| I dont usually review stuff on amazon, but I'm going to pause for a minute and give this baby its due praise. I bought this a few months ago to replace an inkjet MFP that simply was not up to the job of being a cost efficient, fast, reliable MFP for my legal research projects (can involve printing several 25-50 page double sided print jobs). This thing simply put, works. And thats saying something b/c I have a household that uses both Mac and Windows machines and both connect to it flawlessly over the network and print with blazing fast speed, while saving paper by printing double sided. On top of that the scanner functions work over the network (only on the windows machine as of today, but canon promises me there will be a software update to correct this soon). Finally the toner use is fairly average as I get probably 2500 text pages per toner cartridge, and I will note that I have experimented with the generics offered by 3rd party companies on amazon and it works perfectly still and considerably cheaper ($70 vs. $25 for the generic). Over all I highly recommend this printer if you need a fast laser MFP that works over the network and with a mixed Mac and Windows environment. |
Fast printer, scanning works - after call to tech support

This printer replaces a 4 year old Brother MFC that worked great but suddently died (and needs $150 to fix it). I got this printer for $199 from a local computer super store. I too had initial problems with scanning and after calling tech support (who are fantastic, quick to answer the phone, and speak English), I got it running on my network and installed the scanning software.
Other reviewers had problems w/scanning. I did too at first but after a call to tech support, it works fine. The problem with the scanning was due to the install CD only installing the driver but not the included OmniPage software. To get to that, you have to manually view the contents of the CD and go to the directory OmniPage and install it yourself (setup.exe). The included scanning software is ScanSoft OmniPage SE 4.2.
My initial network setup resulted in intermittent printing (it'd work for a few days then stop) and so the tech guy had me manually enter the IP address, subnet mask and disable DHCP.
It all works great now, it's fast printer and much more energy efficient than my other one. It's a great buy for the money - so much better than inkjets (and those $$ cartridges that only print well the first few times). |
Best Printer EVER Owned! = Trust Canon

I had a brutal experience with Lexmark for two years now (see Lexmark X5470 to read up more on it), and this printer just made up for all those two years of torture.
I browsed the future shop site and this was the first printer I saw. Once I saw it I fell in love with the over all layout and design. Every thing I read up on this printer was just amazing, every thing I wanted from a printer.
The setup at first seems quite overwhelming, because there are six books two of which are only essential since the others are just reprints of the same manuals in different languages. The setup was quite easy for me to do because I'm one to always follow the instructions and do what instructions say word for word.
The only issue for me was the faxing feature. Every time a person called my home I kept hearing the fax and to fix that you have to go deep into the settings to change it. After that was fixed I honestly had no problem with this printer. It copies and prints your documents with in a second and the duplex printing couldn't have made it easier on me. My previous Lexmark printers always required me to flip the paper onto the other side once a side had completed printing. This some times got confusing because I didn't always remember which direction the printer prints the page and some times I'd have an upside down print out. This printer doesn't require you to move a muscle as it sucks the paper up on it's own and prints the second side. I remember I was in complete shock when I saw that because I had no idea that the printer was that advanced. It saved me lots of time and paper as well and allowed me to get what I wanted done with in seconds with out me double and triple checking simple things as I had to previously do with my lexmark.
Now for the scanning feature, for the first time I tried it two days back and I would say that it isn't one of the best features. This is because it can be quite confusing. When you scan a document, it requires you to complete some steps on the computer and it doesn't indicate any thing on the printer. Instead a small message appears on the PC and it's hidden behind any current windows that maybe opened. But it's nothing major, just requires a small amount of work.
As for the paper tray it's a real space saver due to it's 250 paper capacity.
This printer also has an energy saver mode, which it goes to when not in use, it's very convenient because the days of having to always turn on and off a printer are over. I can't tell you how many times I forgot to turn on my previous printers before printing. Now with the 4370dn all you have to do is press print on the computer. It's very quiet in printing and barely makes a noise which was the complete opposite when it came to the lexmark printers.
Another nice point about this printer is that, canon made it in such a way so none of the paper is visible and every thing is closed up so the printer looks very presentable. This printer also blends in well if you are an owner of a PC that has accessories which are black in color and is black it's self.
This printer also has a networking feature which may come in handy for small businesses or if you're in a home where two or three computers are hooked up. I personally don't use this feature because it's just for my computer so I can't really comment in that area.
Just be patient when it comes to reading the manual and starting the installation process because after that you will not regret getting this printer because it will do what a printer should do and more.
This was the best change I ever made and I highly recommend this product to every one! |
Great Printer - Fix for PC acknowledgement for Scanning

I use this for my home business & I have found it to be very good. I rate it strongly and bought it after I read other users reviews and concerns.
One item that comes up frequently in the reviews is the concern that scanning requires a second input from the computer to start a scan. Yes this is true but you can set in the Scanner & Cameras settings in the control Panel to default to using the MF Toolbox when scanning and it will automatically use the default scan settings created in the toolbox & save the scanned document to a designated file. Access this option as follows: Tool Panel -> Scanners and Cameras->Select MF4370->Properties->Events Tab->Change actions "Start this program" to MF Toolbox. Also you have to push the scan button twice for a USB connection -> for me not such a big concern.
I've put this machine through its paces in the last couple of weeks scanning 30-40 page documents of mixed size, large print jobs and it has worked flawlessly. I'm very happy with it.
Annoying is the premature toner low light, which I have been ignoring as the printer continues to print and copy without needing the cartridge replaced.
I highly recommend this product. |
How to save even more hard earned money

| I bought this printer for the favorable reviews and the Canon reputation, avoiding of course some other brands that perform in substandard fashion. Sorry that the MAC owners have so many problems with Canon products. You best look elsewhere for the best pricing though. Within two hours Amazom notified me the price had gone up two times after the item was entered in My Cart. I beat all Amazon delivered pricing by 18% at Pricegrabber.com. You may find a better price than I did. Money being tight these days check all your options as Amazon is not the only game around. |
