Just out of interest, compare this machine with the Sharp AR-M201F, reviewed last week. This Canon multi-function is consistently faster when printing real-world jobs, has a similar feature set, has no warm-up time from sleep mode and takes up much...

Fast print speed. Duplex (two-sided) printing. Standalone copying and faxing. 35-page automatic document feeder.

Can't scan over network. Text is a touch below par for a laser.

Inexpensive; network-ready; includes ADF and duplexer; can receive faxes in secure memory; consistently good print/scan quality and fast scan and copy speeds.

Scan and fax features are a bit limited.

If your office printing, scan, and fax needs run to the basic, the Canon ImageClass MF4270 is a good fit, with brisk task speeds and consistent output quality.

Fast warm up, fast print. Good and reasonable speed document feed scanner. No jams yet except for staples... Better than the brother that it replaced (does not cause the lights to dim when warming up and better print quality). For the price great

Wish it had a big red cancel/stop/reset button for when things go wrong

Easy set-up, compact size for machine with multiple capabilities. Fax is extremely fast with excellent quality. Copying, printing, scanning all work very well

Does not have legal size platen but with ADF it is not a major issue

networking was a breeze. it really makes life easy to be able to wirelessly print. no jams for double side printing! amazing.... this printer works flawlessly

scanning requires usb cable. (you cannot wireless save to your computer). also the printer cannot store too much paper

instant startup, if it's in power saving mode, and you put a document in the ADF to copy, and press copy, it instantly scans and prints with no delay, a one page copy from cold takes about 4-5 seconds... amazing for anything under $600 ; very fast...

toner cartridges are combined with the drum and are a bit expensive, but not crazy and per sheet cost is still good for laser ; no scan from network, but curiously can scan to a usb key
