Canon PIXMA MG3150

With Canon's track record for producing inkjets with excellent print quality, it looks, theoretically at the very least, to be a deal.

Standing simply 152mm tall, the MG3150 has rather a reduced account layout. This, combined with a shiny black paint job, makes it a fairly attractive looking machine. Nonetheless, the main body of the printer is quite large at 449 by 304mm, and that's before you extend the input and outcome paper trays.

Sadly, the MG3150 does not have an appropriate screen.

There are additionally dedicated switches for duplicating and scanning, along with an option to make the thing being duplicated fit the web page.

The Tools switch, on the various other hand, allows you to execute easy arrangement procedures, such as cleansing the print head, activating and off the cordless connection and also publishing an alignment page.

In spite of the absence of a suitable screen, configuration is still very uncomplicated as the MG3150 is supplied with a large, detailed paper chart that overviews you via the whole procedure. The translation could be much better on the installment software program as way too much Japlish creeps in. During the software program installation you could prefer to hook the printer up to your computer system either directly by means of USB, or with your residence network making use of Wi-Fi.

The top of the printer is the home of a scanner, which has an optical resolution of 2,400 dpi.
