Customer Ratings & Reviews

One of the best purchases I have made in a long time. The printer is fast and has great print quality. I am able to get so much more accomplished with this device.

Fast printing and scanning job. Print quality is really good over all satisfied

The Canon MF753CDW is my first color laser all-in-one printer from this brand. It prints, faxes, scans and can be operated using the walkup LCD touch panel, via a smartphone app, or remotely when connected via WiFi or Ethernet to a LAN/WAN. I use mine in my home office and it takes up a good chunk of desktop space while weighing nearly 50 lbs. Just make sure to leave space behind, above, and in front of it to open the scanner lid, paper trays, and rear access panel to clear any possible paper jams. Setup for the printer was quick and straight-forward by following the instructions on the color touch LCD and downloading and installing the driver/software from the Canon website (a DVD with the software was also included in the box), and I had it connected to my home WiFi network for wireless printing in about 5 minutes. There is also the option to connect directly to the printer via USB-B or WiFi-direct (compatible with mopria and AirPrint). You can load a variety of different paper types and sizes including, but not limited to, A4, letter, legal, envelopes, and card stock in the built-in 250-sheet paper cassette and manual front-load 50-sheet pop-out tray. If you expect to print in high volume, it may be worth looking into the optional expanded paper cassette, sold separately, which holds an additional 550 pages and installs on the bottom of the printer. Most of the time the machine is completely silent and in sleep mode, though it wakes up immediately when a print job is sent over or if the LCD is tapped. It initializes and starts printing within a couple seconds, and the first page general hits the output tray in under 10 seconds with a max continuous print speed of up to 35 pages per minute. When operating, it makes a fair bit of noise, but after printing it will idle for about 1 minute (producing only a slight hum) before switching to sleep mode. Black and white text-only prints are clear, even, and crisp, while color prints and photos shine with high-detail, beautifully blended colors, and good tonal good accuracy over a wide range of colors. If I’m being picky, the color was just slightly under-saturated and reproduced with a softer focus than the digital image on the screen, but there was no visible pixilation, smudging, or banding, and the prints looked awesome even on plain letter paper. I would definitely feel comfortable printing photos and artwork from this printer for private or business use. When photocopying black and white text using the 50-page ADF, I was pleasantly surprised to see that the duplicate did not lighten significantly versus the original, though there was a slight softening of crispness to the text. I did notice, however, that the letter proportions were not always uniformly reproduced. Upon scrutiny, some lines of text appeared slightly shorter on the copy, while others were stretched a smidge taller, maybe by a single pixel. The warping isn’t instantly noticeable, but since it appears to always affect the same lines on the page, once you start making copies of copies, the distortion is compounded and becomes apparent. The LCD control panel is easy-to-use with taps and swipes if you’re familiar with smartphone or tablet operation, and there up to 6 customizable menu tabs so you can store your favorite functions and presets for quick access. There are several specific functions like copying/scanning an ID or passport, printing templates, and scanning to email or fax for networked printers with internet access. You can also print directly from, or save scans to, a USB drive plugged into the port on the front of the machine. As well, you’re able to send secure print jobs from your computer to be printed at the machine only after a PIN passcode is entered on the control panel. The ‘Canon PRINT Business’ mobile app has a simple interface that allows you to scan to or print from your mobile device. Scanned documents will be saved/downloaded directly to your phone as PDFs or JPEGs. There are also some remote control functions available if you have the printer’s Remote UI feature enabled. The one drawback may be the high-cost of its consumables if you buy genuine cartridges from Canon, however, you don’t have to replace them all at once as there are four colors: black, cyan, magenta, and yellow. High-capacity versions of the cartridges (7600 pages vs 2100 for standard) or aftermarket toner may help defray the cost in the long-term if you print a lot. Overall, this printer fulfills all the functionality that I would expect from a home office or small business printer. I was able to set it up quickly and start using it in under 10 minutes, and its versatility of features gives me the flexibility to securely print, scan, copy, and fax wirelessly at home. The print quality for both grayscale and color documents and photos is excellent, and scans are clear and true to color with high-resolution (600 x 600 dpi).

