Canon Pixma MX340

The Canon Pixma MX340 color inkjet multifunction printer (with print, scan, copy, and fax capabilities) looks like a bargain ($100 as of June 1, 2010) until you factor in its pricey inks. If you don't print much, however, this machine offers just enough of everything else to enable a small or home office to get by. It's definitely a better deal than the HP Officejet 4500 Wireless, which has similar strengths and a few more weaknesses. The Pixma MX340's two standout features are Wi-Fi connectivity, which requires a temporary USB connection during setup but is otherwise painless; and a 30-sheet automatic document feeder. The configuration also includes a letter-size flatbed scanner; a vertical, 100-sheet, rear input slot; and a front, foldout, 50-sheet output tray. The front control panel's buttons for primary functions are clearly labeled. You use two arrow buttons to navigate menu items on the one-line, monochrome LCD. We had a hard time reading the LCD in dim lighting conditions, and the viewing angle is rather narrow. A backlight would have helped immensely. If you're looking for a color LCD, media card readers, or ethernet, check out the $150 Canon Pixma MX350, which is otherwise similar.

Canon Pixma MX340

Although the Canon Pixma MX340 Wireless Office All-in-One Printer ($99.99 direct) is limited in some ways - with a low paper capacity, no Ethernet connector, and relatively slow speed - it offers far more than you would probably expect for the price. The limitations make it most appropriate for a home office for light-duty printing, while the capabilities make it an impressively good choice for that role. It can also fit nicely in the dual role of home and home office printer, thanks to high-quality photo output and WiFi support that makes it easy to share. The MX340 earns the right to add Office to its name with a combination of better-than-par text quality for an inkjet and a useful set of office-centric features. In addition to printing, scanning, and copying, it can both fax from a PC and work as a standalone fax machine, and its 30-page automatic document feeder (ADF) makes it easy to scan, fax, and copy multipage documents as well as scan legal-size pages, which are too big to fit on the flatbed. The printer can also scan to (but not print from) a USB memory key, which can be a welcome convenience. One other potentially useful touch is that you can set it to save faxes to memory, and then manually move the faxes to a USB key as PDF files to read on screen before you decide whether to print them.
