The scanning software doesn't allow you to name your image after you scan it.

I bought this to also scan and I hav e a large photo scanning project ahead. There are at least a dozen different light patterns and that can be confusing because you have to count how many times a light blinks (and which combination of 4 lights are blinking) and then look it up in the manual. It has a system of blinking lights to indicate problems with the ink, paper, etc.

It doesn't come with a usb cord to connect the printer to your computer. It's fairly easy to set up if none of the lights start blinking.Īccording to the instructions it was supposed to come with a set-up CD for the software, but it doesn't so you have to find the installation software online and download it. The pros are it is cheap and it prints well. No sure I'd have bought this if I had known then what I know now HIGHLY RECOMMEND for a relaxing printer installation! Read full review The initial alignment printing was slow as they all are - but I was delighted to see that all other things print speedily. I tremulously installed the printer cartridges and learned where to put the pap er - and then started printing things! The online manual is extensive and easy to navigate. I plugged in the printer to the electric socket, and I connected the plugged in printer USB cable to my laptop, in preparation for searching for the driver online to install - when lo and behold it automatically installed the driver and the printer was ready to go in under a minute. and was unsure how smoothly the driver install would go, though I'd read reviews saying it would go well. I was daunted when faced with setting up my new PIXMA MG 2500, but had to do it for a variety of documents production in my home office. I am the kind of person who does not enjoy equipment setup, cabling, technical manuals, etc. Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-ownedĪn excellent, low profile printer. This is not for a busy office, but makes a fine machine for light use at home. Am still on original ink cartridges, which came with the printer. I actually like it so well I have bought 2 more of the same printer for $39 each at a local big box store.

Frankly, that is a bit of disappointment. A second feature that it seems to lack is: it cannot enlarge or reduce copy. I do like that you can select to copy in Black or in Color. I do not find that a problem for the little amount of home copying that I do. If you want several, you have to print each one individually. I did discover that it prints only one copy at a time. My daughter has run a few color photos on copy paper. (The disk came broken, but I couldn't use it anyway.) So far, I have just printed documents in B + W. I have not set this up with my computer yet.