This is an amazing 4-in-1 Color Laser Printer. It is simply the swiss army knife of 4-in-1 color laser printers. The text quality and image quality (color or B&W) is excellent. This printer is right at home in any home office or small to medium sized business office. (I feel it could also be used as a single department's standalone printer for a larger business as well.) It is a high throughput (up to 35 ppm) that can withstand a lot of paper output for a business. It has all of the features and functions that an IT department would look for in a printer like this too. It has the capability for an IT person to do many things remotely as well. I work from home and travel to client sites. When I am in my home office, I use a B&W laser printer for high quality print. Then, I have a 4-in-1 color inkjet printer for all other functions; color print, copying, faxing, and scanning. This printer has just replaced both of my current printers and seriously upped my output. I print a lot of documents with mixed text and graphics. I also print a lot of labels, envelopes, and use letterhead and special bond paper. So, I use a multipurpose tray heavily for envelopes, letterhead, and special paper. In addition, I copy and scan several hundred pages at a time with a document feeder. In the printers I've used in the past, these two parts seem to experience most of the problems (i.e., errors, misfeeds, and breaks). During the 5 days I've used the Canon MF753Cdw, I didn't experience any misfeeds or problems. Both, the document feeder and multipurpose tray worked flawlessly. Not even a paper jam! I feel the scanner is an absolute standout on this printer. The image quality is amazing and the Canon Scan Utility software makes everything easy and captures it the way I need (PDF, JPG, Tiff, or PNG). To test the image quality, I took a 4" x 6" postcard that I scanned, enlarged it and printed it onto letter sized paper, than scanned that 8.5" x 11" paper into a JPG file. The color and image quality of the resulting JPG image is virtually identical to the original 4" x 6" (see attached photos). I thought the MF753Cdw's screen was very easy to use and it worked very well. I really liked that you could customize and move the icons around on each panel and even rename the panels to what makes sense for your office. This printer has all of the advanced functions that many business printers have. For example, you can copy 1-sided to 2-sided, etc. You can even copy 1 or 2-sided documents to multiple pages to a single page. (i.e., a 100 page document can be copied onto 25 pages, 4 to a page). This is really great for proof reading my large documents and conserving paper. The MF753Cde was very easy to setup and configure. It took me less than 2 hours to be up and printing. The automatic setup takes you through most everything you need. Then the online manual helps you finetune the little things. The supplied software (or downloadable if you want the most recent updates) provides drivers, remote scanning software, and links to the online manual and remote setup and configuration tools. Loading the toner cartridges is via a easy, pullout no-mess tray. This is much improved over my old color laser printer. Overall, I am very pleased and absolutely love this printer. I would certainly recommend this printer to anyone looking for a heavy duty, high quality print and image quality, color laser printer.

The Canon imageCLASS MF753Cdw is a Multifunction Color laser printer with fax, copier that works with wired and wireless networks. Unpacking was easy, open the tob of the box, flip it to its side, pull the printer out, strip of plastic nags and put it in its forever place (this thing is 50 lbs!) setup is very easy where you can either use the CD that was sent with the printer, or just go to Canon website and download the most recent software and drivers. setup took about 5 minutes and I chose to setup this MFD while on wireless. when you turn the printer on it will ask you to connect to a wireless network if it didnt recognize a wired network. once installation is over, you can print a test page and it will ask to color calibrate and align itself which is also great. best features: - the scanner can scan using the fltabed or the auto paper feeder. the scanner is fast with decent quality 600*600 DPI for color or black white scanning. that goes for both feeder and flatbed. - copier/ printer is FAST: first print takes less than 10 seconds and at full speed I could get 35 prints per minute. - Colors are vivid for color and photo printing. I have a laser Samsung C43X, this Canon is miles ahead in terms of speed, color accuracy and sharpness. albeit the Samsung is half the size of this Canon and is 2 years older. - Wireless printing works great! after the Software update that I got 2 days ago, the wireless printing and the printing interface/ controls over all is very good. - the cartridge are on the expensive side, but I think they will take long time before needing replacement. - the Printer has 3 years full warrantee, this is unheard of in business class MFD's and a great welcome! - the printer has a huge 5 inch touch screen to access all functions and setting. Cons: - drum/ waste tray/ print toners are on the expensive side, but i believe its worth it for a small business. - there is no USB printer cable included in the box so if you are relying on local usb connection, better have a cable ready. - the printer is bulky and heavy, if your home office is small, this is an over kill for you. conclusion: this is a great MFD for a busy home office/ or a business that prints less than 30,000 prints per year and need a color option that is fast. with continued software update this could be the best deal in town.

