Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

With innovative features, solid performance, and a low price tag, the Canon S400 Color Bubble Jet printer is all you need for your home or office. Its patented Think Tank System efficiently manages ink use, reducing waste and saving you money. Rather than replacing an entire cartridge, the S400 allows you to change individual ink tanks. This system also gives you the option to switch to Canon's IS-32 Color Image Scanner cartridge, allowing the S400 printer to work as a 720 dpi color sheetfed scanner.

At six pages per minute (four ppm color) and 1,440 x 720 dpi, the S400 combines fast printing with crisp graphics and professional documents. It handles a wide variety of paper types and sizes, including glossy photo, transparencies, envelopes, and T-shirt transfers. Built-in USB and parallel ports make connecting quick and easy for both Mac and PC systems.

The Canon S400 includes a CD-ROM featuring American Greetings CreataCard SE software, printer drivers, and user's guide. --Emily Bakko

4.0 out of 5 stars Canon comes through!, November 16, 2000

I bought this printer after my old Epson 400 died, and am very satisfied! Driver software offers a lot of control over the printer and even allow for an option to turn the printer on and off automatically as needed. (pretty cool because my printer is out of the way!) Color ink can be replaced one color at a time or all together. Ink is pretty cheap too. Black print speed is great and color is sharp. I recommend it if you want a low-cost alternative to high priced HPs and low quality Epsons.

5.0 out of 5 stars Even my 70 Year Old Dad Loves This!, May 31, 2001

Got this as a replacement for my dad's dead printer, a compaq that had already been replaced under warrantee twice within 3 months.

The Canon S400 is so easy to use, so easy to set up, my dad doesn't have to work with kludgy software to do something as simple as change print cartridges. He loves the fact that this printer automatically cleans its own heads periodically without him doing anything.

He prints daily reports of up to 40 pages per day, and used to get real frustrated when other printers' skipped or ran too quickly out of ink. The Canon S400 is consistently clear!

After having 2 strokes, my dad needs things kept as simple as possible. The Canon S400 makes things great, simple and very easy to use.

Best of all, my dad's only had to call me once to help him out (his personal tech support, you know). Fixing the problem was a snap.

A great printer at a wonderful price and the cartridge refills won't empty your wallet!

5.0 out of 5 stars 5 Star Printer, May 13, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Canon S400 Color Bubble Jet Printer (Office Product)

This machine delivers ALL that it advertises and more. Excellent copies in color and black & white. Very easy to use and the ink- tank system is the only way to go. Fairly low cost of ink and uses an average amount of ink. You can't buy a less expensive machine with as many dependable features as this one. For in home, average use, it can't be beat!
