Canon ImageCLASS MF424dw - multifunction printer - B/W is rated4.25 out of5 by8.
Rated 5 out of 5 byGlendon Place from GoodGreat for simple B&W. Prints fast. Still learning the equipment and various features. Disappointed that it did not come with a through User's Guide. The Quick Setup/Quick Operation Guide is not very helpful. Very generic and not much details.

Rated 5 out of 5 byMikeyM from Great printer, user friendly, and well madeSTORAGE: I received this product in exchange for my unbiased opinion. The product is larger than I expected but I made room for it in my home office. It is a heavy printer so I would suggest a strong table or desk to put it on. I needed help from another person to get it out of the box due to its heavy weight.ASSEMBLY: The printer instructions included in the box, made for very easy setup. They walk you through step by step and a teenager could even easily set up the printer. Very user friendly instructions.STABILITY: The printer is very sturdy and made well. Due to its heavy weight, I`d suggest planning where one would set it up before taking out of the box. Not an item you want to move from place to place frequently. PROBLEMS: I experience no problem with the printer after testing it for 10 days.PRICE: The price point, is what I would expect for an office printer of this size and durability. I`ve seen other printers that are very small and flimsy, but with the Canon MF424DW you have a strong quality product and the higher price point is understandable.

Rated 5 out of 5 bynitekchris from great b/w printerAfter the product arrived i had it un-boxed and set up within 15 minutes. Very easy and straight forward. i was however a little disappointed that it could only be set up wired or wireless. But setting up wired caused no issues with other computers finding and installing it.It worked great from the very first print. And talk about fast, 10x faster then my old printer. I just wish it had color printing as well. My biggest complaint comes from needing to fax a 7 double sided page document. Don't get me wrong, this printer prints out double sided pages faster then most can print single sided. But try to find info on how to fax a double sided doc....no where to be found. i spent a good hour searching before i just started clicking in the menu and found one property for dbl sided under the fax settings changed it to yes and it worked. was just very frustrated i couldn't find any help for it.Overall i give it a 9 out of 10 and would highly recommend it as a B/W printing solution for small businesses.

Rated 5 out of 5 byDavidF from Great All In OneI received this product in exchange for my unbiased opinion.This All in One came packaged really well and had clear assembly instructions. You just have to be careful to read the instructions as there are two different ways to install the printer, depending on if you`re using wifi(wireless) or usb(wired).The software installs pretty easily, though most people will have to download it, as it came on a cd.I will say that this thing is HUGE....make sure you take time to pick a place, as it is heavy to move. It needs space around it as well(4 inches).It scans quickly and fairly well. It has several features to choose from when scanning.Printing it does FAST....Fax...well I don`t have a landline, so I can`t speak on that.I would say that they should make it a bit smaller and lighter if possible and add color printing...who doesn`t want color printing in 2018??? However, compared to other laser all in ones I`ve used this is just as good and faster when printing.Overall this is a great all in one. I would recommend it.