Pros Fast warmup, scanning, and printing Compact Quiet Excellent print quality Excellent scanning quality Easy access to toner Easy to use screen once configured Touchscreen very customizable Can be expanded with larger paper tray Paper tray smaller sizes than most Works with Android and iPhone for Printing Scanner is used to calibrate color Cons Setup system is antiquated Sometimes fails to connect when asleep Touchscreen is slow and detects a swipe as a tap Configuration via “RemoteUI” is tedious Drivers won’t install on Windows 11 MF Scan couldn’t detect the printer on MacOS Small paper tray for printing speed The Canon MF753Cdw is marketed as a compact, easy to use solution for offices and is so simple it doesn’t need IT staff to set up. For a printer with this feature set, it is very compact. The footprint is barely any more than just a laser printer. As for setup and use so easy you don’t need IT staff, that is more questionable. It does have support for mobile printing on both iPhone and Android but there is no indication if scanning works on mobile as well. Setup The most basic setup isn’t too difficult. You choose how you are connecting hardwired or wireless. If you are connecting wirelessly then you just choose your Wi-Fi name and enter your password. Strangely, the printer doesn’t understand modern mesh Wi-Fi. Instead of just showing the Wi-Fi it shows every access point separately which can be confusing. Considering this is a business printer and mesh Wi-Fi is common in business networks this is a bit strange and might even explain why the printer occasionally shows offline. After adding it to the network you have two routes you can take. You can either use the default drivers and utilities included with Windows or MacOS or install the drivers and software from Canons’ website. A CD-rom is also included if your system still has one. Installing via the built in options in Windows and MacOS was painless. You just search for the printer, and if found, it set it up for you with the basic drivers. There is no Windows Store app available so you just get the basic functions. If you want to use the drivers provided by Canon for more functionality, things get more finicky and technical. First of all, on Windows 11 the printer driver installed and could see the printer but couldn’t install it. This prevented MF Scan from working as it needs the printer drivers. The entire process feels antiquated including software installation. If you have seen driver installers from Windows XP, this process would feel very familiar. MacOS worked a little better and installed but then had trouble finding the printer. Once it was able to find the printer the MF Scan Utility worked without issues, but MF Toolbox could never find the scanner. It really seems like if you want the simplest option then you are better off skipping installing the Canon drivers and utilities and instead just using the built in ones from your OS of choice. The front screen comes with default options. You can adjust many things directly from the touchscreen, but it is easier to do this via what Canon calls RemoteUI. This is not only because many features are only configurable in RemoteUI, but also because the touchscreen is slow and tends to interpret scrolling or swiping as taps. RemoteUI is just the printers built in website for changing settings the same as printers have been for years. While functional, this isn’t exactly easy to configure for the non-technical person. Setting up Cloud services similarly isn’t the most straightforward process. First, it must be done through RemoteUI in the Application Library which is only visible in System Manager Mode and it isn’t as simple as connecting to a cloud service and you make a choice on the printer afterwards. You must configure buttons for each action you would like to perform specifically. For example, you need to create a button to do a singled sided scan and save it to your Google Drive. If you want to be able to do a double-sided scan or even change the format or resolution, you must create more buttons. For each option you would like to perform with your cloud service you also have to give a unique button group name, which is not used, and reconnect to the same cloud service which was used for the previous button. While the process works, it could do with some streamlining. Usage and Performance While setup is not as user friendly as marketing would lead you to believe, daily usage is the opposite. Occasionally the printer doesn’t wake from sleep and shows offline on the first try, but this is a minor nuisance. Most of the time, when you choose to print it wakes up extremely fast and the pages start coming out within a handful of seconds. Print quality is very good as well. Text and pictures have a slight gloss with good color uniformity making prints look more professional instead of dull and flat like some laser printers. This is likely also because as part of the setup process the printer creates a calibration page which you scan in ensuring prints are as color accurate as possible. The main issue you might run into is needing to refill the paper tray because it prints so fast. Scanning produces sharp results. Scans come out clean and remove most creases and noise without sacrificing sharpness. If you have spent time configuring the touchscreen buttons, the process is very easy. You can load up what you want to scan, tap the cloud account you want to upload to, and you are done. If you have your options set up, the process is seamless. Another nice feature is how the scanner, output tray, toner, and paper drawer all face the same direction. Also, changing toner doesn’t require opening half the printer either. All you do is open and door and pull out a tray. If you have ever dealt with changing toner by opening a hinge that lifts half the printer ready to fall back down, you can imagine how much simpler a toner tray is. Final Thoughts While calling the MF753Cdw simple enough to set up without technical knowledge is a bit of a stretch, once setup up the results produced are hard to beat. There are areas where the process could use refinement and simplification but if you are in the market for a compact laser printer that produces very good results quickly the MF753Cdw is worth a look.

