I chose Canon for its solid reputation, but this F20 printer-copier-scanner has more going for it than I ever expected. I'm using it with Windows 98. The printing and copying are fast, and the reproduction quality is excellent, even in draft mode.

Scanning of documents or photos includes a preview feature with zoom, allowing you to see what the output will look like. And while being previewed, the photo or document can be cropped, resized, rotated and rescaled. A soft-focused photo image can be sharpened, and I can even adjust the color tones, contrast and brightness. The resulting color output was better than in the photos I scanned.

The OCR software on the installation CD works perfectly. And because the F20 is a flatbed copier, I can scan pages of bound books into the computer, then edit and save them as Word documents, which is saving me a huge amount of time and expense.

The setup sheet made installation extremely easy and problem-free. And the other documentation - the basic manual and the online software guide - are clearly written and well designed, so the machine's various functions are easy to learn. (And there are a LOT of functions.)

Altogether a top shelf piece of equipment!

This printer is just flying on WinXP 512Ram. Scanning is almost professional. Printing and coping is fast and simple.
On the minus side, it uses a lot of ink. All taken into account there is no saving in ink comparing to HP or Epson printer's ink usage.
With all ot Multipass F20 minuses and pluses, I believe, it is the best multi-functioning devise in its price range. I also hate myself for overpaying 60 bucks, by not waiting couple of month until price finally came down.

After having several problems with my epson printer I read the reviews here and decided to try my first canon. Its great! Nice features in a low cost multifunction printer. Amazon has the best price I could find on it also. BEWARE! This printer software would not work with my Norton Firewall on my pc. I called canon tech support and they were very helpfull trying to help me even though I pretty much knew it was a firewall issue. Couldnt get it to work. I uninstalled Norton and installed McAfee firewall and no problems whatsoever. Just a word of caution.
