Canon MF3200 Printer Review

At about the same footprint of a standalone printer, the Canon imageCLASS MF3200 multifunction laser printer can handle the full range of printing, scanning, copying, and faxing. Its upfront price is very affordable, and it still offers speeds of up to 21 pages per minute, which is impressive for the price. Canon MF3200 printer toner is a bit expensive, but third-party options are available.

The footprint of the machine is only 17.7x18.2 inches, with a height of 14.5 inches. With the single imageCLASS MF3200 toner supply installed, the unit still only weighs 26.4 pounds, which makes it easy even for a single user to set up. Connection options are limited to only a single USB port, so it is designed for personal use, though it could function as a shared copier or fax machine in the right setting.

The single paper tray holds up to 250 sheets, which is pretty solid considering the machine's compact size. Faxing supports a Super G3 transmission speed of 33.6 Kbps that makes for fast transfers of around 3 seconds per page. The scanner has an optical resolution of 600 dpi and an interpolated resolution of 9600 dpi that gives excellent results for photos and graphics.

Unlike larger machines with equally large toners, the Canon MF3200 toner cartridges have modest yields of 2,500 pages each. This would be expensive with OEM supplies, but remanufactured imageCLASS MF3200 toner cartridges are much more affordable, which helps keep the cost per page low.

Even with impressive output quality and fairly solid print speeds, the MF3200 should definitely be relegated to personal use. With a lack of networking options, it doesn't offer an easy sharing strategy, but its affordable Canon MF3200 toner supplies make it very appealing for the individual who needs printing, scanning, copying, and faxing in a single device.
