Canon PIXMA E4570 All in One (Print, Scan, Copy) WiFi Ink Efficient Colour Printer with FAX and Auto Duplex Printing for Home/Office

~~~~update 2024/1/19~~~~1. I tested via mobile. Found canon mobile software is buggy. I tried multiple newnAndroid phones and also iPhone 6. Printer setup kept failing with error 3441. Finally after a couple hours realised that "easy setup" wizard is failing. There is another option called "direct setup" which prints wireless password to use to directly connect to printer - that finally worked. There is a button somewhere "if printer setup fails", use that to do direct connection2. I tried Auto Document Feeder "scanning" finally. I left a bunch of Legal size papers on top tray and it automatically did scan them one by one - pretty cool. however it will not SCAN both sides automatically, just one side. If you need both sides scanned then you need to do turn pages manually. note that automatic dual side PRINTING works fine, just automatic dual SCANNING does not work3. A4 scanning via document feeder on top seems slightly buggy (A4sides getting cropper even when I turn off all software optimisation), but Legal scans workee well from top feeder. Here is recommendation- For A4 scans: i recommend using the GLASS panel manually, but note to set document size as "A4" (not letter, though both same?) and source "document planex"- For Legal scans: use top document FEEDER and in 'Canon IF Scan software' settings set source "document ADF simplex"~~~~~~original ~~~~~~My main criteria was that I needed a printer which could print double sided automatically. The title of product says "ADF duplex" but reading through all reviews I was VERY confused as everyone gave conflicting details. I may not understand whatADF means, maybe it means automated document feeder for "duplex SCANNING"?? I haven't tested "duplex scanning" yet but I DID test duplex printing a lot . i am very pleased with purchase.Earlier, looking through Amazon I was going to purchase a diff printer for 25k as that one seemed to certainly support ADF/Duplex (per reviews) but I decided to take a chance with this one for 2 reasons (a) it was 40% less price at 8k and the title of product in listing did indicate that it DID support it (it was only in reviews that confused me). (b) few months back I had purchased another Canon ( PIXMA TR7020a Wireless All-In-One Inkjet Printer ) for $100 and it did dual page automatic printing so I was certain I didn't need to spend more than rs.10k.. ....note, I did find another sub-10k printer on Amazon.in that was guaranteed to do dual page printing, but I realised it was only a black/white and couldn't do color. This does both color & b/wHere is what all i tested1. Scanning works great. it can scan both A4 and legal.2. Printing is perfect for black/white and also color3. Dual page printing works perfectly. it's AUTOMATED and I didn't have to manually flip paper (like some reviewers have mentioned??)i haven't tested via mobile yet but I am sure it will work (i had very bad experience with two HP printers, with one being a very expensive HP printer costing $220+, but with Canon I had no issues with wireless mobile, it was perfect..unfortunately i couldn't find that model on Amazon.in). I tested with only computer USB connection this time. I will test mobile maybe soon if i get boredCON:Had some headaches with scanning. Scanner size is A4, so if you have "legal" size then you need to use Document Feeder entry on TOP of main lid. The document feeder on top does scan via LCD panel and also via the Canon Scan software. So first problem is that scanner glass panel size is fixed to A4, so if you need larger/longer or LEGAL then you need to use above feeder which is a bit slower/clunky to operate but it does work. second problem is that the scanning software is buggy - this is the biggest problem. I had this issue with BOTH A4 and LEGAL scans. Problem was that borders were chopped off. After spending 30 min debugging and experimenting with the Canon Scan software (downloaded during install) I was able to find the setting I needed to manipulate to make it not chop off edges randomly when it saw blank spaces (Note I was not able to configure these settings on the LCD panel as it had limited settings). Anyway I am an IT guy so I had the patience to experiment and figured it out but I don't think everyone will.(hint I had to use 'custom scan' settings for avoiding chopping of LEGAL edges).if anyone needs anything tested message me and i can try it. Overall for 8k it's an excellent printer

Overall I am very pleased with this printer, my first Canon one. Print quality is excellent and print speed is reasonable. I have been able to scan and print on legal size paper also, though this size is not specifically listed in the specs. So far, duplex printing has not worked well. Paper gets jammed at time of turn-around to print the second page. I suspect this is due to the quality of paper available here in India. I have not tried it on a large variety of papers, so I am hoping I will find suitable paper that will allow for duplex printing automatically. Currently, I am manually turning around the paper to print on the reverse side. Hence, I have dropped one star from the overall rating.

I couldn’t write a feedback to the seller, thus I’ll have to do it in a product review.After thorough research, I ordered the Canon Pixma E4570 in the April 2023. One day delivery with decent packaging was provided by Amazon. Product worked fine. I even registered for the warranty on Canon website from the serial number provided in the Invoice/Warranty Slip. After using it for 4-5 months, I started having issues with the print qualities. Naturally, I contacted the customer support and registered a repair request with Canon under warranty. Service was prompt and my issue was solved the next day by the executive. Now comes the tricky part. During that service I came to know that the serial number written on my printer and the one in the invoice are totally different. What should I interpret about this? Did I get the wrong product or did I get the wrong invoice? After realising this, I contacted Amazon Customer Support. They advised me to contact the seller because according to them, seller can solve this problem. So, I tried contacting the seller Appario Retail, but I couldn’t get in touch. Seems like they don’t have a customer support service or who knows. After that I found multiple negative reviews about them from various buyers. Now I’m wondering whether I got the genuine product or not? Moral of the story, always check the serial number on the invoice and on the product on the electronic items. Oh and stay away from this seller.I might as well mention couple of things about the Printer. It’s not cost effective at all. You’ll have to purchase expensive Canon Cartridges regularly to get things going. Design is quite delicate, have to be careful while moving around. Only good things about the printer is Duplex Printing and Good quality colour printing. Better to go for inktank or laser printers for long term use.

Simply good for home usage.

Pros are this is cheap all in one solution almost every one knows which is the good side of this printer.1. Print - works.2. Scan - Both glass and ADF work (ADF preferred for Legal size paper).Then what is bad?1. Print quality is far inferior to ink tanks.2. Speed : Specs say it prints 7 ppm. Thats good. But when you try Print on both sides, it takes a min for flipping each page and printing. What is wrong with Canon? 1 min per page. who does that in 2024?Thats a big red flag for me. But as I am an occasional printer, that works for me.

Good Product,Value for Money. Ticks all required usage for small business and home needs
