Cons: It's slow and flimsy. For some strange reason, the phone's built in speaker broadcasts parts of the incoming call aloud. After 18months the number 9 on the keypad has packed it in.
Overall: I wish we'd never bought this phone/fax. Canon is supposed to be a quality brand. This is a very poor showing for them. I do not recommend it.
Pros: The concept is good but it is let down by the reliability
Cons: After about 18 months the speaker failed for something like 10 days then came back to life. Now 8 months later it has failed again and the local repairer is unable to get any parts. So much for being able to play messages etc
Overall: The most unreliable fax that I have ever encountered. For a piece of business equipment the quality of the parts and construction needs much improvement.
Overall: Generally, the printer is good. It's printing so fast, so people like it. It's saving more energy and minimum trouble for my computer. But the printer is bigger than the others (in the same level). It made some place in my desk!
Pros: Stylish faxing, with solid blue casing. It employs voice recognition capabilities, plus Canon's UHQ (Ultra High Quality) image processing technology that provides levels of gray prints (from the lightest up to black). The 120-page high memory will help you recall what's to fax, or to print. You could scan in advance all outgoing faxes (which places them into the memory), enabling you to save much on labor.
Cons: Oh, let's see. But it would be great if there's a wireless handset.
Overall: This fax au' printer employs Canon's Bubble Jet quality printing. The dynamic thing about this is being able to send out a fax is as simple as pushing one button and saying their name.