The Canon Color ImageClass MF753cdw is a solid office printer that’s equally at home in a SOHO as it is a small business. It features your standard affair of upper mid-range laser printer features, including duplex printing and scanning. It offers pretty high end features in a fairly compact chassis (compact for a color laser that is, it’s still big). SOHO may be a stretch for some here, as its footprint is pretty large at 17”x17”x17” and 48lbs. That said, in that packaging you get an auto document feeder (ADF) with duplex scanning, a flatbed scanner, duplex printing, WiFi and wired networking, and multiple USB ports (host and client). It comes with a power cable, and phone cable for the integrated fax. Unfortunately I haven’t had a landline to fax with so I cannot comment on the fax feature. Connectivity is available multiple ways. You get the ye-ol USB connection, which I didn’t even try, WiFi, and gigabit wired ethernet. I used the WiFi connectivity primarily because I felt like it’s the most common use case, but I did have good luck with the gigabit adapter as well. Frankly, if you can use a wired network with a printer like this, you should, but I had no problems via WiFil. Getting connected initially was as easy as following a few steps on the printer, and putting in the WiFi password. The touchscreen on board helps walk you through setup. I found the touchscreen to be a resistive sort, which felt imprecise when using my fingers. A stylus would be better, but who keeps a stylus for a printer. Setup was relatively easy. The interface is tabbed and highly configurable. You can edit which functions and ‘apps’ are accessible from the touchscreen. The home screen gives you access to the real normal features you’d access from the device: scanning, and copying. AirPrint worked right out of the box. My iPhone and iPad saw the printer immediately and printed successfully. Windows 11 found the printer instantly and set it up successfully. The same was true of MacOS. Duplex printing worked like a charm in all these scenarios and printing was flawless on all these platforms. I went a step further and downloaded the Windows 11 drivers for the printer. This opened up some more advanced settings buried in legacy printer driver panels. But the real extra settings are found in the System Manager Remote UI which is accessible via web browser. You need to first configure an access pin on the touchscreen ([Management Settings] [License/Other] [Remote UI Settings] [Restrict Access]). Here you can see toner levels, printer status, configure advanced settings, LDAP integration, all sorts of business settings. This also provides a nifty drag and drop interface for customizing the tabs and screens on the touchscreen. Overall there was a lot of thought put into this firmware to manage the more advanced pieces. So how is print quality? In general for a laser, pretty good. Text is crisp, but certain fonts don’t print quite as well as others. This is in the default quality that 35ppm is rated at. If you adjust the quality a bit, you get better results, but it is slightly slower. Images are crisp, but slightly duller than their source. Laser’s aren’t known to be photo printers, so don’t expect to print framed photos. Art projects for school or other assignments, this printer will wow however. The key to the Canon is fast and solid images. First page is rated out at 7 seconds, which is pretty accurate. Duplex printing is quick with a page taking about 5 seconds to fully spit out. Speed printing at 35ppm will eat up your paper tray in a few minutes, as it only holds 250 sheets. The included toner is a standard 069 cartridge toner. This is good for about 2000 pages give or take. Each toner is about $100, so like most laser printers, you’ll be in for about $400-500 for a full set of toner. The good new is you get lots of pages, and great standby time. So if you find your needs are printing in spirts, the laser doesn’t care if it’s been sitting for 4 months. The toner doesn’t dry out like inkjets. I’ve gotten great life out of color lasers, and I’m sure the Canon is going to serve me for quite a while. Overall I'd recommend the MF753Cdw. It prints, scans, and copies quite well and is very accessible. It isn't quite as user friendly as a Brother, or honed quite as well as an HP, but it offers all the same features at a compelling price with affordable toner.

