Print good, scan bad

The printer component of this unit worked fine, but I had a lot of problems with the scanner. It wouldn't accept paper that was within its "weight" parameters, which was very frustrating. And it didn't recognize a lot of different kinds of ink, so when I'm trying to scan a few hundred signed documents and almost half of them don't scan properly and I end up having to use a scanning app on my phone, it sort of defeats the purpose of having this scanner :-/

If you don't need to scan from the printer...nor be connected via wifi...and ONLY need to connect via USB (maybe, if you're lucky) if print then this is a good printer for you. Otherwise, it's trash!!!
There are simply no instructions, nor directions, whatsoever to get your printer to scan to the computer from the scanner itself. Nor is there an icon available to scan using your computer. For us, every time it's used, we have to troubleshoot to print and always, but always comes up with an error message. We've always had Epson in the past and decided to try this unit due to the reviews...big mistake!!! Save yourself some headaches and frustration...don't buy!
The pro's: It's lightweight

This product is ok if you do not need to use a printer often. Would not recommend it even for a small business. This is truly a printer/fax/scanner for the home.

Summary: A great all around office printer. There are a few quirks but overall it works well and produces great printouts.I am very happy with this printer overall.
Pros:
-Good looking printer
-Multiple inks for a wide combination of color
-Lots of connectivity options
-Amazing quality prints
Cons:
-Small ink cartridges
-Small paper tray
-Screen has to be completely flipped open to print
-Small “tray arm” for printed papers to rest on
Unboxing: THere is not much to be found in the box other than the printer, some “starter” ink cartridges (limited amount of ink inside), documentation and cables.
Setup: Setup is similar to any other printer in that you have to remove lots of plastic, install ink cartridges, setup the printer for your network via USB, ethernet or wifi and you are gtg. It was instantly detected on my Mac Mini and my Windows 11 laptop with no issues. You can also install a canon app to allow printing and scanning services to be better integrated with your phone or tablet.
Use: Photos look great when printed. The PPM is rather low but the quality of prints is high as a result. You are able to feed paper via the tray (rather limited capacity), and a rear feeder. There is also an ADF on the top for scanning, fax and copying. If printed at the highest quality, photos look almost pro quality and I did not see any noticeable dithering unless I looked very closely.
When printing I got a few errors, initially saying to open the front panel to print. I lifted it but it continued to give the error. Come to find out, it has to be fully 90 degrees open to operate. I found this kind of weird since it means the screen is 90 degrees and might change how you handle the interface. A little motor would have been nice to open and close the panel so you don't have to do this manually each time. The paper collection tray arm is very dinky as well and papers might slip off after printing if you have a large stack.

A little difficult to understand some aspects of setup and operation. Could have been worse if I didn't have some background with desktop printers already.
