printer is worth it. If this is going to drive you crazy, don't get it. However you won't beat the price for this multifunction color laser printer anywhere. I had bought an HP Color laser Pinter one month before this unit, but it did not even work out of the box so I returned it. This is better than HP for sure.

just trying to scan from compputer and its taking a long time to figure out, may be wasting more time than im saving

I scan and email legal documents daily. I'm embarrassed to send such poor quality documents that look very unprofessional.

Best overall small business printer with the holy grail: duplex scanning. Low-toner override, good Windows and Mac drivers.

I've had this printer for several years now and love it! I never have any issues. When my cable internet resets, I have to reconnect to it but that's normal for any wireless device when the IP changes. Fantastic printer/scanner. I use it every day for 200+ pages so it gets heavy use.

I've owned this printer for almost two years and while it prints nicely, it's HORRIBLE to keep updated. The drivers simply stop working, and the printer constantly shows "offline" even though it's plugged in directly to my computer. I have to download new drivers for it nearly every week, sucking hours of my time. Do not purchase this printer.

I've owned and used this printer combo for a year now and love it. The print quality is comparable to that of a large, office printer, and the scan quality is the same, as long as you adjust the scan setting to “high quality”. We use it as a home office / work from home printer, and I can really say that it has given us no trouble, and has outperformed our expectations. Would highly recommend!

Bought as an MF unit for me (professional working from home) and my wife (teacher) as we both print, scan and copy regularly. Setting up this device to print and scan is AWFUL. I have had so much trouble getting it to actually work via WiFi--and using USB cable completely defeats the purpose of the wireless networking capabilities. Once we were able to set up to print (still cannot get it to scan), the quality is impressive.

so much for "saving the planet" what a waste! I hate hate hate this product. RIP OFF
