When Canon uses the word photo in an MFP's name, as with the Canon Pixma MP560 Wireless Photo All-In-One ($149.99 direct), it's a strong hint that the printer it aimed primarily at home use. For the MP560, that translates to a printer with great-looking photo output and few office-centric features. On the other hand, the printer also offers better-than-par text quality and paper handling, which is enough to make it a reasonable choice for light-duty home-office use too. Add in WiFi for easy sharing, and it's even a good choice for the dual role of home and home-office MFP, with the emphasis on home use. The MP560 can print, scan, and copy, and it can scan to e-mail by way of your PC, launching an e-mail message and adding the scanned document as an attachment. It can also scan directly to a USB key, which is a useful convenience. It lacks an automatic document feeder, Ethernet connector, and fax modem - all important features for office use - but it includes two 150-sheet paper trays and a duplexer for printing on both sides of a page. The two trays are particularly useful in a printer serving for both home and home office.
The days of dropping 300 bones on an all-in-one printer are fading away, while $150 devices like the Canon Pixma MP560 are quickly taking their place on retail shelves. The MP560 looks great and offers useful features like an auto-document feeder and a bright two-inch LCD display, but it can't keep up with other multifunction printers like the Epson WorkForce 310 and Lexmark's Impact S305. Canon technically gives you more features, but we suspect that the sub-$150 market is more invested in print quality and speed. That leads us to recommend the Lexmark Impact S305 instead, which gives you higher quality pictures and prints documents in half the time for $50 less than the Canon Pixma MP560. Design and Features You'll immediately notice that the Canon Pixma MP560 is similar in size, shape, and appearance to Canon printers of the past, most notably the Pixma MP560. It has the familiar glossy black and matte silver finish and sits unassumingly in your workspace at just 18 inches wide, 14.5 inches deep, and 6 inches tall. We should note that you have to extend the outbound paper tray in order to use the printer, which will add about four inches to the width.
