Reviews of fans of digital technology that used the device, of course, also include the opinions of customers regarding the operation of the device in the Xerox mode.

The capabilities of the corresponding module are such that it is difficult to compare with the copier, if only because the printing technology in this case is an inkjet, and the scanner of this MFP is not adapted by default for fast photocopying. Therefore, the indicators reflecting the performance of the device when operating in the Xerox mode are very modest. The device processes about 1-2 pages per minute. However, as some testimonials of the Canon Pixma MG2440 show, the Xerox function is very necessary at a particular time, and even such indicators will be acceptable. At the same time, as the users of MFIs note, the quality of copies is excellent.

Let's study the specifics of the relevant reviews in more detail.

The multifunction device Canon Pixma MG 2440 is moderately dimensional, not too noisy, it combines the key functions: printing, scanning, and also work in the Xerox mode. Among the useful options, marked by users - automatic on and off.

Reviews: print quality and other functions

The category of devices, to which, in part of one of the key functions belongs Canon Pixma MG2440, - inkjet photo printers. Devays of this type are characterized by a rather narrow focus of technological solutions, which are introduced by the brand-manufacturer.

Therefore, to compare the printer Canon Pixma MG2440, reviews of which in the relevant function are also often found on industry-wide online portals, for example, with a laser printer or MFP in part of printing texts incorrectly. Perhaps the device will be able to provide comparable print quality of the pages or even higher, but it is unlikely that it will be compared to the laser platform in terms of the speed of sheet processing, as well as economy.

Users, judging by the reviews, understand this and try to approach the evaluation of the quality of the device objectively.

The main difficulty in determining the position closest to an objective assessment is that users can use the printer in very different modes. Even if in all cases it will be a question of working with photos - their chroma, brightness can also vary significantly. As a result, one person will be able to print 10 images on the MFP, and another, for example, 15-17. The first, of course, will be a less positive response. "Oh, the Canon MG2440 Inkjet MFP showed an excellent result" - will write the second. Each of them will be in his own way right.

But if you try to catch a certain trend in the users' estimates of the profitability of this MFP - the evaluation of the corresponding printer characteristics is generally positive.