Rated 5 out of 5 byBillM from Fast and EfficientProduct:Canon imageCLASS MF424dwPackaging:I received this product in exchange for my unbiased opinion. The printer comes packaged in an innovative large box with built-in side handles for easy lifting and carrying. The box is thick and sturdy. It is more than suitable for shipping. The printer is tightly packed and protected.Unboxing:Removing the printer from the box is an easy task with step-by-step instructions printed on a flap of the package. The outer box slides up and off of an inner box by utilizing handles on two flaps of the box. Although it may not be intuitive at first you will realize how ingenious it is once you have done it. (Note: the outer box is bottomless which is why this may not be intuitive when you begin.) Once the outer box is removed you can then easily begin removing all of the packaging that protects the printer. Very simple.Setup:Once you have removed all of the tape and foam protection, the printer is ready for setup. Load the printer with paper and install the power cord. Plug it in and power it on. This is an easy process and is outlined completely in the user guide.Configuration:This printer is good to go out of the box for those not interested in customizations and feature selection. But it is also loaded with options, features, and customizations for those that need a dynamic workhorse. I have plenty experience with printers and found these features to be useful and welcomed. Those who are not experienced with multifunctioned laser printers with such options may find this product somewhat intimidating. The user guide and online support do not elaborate enough on these features for a novice user. If you are a novice you will neeed to do some research.Connection:Wireless, Ethernet, and USB. I've used all three and each one works well. My main setup is on a wireless network. The connection is strong and stable. I have experienced no connectivity issues. This product is suited for a networked environment and I suggest you use it as such. If your intentions are to only use this device connected to only one computer via a usb port then this printer is overkill for you.CompatibilityMy environment is comprised of a wide variety of devices and users. We have Windows laptops and desktops, Apple desktops and laptops, iPhones, iPads, and Android smartphones. All of these devices have worked well with this printer. Each one was able to locate and identify the printer with no issues.PrintI have printed envelopes, labels, cardstock paper, letter sized and legal sized paper. I have not experienced jamming or misprints. I many times use the dual sided printed option which saves paper and is fast. The print is crisp and bright. I would be comfortable presenting professional documents in any setting produced on this device.ScanThe scan clarity is very good. The ability to zoom, cut, crop and pan scans is a nice feature. Scanning from the physical printer or from a computer is easy. The scan rate is quite fast. It is perfect for scanning invoices and receipts. The flatbed apparatus is made in such a way that it is easy to make scan directly from the pages of books if necessary.CopyThis device makes for an excellent copy machine. Copies are crisp and are made very fast.AutoFeedI have been pleased with this feature. The feeder is smooth and recognizes documents instantly. The documents stay straight and feed one at a time up to a 50 sheet stack. It will also scan both sides of a document in a single pass which makes it one of my favorite features.FaxI do not have a need to fax as much as I did in years past but still have the need. The fax features of this device have been flawless. I have faxed from my desktop and from the physical unit itself. The ability to customize fax documents, save, sort, or email them outstanding. Receiving fax documents via a landline has functioned as needed.Paper Tray CartridgeThe paper tray is durable and easy to load. I like the fact that it holds up to 250 sheets. It also adjusts to legal sized paper which is a necessity for me.Touch Screen DisplayThe screen is big and clear. It has a finish that practically eliminates all glare. It is angle adjustable. The touch feature is responsive. I have customized the apps displayed on the screen with my laptop to show only those apps we need.AdministrationThe printer can be locked down to only users you approve. You can also lock the settings and assign someone to manage those settings. These administration features are not intuitive and are not detailed very well in the user guide nor are they online.AestheticsIt is a fine looking piece of equipment. Professional, well built and durable. The design is efficient. No wasted space or parts. It has a smaller footprint than many other similarly featured multifunction laser printer.ProsFast, double sided printing, Low maintenance, dependable, flatbed and autofeed (single scan and duplexing) scanning and copying, fax, mobile friendly, wi-fi and ethernet, large paper tray, big touch screen, extensive customizations.ConsAdvanced features are not intuitive, website support for those advanced features is not very good, some may need to educate themselves about PCL, UFR II, and PS protocols and drivers, can be needlessly intimating to novice users.OverallVery fast laser printer with quality print that makes great documents, copies, and scans. Well built and durable workhorse. Easy to unbox and physically setup. It has a distinctive professional look to it and is pleasing to the eye.

Rated 5 out of 5 bySken52 from Great So FarPurchased as early Christmas gift for daughter, son-in-law and grandsons. They love it so far, especially the print from mobile device feature. Handles everything they want it to do including all school work for my grandsons from grade school to high school.

Rated 5 out of 5 bylafango from Great printer at a great priceI owned a Canon multi-functional printer before and I liked it. Unfortunately I had to give it away when I moved to East coast. This one is even better, faster and wireless!

Rated 5 out of 5 byJondyriver from Fine Printer, Worthy of Canon NameI received this product in exchange for my unbiased opinion.The image class MF424dw is a workhorse printer which builds upon previous solid Canon laser printers with a number of improvements. I had an older model for many years (the MF4690and this is a fine upgrade.Excellent speed and print quality. Mostly easy to use instructions. Very good scanning capabilities, a marked improvement from my previous model.I am not particularly tech savvy but I was able to make the wireless connection and it worked out fine.It is a bit on the bulky side so if you are just a home office this may be too big. Very good for my small business needs, however.Should be a good long-term value when you factor in toner costs over time.Overall, a fine machine, worthy of the Canon name.

Rated 5 out of 5 byFeras Akar from Good printerI received this product in exchange for my unbiased opinion, the printer was fairly easy to set up. It didn`t take much time at all. The functions of the spinner are pretty cool, scanning faxing copying all work well. The quality of it seems pretty good. It`s not noisy and seems to be pretty efficient for the time that I have been using it. I definitely recommend buying this product. The wireless connectivity is an awesome feature. I literally print from my phone
