Q: QuestionDOES THIS PRINTER INCORPORATE DUPLEX PRINTING?

Asked 8 years ago by BIGramfan.

• A:Answer No. I was concerned about that and I tried the Epson 3600. But the Epson has such a clumsy interface that I took it back and bought the Canon G3200. Love this printer and the "no duplex" has not been a problem or annoyance. Straight through paper path for all weights including card stock. Easy to manually flip over the paper to continue printing on other side.

Q: QuestionCan you turn it on from your computer? Thanks!

Asked 7 years ago by Chloe.

• A:Answer Yes, it can be auto-on and it also shuts itself off too (you can set the time, as short as 15 minutes and as long as an hour or stays on forever.) I installed mine at first via USB and switched to wireless for others to use (at home). It wakes up automatically when a page is sent to it.

Q: Questionwell it reduce and enlargen

Asked 8 years ago by historibuf.

• A:Answer If you mean when you're scanning can you reduce or enlarge a document or photo? Not positive but I never do that on the scanner. I usually scan the document at 100% and do any enlarging or reduction, i.e., sizing in Photoshop Elements (other photo programs also work. I love this printer after trying the Epson 3600. The software interface to the printer from the computer is excellent vs. the Epson (no photo printing software). The ink use is marvelous. Glad to be rid of ink tanks. You may want to check the manual for this printer and read the scanning section. The Canon does nearly all functions on your computer, except straight photocopying, and I like that Epson requires having settings on the computer AND on the machine itself and they have to match. Cumbersome and a two-step process. P. S. I don't work for Canon and they're not paying me for this answer or review. I'm simply a long time Canon user that loves this excellent extension of their inkjet line. Here's the link to a pdf of their manual: https://allmanualpdf.com/2017/07/28/canon-pixma-g3200-user-manual-pdf/

Q: QuestionWhy isn't there a yellow ink tank? I'm looking at Canon Pixma printers without ink cartridges.

Asked 8 years ago by daisygarden.

• A:Answer There are the standard colors - black, cyan, magenta and yellow. They just look darker in the ink tanks. The print quality is very good for an ink jet printer.

Q: QuestionDoes the ink dry out quickly, we are light users of printers and our epson always runs “ low on ink”. Will this be the same problem?

Asked 10 months ago by Catsax.

• A:Answer No, you will not have the low-on-ink problem, because this printer has "Supertank" capacity. I also had an Epson that constantly needed a cartridge change. Mine had five color cartridges, plus black, at $15.00 per cartridge. I tried cheap, off-brand carts, but they never worked well. This printer is very inexpensive, and works very well. However, ANY inkjet printer should be used about once a week so that the ink does not dry out in the print heads. Just print one picture that has shades of red, yellow, and blue. The next time your Epson runs low on ink in several cartridges, replace it with this printer, EVEN THOUGH the Epson is still working. In fact, purchase this printer ahead of time to keep it on hand for when that happens. The money you save on cartridges will more than make up for the cost of this printer.
