The Canon PIXMA MG3500 is a very affordable all-in-one printer,scanner,copier that exceeds expectations for the price.The MG3500 is made of all hard plastic materials that are put together nicely and should be durable enough to leave in one spot and never move. While Canon PIXMA MG3500 the footprint is moderately small compared to some larger and more expensive all-in-ones this printer to be portable. All the major features you'll want are here, though, including WiFi and AirPrint connections, automatic duplex printing, scanning, and black & white and color copying.
The only major omission is a telephone jack for faxing. Connections and buttons are minimal.Canon PIXMA MG3500 There are power, B&W and Color copy, Stop, standard or 4"x6" paper size selection, and WiFi on/off buttons on the top with a USB input and power cord input on the back. The paper loading and output tray on are the front, and the door that houses both trays can be closed up when not in use to save on space.
Installation Canon PIXMA MG3500 is pretty easy whether you use the WiFi or USB set-up. There is included CD in the box with software and drivers, but it's already outdated. going to the Canon website and searching for the MG3500 on there. You'll find plenty of options to download the up-to-date versions of the software and drivers. and installing the software (takes about 5 minutes) on a 64-bit Windows 7 computer. From there you can choose WiFi or USB install. The Wizard guides you through both and it's simple. Since this is a budget all-in-one, Canon PIXMA MG3500 cut corners in a few places, and one of them is that there is no USB cable included in the box. and had to find a USB A to USB B cable in order to test the non-WiFi installation.
The Canon PIXMA MG3500 of this all-in-one is average, but for the price, that's good.and no problem recommending this unit to print typical school and work documents that have a mix of text and color figures. Printing a black and white text document took 15-20 seconds. If the document had small color figures it took just under a minute. Photo printing is not exciting. I tried a couple 4"x6" prints on glossy paper and they get the job done when a quick print is needed, but the quality is understandably less than going to a camera or even local drug store.
Canon PIXMA MG3500 If you install the My Printer utility in the software package and then select Printer Settings, you have the ability to choose landscape or portrait orientation, single sided, duplex, borderless, grayscale, multiple pages on one page, booklet printing, high-standard-draft-custom quality, plain paper or 6 different types of photo paper-- including glossy or matte,Canon PIXMA MG3500 along with 6 or 7 different types of maintenance settings to clean and align print heads and rollers.
There Canon PIXMA MG3500 is only a black ink cartridge and a single color cartridge.Additionally, Canon annoyingly sells a regular and an XL version of the ink cartridges for this printer (admittedly, pretty much every printer company does this). Included in the box are the regular versions. Why even Canon PIXMA MG3500 with a regular version? Just pack in the XL version and only sell the XL version in stores. Annoying money grab model. As you can imagine, only having a single color cartridge understandably, also limits the quality of the photo prints because you can't load in photo quality inks.and Canon PIXMA MG3500 This rather loud, especially in a quiet office environment.
