Canon Pixma MX340

The Canon Pixma MX340 color inkjet multifunction printer (with print, scan, copy, and fax capabilities) looks like a bargain ($100 as of June 1, 2010) until you factor in its pricey inks. If you don't print much, however, this machine offers just...

Wi-Fi connectivity ; Low purchase price

Color scans tend to be dark ; Black ink is expensive

Speed and print quality are decent, but the pricey black ink limits this unit to low-volume home use.

Review: Canon Pixma MX340 multifunction device

Speed and print quality are decent, but the pricey black ink limits this multifunction device to low-volume home use.

The Pixma MX340’s two standout features are Wi-Fi connectivity, which requires a temporary USB connection during setup but is otherwise painless; and a 30-sheet automatic document feeder. The configuration also includes a letter-size flatbed scanner; a...

The dimensions of the MX340 are approximately 18 x 16 x 8 inches and it weighs 19 pounds

Good print quality ; Decent print speeds ; Front side USB ; Simple paper path

Ink can be expensive ; One line display ; Lengthy processing

Canon Pixma MX340 All-in-One Printer

Maxell’s Encore EN-5 offer a rich, full sound for an affordable price, beating out nearly all of the headphones in the test. However, our testers didn’t think they were very comfortable, nor did this pair do a good job staying put during use....

Canon Pixma MX340 all-in-one printer

Looking for a budget multi-function?

Cheap, well specified

Running costs are a touch high on this model too, but overall it's a fair if not spectacular performance from the Canon. You do get quite a lot of printer for your money and the fax and wireless capabilities are a useful addition too. The MX340 isn't...

Canon Pixma MX340 review

If you don't print much, however, the Canon Pixma MX340 offers just enough of everything else to enable a small or home office to get by.

The Canon Pixma MX340 does everything needed of an MFP, at a bare-bones level - and at a very low entry price. But if you do a lot of printing, you'll be better off in the long run with a model whose inks are more affordable.

Canon Pixma MX340 review

Canon has consistently impressed us with the quality of its recent MFPs, but they haven't had much appeal for the budget conscious, with most of current models priced at over £100.

The MX340 does everything, but its print costs make it unsuitable for high-volume printing.
