Canon all in one printers are popular in digital households because of the multifunction abilities of these inkjet printer devices. These can not only print, but also double as a fax, copier and photo printer. The Canon Pixma printer line of products like this MX310 series has better specs for printer color photos than normal office inkjet printers. This model is definitely made for stationary use as in a home office and not a portable printer in design. However, the paper trays and loaders all fold in to save space if you need to transport the device. The Canon printer cartridges are the Canon PG-40 for black and PG-41 for color. The drivers are usually recognized automatically with the latest PC and MAC OSX operating systems. But, like other printers, software cd, drivers and support information is included with the unit. On the back, there's the phone / fax lines, usb input as well as the AC power adapter cord input. This was used in a network with both MAC and Windows computers / laptops. It was hooked up to a wireless access point and made into a nice Canon wireless printer setup for both operating systems via USB to the WAP (Apple Airport Extreme). When it comes to reliable printers, this Canon printer was one of the best with little downtime and sent / received faxes without problems. Like any other printer, the printer ink cartridges refills are expensive and run out fast depending on how much you print. But, if you're looking for at different, cost-effective Canon all in one printers, consider a Canon Pixma printer for its photo printing abilities as well as copier, fax and printing.
