What You Should Know about the Pixma MX700

If You Use a Sony Camera, Print Right From Its Memory Stick

This printer can read and write to Sony's proprietary flash memory devices called Memory Sticks, and with an adapter, could also support variants such as Memory Stick Pro, Duo, Pro Duo, and Micro. Few non-Sony devices use Memory Sticks, however, the company is so large that there's still a good chance you might need to read data from one someday.

Duration of ownership: 9 Months

Strengths: Good duplex scanning, prints are fast enough.

Weaknesses: Unstable while on network, multiple malfunctions.

Overall Evaluation: Let's see - often loses network, yellow faulty (print head needs to be taken apart and washed out with hot water), now error 6A80 (scanner jammed). It started off being a good machine with great duplex (double-side) scan ability, but in the end I now know it's a lemon. NOT an office machine. Probably good for home use. My old HP6110xi (5 years old) whips this completely.

Strengths: Print quality is great. Two paper trays is nice option. Works great over a network.

Weaknesses: Scan quality is average at best. Start up time is slow and it needs a lot of space. Software is not well integrated and not very intuitive. If there is a way to get the scanner to "know" to scan from feeder rather than platen without setting it up every time I can't find it. HP's sense something in feeder and do this automatically.

Overall Evaluation: Compared to the reviews, I have been disappointed and find it very much a very average printer/scanner.
