MFP Canon Pixma MG2440. Reviews of MFP Canon Pixma MG2440

For some reason, the phrase "printing factory" is associated with the majority of potential buyers facing the choice of an inexpensive multifunction device with color printing, with something cumbersome and inaccessible for the price. In fact, everything is very simple - the manufacturers have created a unique device that is not much inferior to the professional equipment installed in photo studios. The focus of the article - Canon Pixma MG2440 MFP, owner reviews, functionality, problems in the work and their solution.

All in one

The fewer devices on the desktop, the more convenient it is for any user to work - that's a fact! The manufacturer of office equipment thought the same way and introduced the world to the Canon Pixma MG2440, which includes three devices at once: a color printer, a scanner and a copier.

The device can work both in black and white format, and in color, and the resolution of 600x480 pixels per inch makes it possible to print photos. The optical resolution of the scanner with the CIS-sensor is 600x1200, which is quite enough for both scanning and copying. True, with this resolution, the manufacturer's motive is not clear, which set the depth of color when scanning 48 bits, according to the logic, this parameter is needed to work at higher resolutions. In the copier mode, there is a function of zooming from 25 to 400% in increments of one, this possibility is often in demand and will please users working with graphics.

Meet on clothes

The delivery set is complete, in contrast to the products of many competitors. First of all, we are talking about the USB interface cable, which can be found in a huge box. In addition, there is a power cable, software, starter kit and instructions. MFP Canon Pixma MG2440 is perfectly packaged in an anti-shock package, plastic and foam plastic plugs are installed throughout its surface. This protection gives a 100% guarantee of the integrity of the device when falling from a high altitude during transportation.

The instruction deserves special attention. By the principle of "less words, more work," it is a set of pictures that show the algorithm of installation and preparation for work. The installation can be safely entrusted to the child.

Full serviceability in any system

In addition to the Windows operating system, the OS based on Mac OS and Linux is very popular. Naturally, users need devices that not only can print, but also provide all their functionality. Many MFPs have problems with this, especially in Linux. But about the MFP Canon Pixma MG2440 reviews can be found on all sorts of resources dedicated to open operating systems. And they are all positive. You do not need to spend precious time searching Ubuntu repositories for installing the MFP. All necessary software is on the manufacturer's website, and it is constantly updated, which once again emphasizes the company's loyalty to its customers. The device is suitable for work in offices, as it is able to work with servers and without problems "is thrown" in terminal sessions with all its capabilities.

Price of issue

As you know, all manufacturers of office equipment earn not on devices, but on consumables. It touched this printer. MFP Canon Pixma MG2440 comes with a starting kit of cartridges, which is not even enough to print hundreds of pages. For a full set of cartridges, which is enough for 400-500 pages, customers will need to pay about 2000 rubles, and this at a new printer costs 5 thousand rubles. Counting the cost price of printing one page, any user will take over his head.

It is not worth getting frustrated, as an inexpensive solution it is worth considering the purchase for the Canon Pixma MG2440 MFPs - CIS continuous ink supply systems. Its price along with the paint will be about 3000 rubles, but the resource will last for a very long time, and refueling at home will not cause problems. Judging by the numerous reviews of owners of multifunction units with CISS, the cost price of printing is a penny, while neither this quality nor the speed of the printer is affected by such modernization.

Special requirements for inkjet printer

For Canon's Canon Pixma MG2440 color multifunction refueling is not the only headache for the user. Like all inkjet printers, the device is characterized by drying of ink in ink cartridges. There is only one way out - at least once a week to print one page with a small text and a multi-colored picture. In the instructions for the MFP it is recommended to clean the cartridge nozzle every fourteen days, which is started with the special software supplied on the disk to the device. However, this remark applies only to original cartridges with branded paint. If the user independently makes a refueling or uses a continuous ink supply system, the drying from drying should be done more often, and the software cleaning of the nozzles is not able to work effectively with inexpensive paints. If the user does not have the opportunity to timely service the MFPs, it is worth to refuse to purchase an inkjet device in favor of a laser printer.

Tactical and technical characteristics

The user will not be surprised at the standard format of the paper . MFP Canon Pixma MG2440 A4, A5, B5, Letter and all kinds of envelopes supports at the driver level, but to force the printer to print without borders is a problem. Also, the device does not have a built-in duplex, supports wireless technologies and network interfaces, not to mention the possibility of printing without connecting to a personal computer or laptop. Although, judging by the numerous reviews of administrators working in private companies, the MFP can be "friends" with any print server, as well as give the opportunity to work via Wi-Fi through a router. About the noisy operation of the printer can be forgotten, because the print speed is 8 pages per minute for black-and-white text and only 4 pages per minute for color images with 100% fill of the sheet. It is interesting to disconnect the device from power when idle, moreover, when setting print jobs, the Canon Pixma MG2440 is turned on independently.

Photo Quality

Declared by the manufacturer 2 picoliters per drop of ink clearly guarantee high quality of photo printing. With a resolution of at least 600x480 pixels per inch, you can rest assured that on A4 size paper there will be an ideal photograph that is as good as professional print studios. However, this Canon statement is only guaranteed if you use only branded ink. Looking at the MFP Canon Pixma MG2440 reviews, you can find that most users because of the savings switched to ink for the printer from the famous South Korean manufacturer INKSYSTEM. Also well-proven Ukrainian ink WWM.

There are no questions at all for color printing of photographs. The transmission of halftones is very natural. Even on ordinary low-density paper, the quality of the photo will be irreproachable. It is very interesting to print Internet pages - it is produced in the same form as displayed on the monitor screen, there are no extra fields, and the text does not go anywhere.

Oddities in work

Not everything works smoothly in the Canon Pixma MG2440. Feedback from users is negative about the operation of the scanner. The 3 in 1 device refuses to scan in the absence of any cartridge - this is regarded by the technique as a failure of all MFPs (error code 2.140.20). That is, before you return the cartridge to the gas station, it's worth making sure that you do not need to scan for a period of printer downtime. Trivial, but very unpleasant. In addition, the cartridges for a long time expel the air balls from the tubes of the CISS, if they are accidentally clamped by the cover of the MFP. Because of this, a photo with white stripes can print up to a dozen pages. Clean in any case is necessary to prevent the nozzles from drying out, and the service center will fail in repair, as the Canon Pixma MG2440 Inkjet MFP after the upgrade does not fit the terms of the manufacturer's warranties.

Incident Management

Conveniently, for the MFP Canon Pixma MG2440 reviews contain information not only on the description of the positive and negative sides. Very often, users share problems that arise and solve them.

1. Blocking of branded cartridges. If the ink runs out and you can refill the cartridges yourself, do not worry that the printer refuses to continue working. Holding the "stop" button for at least five seconds will cause the printer to work hard.
2. Installing CISS in a Canon service center does not invalidate the warranty.
3. Let the manufacturer and position his device to work in the office, but the load of more than 1999 pages in a row should not be given to him. The smart machine has a lock in the firmware when printing 2000 pages, which can only be fixed by the programmer.

Finally

In any case, of course, there may be inconveniences in the work, some minor flaws, but everything can be solved even without contacting the service center. All the error codes that can be demonstrated by the MFP in the process of work are not only in the instruction, but are described in detail on the manufacturer's website. Step-by-step implementation of recommendations for resolving problems will help any user. Judging by the numerous reviews of happy owners, for a small cost it is - worthy of the market of office equipment MFP. Printing Canon Pixma MG2440 with CISS will last not for one year. The device with the timely maintenance and proper use of obsolete morally, but in the process of operation will not fail.
