Whether you're running a busy home office or just looking to minimize your desktop clutter, you're going to love the Canon M370, a single unit that combines the functions of a scanner, copier, and printer. With printing and copying speeds at up to 18 ppm black and 12 ppm color, it easily keeps pace with business demands while its rich colors and low-cost consumables make it the perfect companion to electronic craft projects. Plus, you can print directly from digital-camera memory cards, including CompactFlash, MicroDrive, SmartMedia, Memory Stick (excluding PRO), SD Card and MultimediaCard, and xD-Picture Card; Memory Stick DUO and miniSD Card are supported with an optional adapter.

This printer can connect directly to select digital cameras. Learn more about PictBridge.

You can archive your family photos or digitize your research, thanks to the flatbed color scanner, which has an optical resolution of 1,200 x 2,400 dpi (9,600 x 9,600 dpi interpolated). Included scanning software can help you edit, organize, and smooth out your images to improve the fine details--your copies may look better than the original when all is said and done! 48-bit color and 16-bit grayscale provide realistic colors and accurate and subtle shading with high contrast.

The printer offers 600 x 600 dpi for black pages and 4,800 x 1,200 dpi for photographic color; it's compatible with a wide variety of papers. When printing from your memory card, you can produce a photo proof sheet at the touch of a button, which allows you to easily choose your very favorite photos without wasting expensive paper. The two-cartridge system makes replacing empty ink tanks a snap.

The M370 is compatible with Windows-based systems and connects via a high-speed USB 2.0 cable. Canon includes a one-year warranty with Instant Exchange service.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great value overall, April 19, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Canon MultiPass MP370 Multifunction (Office Product)

Pros:
- Very good quality printing, takes few minutes to
go through the alignment (follow the documentation)
- The ink's are much cheaper to refill ( best thing!)
- Not too big

Cons:
- While shutting does some noisy operation before completely shutting down.

But if you want all-in-one and best value for money- go for this one!

Compared this one to various printers in the HP line and I am glad I bought this one! I also have an HP officejet 630 on our other computer, which has worked well. Scanner jams ocassionally, not a flatbed. It was time to buy a flatbed scanner/printer/copier to go with our new Dell 4600 with XP home. The reviews on the HP were toublesome since a lot of people had to contact HP tech for help and were pretty discouraged with the response, software and printer problems out of the box.
The printer and software were very easy to install with no problems, under 10 min. First thing I did was print out some photos on photo paper and they turned out great! It was a snap. Scanner worked well and produced a pretty nice image. The copier was also tested right away and did a great job. Black and white text printed out pretty fast. This one also can print photos directly from your digital camera media. The mp360 can't.
Another great thing about the printer is the ink is very affordable, 6 to $7 retail, cheaper online. A welcome relief compared to my HP, at 26 to $30.
All in all for the price you can't beat it!

One of the reviewer must be confused when mentioning that the scan takes five minutes. Very likely, the scan is set an an abnormally high quality/dpi rate, resulting in the the high quality and slow scan times the reviewer experienced.

Personally, I am able to scan documents and photos very quickly and efficiently. I usually leave the documents at around 150dpi, and photos at a much higher rate depending on the job. Also, this printer is very efficient in scanning documents. I can literally make pdf files of my documents in about a minute.

The claims that the ink cartridges are small do have merit, but the price of the ink cartridges are really really cheap and despite their diminuitive size they do last a very long time. Just remember to stock up on a few extra cartridges when buying them.

I have done a lot of research regarding technology and one of my recalled facts was PCmagazine doing a comparison of per page ink printing. When it really came down to it, Canon really was the cheapest to print per page. Although the cost is cheap, I can personally attest that the cheapness of the printing does not result in any sacrifice to quality.

This printer supports very high quality printing and I have printed many photos in conjunction with the Canon Photo paper. They turn out really well. They're not photo lab quality, but they are definitely good quality.

Finally, for the price that Amazon charges for such a fine printer, I'm surprised they still have these in stock. The current price they charge is actually about the same discounted price as department stores charge for Black Friday Specials.

Definitely a great printer at a great price.