This is an incredible printer for a small office or for your home office. This type of printer is incredibly low maintenance, and will be a workhorse for many years to come. I’ve been using my printer for almost 2 weeks, and have had zero issues. The setup was among the easiest of any printer I’ve had. It comes preloaded with toner, so you only need to unpack it, remove the tape, and turn it on. The wireless option connected to my computer with no effort, I just connected to the same Wi-Fi, and my computer immediately found it when searching for a network printer. The color quality is rich and sharp, it does a really nice job blending colors and showing the dynamics between light and dark. This printer also has the option to add a high capacity tray to the bottom, which will really help if you have a high printing volume. Another advantage of this is you can set the trays to different paper sizes and types. The printer should support 80 lb card stock through the main feed, as this does not have a side bypass tray. So far, this is probably my favorite printer I’ve ever owned.

This canon mf753cdw printer is a very excellent printer. I have look at other brand such as ho and brothers but I just like the sturdy built and the quality of the print. Very easy to setup with WiFi yes the ink is expensive but I will never used after market ink in this printer from lesson learned because after market ink is cheaper but overtime it will ruined your printer I lost a few printer because of this. Please use original ink from canon in this printer and you will have any problem for years

This is an upgrade to a Canon MF743cdw. I was looking for a durable color all-in-one laser printer. Because of my experiences with the prior model, I was favorably disposed to this product. It is relatively fast, offers good scanning capabilities and its setup is relatively straightforward. Compared to the MF743cdw, this version offers some important updates - it is faster and its menuing system is much better organized. Overall, related to comparable HP products (I did look), this is a no-brainer. HP locks you into only hp toner; here, we can use (with some cautions) third party. The only downside of this system is the cost of the toner, which is really dear. I usually buy it on ebay. If you can live with this problem, then you will be pleased with this unit. Recommended.

Setup was straight forward, no issues. Connected directly to my router and is accessible from any of our devices using our home network. Scan software from Canon did not work with latest update of Windows 11, but I use a legacy version from Windows and it scans just fine. Great color printouts! Fast printing. I would definitely recommend this device

Very happy with it so far. Easy to set up, easy to use. Prints fast. Quiet, which is nice when my spouse prints and I am working at my desk. It was actually recommended by a salesperson at Staples, who said that they do not carry it but that it would be a better bet than what they have. I bought it 'on sale," which made it competitive

I switched from a inkjet to a laser printer due to the ink always drying out on me by the time I needed it. It was easy to get it up physically but I will say, it was kind of hard to find the program from the website to download onto my computer. Otherwise, its been a great printer. Prints really fast and has a lot of great features.

Beautiful quality and easy to set up. It is the only piece of office equipment that works properly all the time.

I used this to replace an old Ricoh office quality printer that in todays version would have cost three times what this unit cost with printing only. So far my experience has far exceeded expectations!. I operate it on a home network as a wired unit rather than wireless. It is rocket fast at startup to completion compared to the older unit. I have no complaints so far other than the cost of the consumables which seem a bit high, but it is a much better deal than ink-jets which seem to not last long around our house. Were it locally available, I might opt for an add-on tray for multiple papers which I do use from time to time. It is available at some time in the future, but not currently shipping. (Supply chain issues I guess.) Had I known how fast this one responds for printing I probably would have junked the other printer out a couple of years ago.

We love this thing!! We've had inkjet printers for the past 20 years but it seems that nowadays the ink never lasts and whenever they did a maintenance "clean cycle" there went all your ink and you'd be prompted to buy more ink. Tried various brands and all the same thing so we decided to buy this Canon Laser printer and boy is it awesome!! Setup was really easy although connecting to the app was glitchy at first so I couldn't connect to my house WiFi but after resetting the app and restarting the printer it worked great. It prints really fast and the quality is great as well. We've printed over 500 pages with the included toners and still have toner. Overall highly impressed and can't believe we waited so long to upgrade to a laser printer.

All I had to do was load the software and print…that easy!!

Printer was very easy to unpack and setup. Very good quality printing and easy to install on devices.

Very easy to set up. Prints seamlessly from everywhere in the house. Crisp and clean

Love the printer! Basic functions were very easy to set. Scan to email did take some research but easily found how. It even scans my index cards.!
