beautiful and fast...
By William L. Devanney
Are you shocked by the price of this printer? I was, and in fact was sceptical enough to go to the Canon technical website to find out "what's the catch?". I found there was no catch. This printer uses the same X25 toner cartridge, and has the same output specs, as the highly-ranked Canon MF5550 (see the review in PC Magazine, August 2004). I surmised the two printers share the same "engine". So I bought the MF3110, despite the suspiciously low price. And now I'm very happy -- this is the real McCoy! The print quality matches any laser printer you've ever used, and the machine is FAST -- earlier today I queued up a 36 page print job (a PDF of a US Patent) and it was done by the time I had made a cup of tea in the microwave.The scanner and copier functions work fine. The scanner is 1200x2400 optical, 9600x9600 interpolated (who needs 9600 DPI??!!), with 48-bit color depth.The negatives? The bundled OmniPage OCR software is a stripped down version. It works, but the snazziest features (like direct reading of PDF files) are disabled, because OmniPage wants you to upgrade to their $150 "pro" version. Still, for something like extracting text from a newspaper clipping or magazine page, the included version works fine.Double-sided printing is do-able, but it takes some care if you want to print a lot of pages. First you print the even pages, then you reload them into the paper cassette with a certain orientation. The key is to make the stack neat otherwise the printer complains (it didn't jam or skip pages, but a warning message comes up on the LCD). If you have only a few pages to print double-sided, the easiest way is to feed the 2nd round through the single-page feeder slot (which also prints envelopes).This is a really nice multi-function printer if you like super-crisp text, or if you need to print dozens of pages at one go & don't want to wait forever. And of course it's nice to use as a stand-alone copier even if the computer is turned off.

5 star is for perfect - and nothing is !

I read and researched ALL sorts of laser printers (didnt include Canon) and then went into officedepot to buy a Brother. and then saw this pretty looking Canon. i looked and looked again and then again. and did not find a catch either. A very well designed printer that looks good and performs beautifully. It uses the X25 cartridge (combo) unit which is rated for about 2500 pages and costs about 50 dollars, giving a per page cost of 2 cents - pretty good i'd say. Setup was pretty easy - no complicated hoops to jump through. And once the software is setup, you just sit back and enjoy ! Very short warm-up time (about 3-5 seconds i'd say). And although it makes as much noise as any other laser printer i've seen, print speed is pretty fast. The print quality is very good, very sharp and crisp prints - THE reason i wanted a laser printer.Printer paper output tray is located in the middle of the body making it easy to retrieve printed copies. A nice touch is the fact that the lid can be lifted up vertically (from the hinges) about 3-4 inches, so you could copy a page from a book if you wanted. Oh and its a stand-alone copier too - you dont need to boot the computer up for this.Scanning speed and resolution are good although not being a heavy user of the scanning function in general, i cant comment much on that feature.Additional bonus, includes a USB cable (USB 2.0) - not a feature most other printers provide.Something to be aware of -> the numeric keypad might give you a wrong impression that fax is built-in too - its NOT. So if you do a lot of faxing, look at someother printer (although i like it so much, i would continue to use my computer to send and receive faxes)

The Canon ImageCLASS MF3110 Laser Multifunction printer proudly stands a-top our desk, looking right at us, smiling, and with its tongue sticking out. Once you purchase one and set it up, you will understand what I mean (Just look right at it). This laser printer is ready for action the moment you set it up. The warmup time is outstanding (3 - 5 seconds max). I do not wait for it; it waits for me. The text is sharp and crisp on this blue and white monster. Compared to its competition of quality, the MF3110 is compact in size. Although you may find some that are smaller, you will not get the same performance in quality. This monster gives you 21PPM, 1200X600 DPI print, 1200x2400 DPI scan, and it lifts up from the hinges making it easier to copy pages from a book all for a reasonable price. To top it all off, this printer actually comes with a USB Cable. There are many other less important features that I enjoy, however I will conclude.In conclusion, I had no complaints about the Canon ImageCLASS MF3110.My suggestion: Do your research before buying any printer. Read reviews from multiple sites and remember that everyones' experience is different. Be open enough to realize that we live in a world of flesh (Humans) and even the manufactures make mistakes. For this reason it is extremely important to purchase a replacement plan that has a no lemon policy (i.e. breaks three times, and you get a replacement). Enjoy! /s/- Paul E. Davis
