Canon imageCLASS D1120 Laser Multifunction Copier (3478B001AA)

We used older Canon model for about 6 years and were very happy with its performance. Then the top scanner broke, so we looked for a newer model from Canon - it suits perfectly a small private practice. It scans, copies, faxes, interacts with networks, you name it... Now if only more retailers had ink supply, that would be the end of the problems. Yes, the ink is expensive, but check the load -number of copies it can produce! It's worth all of it. So if you're looking for a reliable multitasking office copier, don't go any further. I strongly recommend. Oh, by the way, we're still using the old machine - for printing jobs only.

Review by Tom C:

This machine was probably one of the easiest to set up that I have experienced. The software is intuitive, and it includes drivers for all current Windows platforms. It prints FAST- it lists a time for warm-up, but I have never experienced it- the first page comes out almost immediately after sending the job- whether machine is in standby or ready state.

The web-based User Interface is good, allowing you to set departmental log-ins if desired.

The only things I cannot comment on are 1. The tonor consumption- we are still on the starter tonor. 2. Scanning- we rarely have need for this feature, and we haven't tested it yet- I'm sure it will be more than adequate for our needs.

Review by Scott Walton:

I selected this copier/printer based on price, features and the Canon name. I felt like I got "Oh such a deal" at the time I bought mine in Sept.08. It was painless to set up: install the software; plug in the USB cable (not provided) when prompted and click and Voila! I set it up as a shared printer and it is now the main printer in our 4 PC home network.

- Its quick

- Makes clear, clean copies

- Not as quiet as some when printing but definitely not loud

- Top sheet feeder works well, even for multiple sheets

- Toner cartridge was a breeze to install

- Enters and exits its "sleep" mode flawlessly, even from another PC on the network

- Comes with a FULL TONER CARTRIDGE, not a starter. For those who do not know about this: many new printers, especially when being sold at LOW prices, are sold with a toner cartridge that's only good for a few hundred copies at most. Just enough to get you started on day one and to give you time to go buy a "real" toner cartridge. This is often how the mfg's will move more units, by selling them at super-low prices knowing they will make their profits on you returning for toner.

With the rebate I couldn't pass this up, although if I were paying full retail I would have chosen one that also scans to the PC. This one DOES NOT. It is only a printer and copier. I would also consider one that has a Print server and NIC built-in IF I could also connect directly for scanning.

I would recommend this printer.

Review by T. Lovell:

The main attraction to this copier is the net price considering the product abilities. The Canon D340 copier replaced a Canon PC920, which did a yeoman job througout its life. The new copier adds an auto-feed feature which is very handy, and works well. Other than that, the scanning area is miniscule compared to the PC920, making copying from a book next to impossible. The D340 weighs about one half of the PC920, which may reflect the quality and longevity of the new model.

The main problem is that with the $[...] Rebate that was offered, it was a good deal. The terms and conditions were a little stringent, and were carefully carried out, and to no avail. Although we documented the rebate terms, have photocopies of everything sent, Canon appears to have had no intention of sending the rebate. We received a form letter saying the rebate was not honored because "UPC lable is missing". This is not true, as we have photo copies of the original cut from the carton. We intend to pursue this through Amazon, the seller, and AMEX, the credit card company. In the meantime, when dealing with CANON, let the buyer beware.

Review by Thomas Bradshaw:

I bought the Canon ImageClass D320 for our church. The need was for approximately 60 double-sided sheets each Sunday. We'd use the printer to print text directly from MS Word, and the copier was needed for any miscellaneous items (i.e. hymns not found in the hymnal). The Canon ImageClass D320 appeared to be powerful yet economical enough for this setting.

Since we've used this printer/copier over a year now, here is some real-life feedback:

(1) YOU WILL NEED TO BUY A USB CABLE.

(2) Driver installation auto-detection was smooth on Windows 98. However, auto-detection on Windows 2000 is non-existent. I had to point it to the .INF files myself. Not for the novice.

(3) Don't print/copy more than 15 sheets at a time. The output tray will either spill-out or jam up if you do more. Initially, I expected the output to dump into a tray off to the side. Instead, it's designed to end up directly under the scanner engine (see dark area in photo above).

(4) The heat of the print engine vents into the output tray making the copies "curl" as you pull them out. Not good if you need double-sided copies.

(5) Along with the paper cassette, it comes with a manual-feed slot which is great for one-offs, but poor if you need to do a lot of double-sided printing. We leave ours off permanently.

(6) Double-sided printing - Because of (4), the paper is curled which makes it not stack well, nor feed well for the reverse printing. Either the paper feeds crookedly, or more than one sheet "grabs" at a time. Our solution is to physically hold down the sheets except for the one to be grabbed next. Not good if you have to deal with (3) at the same time.

(7) Copying - We had problems with crooked copies, no matter how straight on the glass you put the document. We had a service plan, so this was subsequently fixed.

In general, I feel the Canon is good for single-sided report printing and non-critical photocopying (like tax documents, etc.), but not up to true SOHO tasks. Take a good look around before you decide to purchase this item.

Review by Corey S. Hatch:

I must admit, the first review posted here on the D320 made me a little nervous. My experience is quite different, and after several months of ownership I am quite pleased.

I'll give a point by point rebuttle to the initial review, as that's the only point of reference (so far):

1) Yes, pick up a USB cable,

2) Printer driver installation on Win98 essentially required no user intervention. With WinXP however, I do seem to recall having to muck with it more, but I'm hazy on the details now,

3) I have printed scores of multi-page documents, many over 15 pages without any problems whatsoever. I've had no spills or jams of any kind,

4) I have not seen any "paper-curl" problems whatsoever,

5) I leave the paper cassette lid/manual-feed slot in place at all times as I have no problem with it. For doing many two-sided copies, it is indeed easier to place the copies back into the paper cassette. But that's my experience with any copier I've used.

6) Making two-sided copies is easy and as efficient as I expected. I've simply experienced no problems.

7) I've experienced no copier caused misalignments. If my copies have been crooked, it was because I set them on the glass improperly.

I am very happy with this unit. It copies as I expect it to, and prints just the same: quickly and without event. It's been able to properly print from all Windoze applications I've thrown at it, and ones many users may not even be using, such as Ghostscript, Acrobat, SecureCRT, PAF, and all image viewing software I've tried. And I've got several machines networked together (Win98 and WinXP) that can all print to the D320 fine using printer sharing.

BTW, the D320 comes with a full, 3500 page toner cartridge too, not a starter unit as with some printers/copiers.

Review by Kaiger:

If you're looking for a very basic copier to make the occasional black and white copy this unit is fine. It makes very clean looking black and white copies. If you can think of a question in the form of "Does this copier have _____" chances are the answer is no. It can do double-sided copies, but only manually. There is no multiple-original feed. No shrink/enlarge options. It does have auto-exposure with a manual override if it's needed. Knowing all of this I think it's a steal at the AR I paid. Otherwise you're probably better off with a scanner and printer for most uses.

Review by gizmo's mom:

I use this instead of my scanner and ink jet and am very impressed with it. I wasn't expecting much for the price ( after rebates) but it surprised me with how well it works. It starts up within seconds and shuts down automatically. This is not something you would use for a business, it copies slow and does not feed multiple documents. It is nice and portable and is perfect for coping a few pages every week.
