Canon - MAXIFY Megatank GX4020 Wireless All-In-One Supertank Inkjet Printer with Fax - White

It really does have the best pictures & documents!! I am a lover of making pictures & Very very Happy that I chose this Printer, & was able to buy it in person at Best Buy!!!! Can’t go wrong with what you are happiest with!! The whole process was very easy, & the young man that was working with me & what I wanted “by name of the product. He actually knew about the product and asked me if I really needed that much of a printer. And he explained why he asked me, He just wanted to make sure that I really needed everything involved (picture making, fax, copy, scan, all wirelessly, in this printer (if I didn’t need to, there were other styles that was cheaper, with the same Company & Product, just a less items on the other printers. I really appreciated that he DIDN’T try to Over-Sell me!!!! I told him that I had investigated them online and this was the only one that had everything that I wanted, He helped me to get it paid for. I was so happy with this purchase from an associate that knew how to listen, and, he helped me eagerly “without earning a commission!! He would’ve been worth the commission!!!! Good hunting (for whatever you actually want)!!

Easy to use, setting up was a pain in the rear end. I didn't know the machine needed a maintenance cartridge.

Randomly disappears from our home Wi-Fi network at home. Sometimes cycling the printer off/on restores availability. Other times cycling the network is required. Very annoying. After just over 2 weeks of use, foam on scanned lid is falling off. Not an encouraging sign for durability. I scan frequently, wrestling the foam down with out moving the document is a pain.

For an All-In-One printer, I found the set-up of the Canon Maxify GX4020 to be surprisingly easy. The machine was packaged nicely in the box and was relatively easy to remove and get set up in my office. This printer comes with minimal paperwork; the manual (if needed) is found on the canon website via a QR code. The only thing missing in the setup instructions is a reminder to remove the orange packing tape. Once the tape is removed, you are ready to connect the power cord; press the ON button; and follow the instructions on the printer’s screen. The set-up process is pretty neat, as you are prompted and instructed on a screen that you can also interact with via touch inputs. Since the paperwork indicates that the ink will stain if spilled, I was somewhat concerned about adding the ink. My concerns were unfounded, as carefully removing the lids and adding the ink was quick and easy. The on-screen instructions only show adding one ink color at a time, but each of the 3 colors and the black are all added the same way. The way the bottles are made seems to keep the ink in until they are placed in the printer, meaning spilling them wasn’t a problem at all. There are three (yes, that’s three!) paper trays. The Cassette is for plain paper and the Rear Tray is for envelopes, photo paper, or legal paper. I haven’t used the Rear Flat Tray, but the manual indicates that it is for Paperboard. After adding the ink and the paper, I connected to my Wi-Fi using the printer’s touch screen. It was easy enough, but the password entry was reminiscent of old school texting (not fun!). With the Wi-Fi connected, I tried printing from an Apple computer, a PC, and my iPhone. Everything printed as it should. Also, there is the option for double-sided printing. On the printer screen, touch Settings, then Feed Settings to change the paper size and type for the printer trays. There is a setting labeled Detect Paper Setting Mismatch, which is automatically enabled, so I disabled it. Using the touch screen to adjust settings is simple, and so far I haven’t found the printer to be difficult to use. Next, I tried the scanner. On my Apple computer I opened the Printers & Scanners, clicked on the Canon GX4020, then I clicked Open Scanner and scanned from my computer. On the PC, I downloaded a Microsoft Scan app and used it to scan. On my iPhone, I downloaded the Canon PRINT app using the QR code on the printer’s screen. Both the flatbed and the feeder scanned nicely: I didn’t have any jams with the feeder, but for double-sided images, I had to scan side one and then flip the pages for side two. Copying is accomplished pretty similarly to scanning and was very easy to do. The print quality is phenomenal. I printed some sheets with text and some graphics, and everything was clear, crisp, and well defined with great colors. Next, I tried printing out some glossy photos using some photo paper I had. These really turned out awesome and looked pretty similar to photos you might get developed from the store. With the copying feature, I copied some color documents I had, and the results were vivid and sharp. Overall, there doesn’t seem to be any task that this printer can’t handle. I haven’t had a reason to use the fax feature yet, but so far this seems to be a great multifunction printer. I especially like that the Canon Maxify GX4020 can print 6,000 pages in black and white, or 14,000 pages in color (according to their website) on a new “full ink bottle set”. With the set-up ink included in the package, it can print 5,000 black and white pages, and 5,000 color pages. Canon also states that this printer has a 3 year or 80,000 sheet warranty, meaning it will likely last the average user for a very long time. Speaking of lasting a long time, the build quality on this printer seems very good. Everything feels high quality, and little details like being able to visually see the ink levels are nice touches that Canon implemented in its design. This printer will definitely become my “go-to” device anytime I need to print, scan, or copy documents and pictures. With its ease of use and wide range of functions, I cannot imagine I will need any other machine when it comes to tasks related to printing in my home office. While I haven’t needed to test it, the fact that it also can fax is an added bonus to anyone who might need to use that feature. Additionally, this printer will be able to print for a long while with the included ink, which is easy to refill when the time comes. If you’re looking for an All-In-One printer that can handle just about anything you throw at it, I wouldn’t hesitate to check out the Canon Maxify GX4020.

This Canon MAXIFY GX4020 all-in-one printer is meant to serve the purpose of fulfilling any printing job efficiently at a low cost of the printer. I'm super impressed by the quick setup and high-quality printing. Setup is like a breeze as the instruction is written on a single piece of paper that promotes me to scan the QR code and start from there. So I scanned the code, immediately was in setup mode, and followed instructions to fill the ink tank with the supplied ink bottles. Filling the ink is mess-free. Each color has a unique lip, so it goes into the ink tank; just flip each bottle upside down and let it fill the tank. Once all of the ink tanks were full, I was promoted to set up the wifi, which also can be done on the touch screen (2.7"), but I did everything through my iPhone, and within 20 minutes, the printer was up and running, what I liked about this printer. First, setup is super easy and does not require the user to be tech-savvy. Second, it has a reliable wifi connection, and my AirPrintng is fast, and the printing quality is super duper high. The third is an auto paper feeder feature for scanning and copying; it does not need to change the feeder source, which is fantastic. Note: the printer goes to sleep mode after a few minutes of inactivity for power saving, but this feature can be turned off from the printer setting, which makes sense because when I need to print anything, I don't have to go and wake it up by pressing the power button. I already have the Canon print app on my iPhone and iPad, so I just had to add the printer to the app and have access to check the ink level, print and scan from my phone, and print photos. This Canon MAXIFY GX4020 Wireless MegaTank All-in-One Color Printer, Copier, Scanner, and Fax is a must-have device. I'm super satisfied with its reliability and efficiency and ink cost saving. Besides, it comes with a single power cord and no power brick.
