Canon PIXMA MX350 Review
The PIXMA MX350 is a mid-range inkjet multifunction printer targeted at small or home office. It has an easy to understand interface and offers some useful business printing features such as an automatic document feeder. It is not designed to a high-volume office printer and velocities reflect this.
The Canon PIXMA MX350 has a 2.5-inch LCD screen and a front-mounted control panel that allows you to print jobs without a PC (although Canon’s software for PCs more powerful control offers). A top-mounted automatic feeder makes it easy to copy multiple page documents.
The user interface of the Canon PIXMA MX350 is leaps ahead of the MX270 and MP550. Arranged along the top of the front, a click-wheel controls and well-marked around the bright and clear 2.5-inch LCD screen. The graphical display can be a bit slow to bring new menus, but the controls are intuitive and we had no problems using it.

The back of the Canon PIXMA MX350 has two RJ11 phone jacks (for input and pass-through of a telephone line), USB and Ethernet connections and an AC outlet. These connectors give the PIXMA MX350′s focus on home office – a built-in fax you can fax documents using a PC or the printer itself, while the wired network port means sharing between multiple PCs simple. The printer also offers integrated wireless networking. We chose a direct connection to our test Windows Vista PC with a standard USB cable.
While versions of Windows from XP to download and install printer drivers on the Internet for barebones printing, faxing and scanning, the installation of Canon’s printer monitoring software suite from the CD opens up a range of adjustments, maintenance and extensive usability options.
We found the print performance of the Canon Pixma MX350 multifunction inkjet to roughly between the MX270 and MP550. The text is well down to size as small as 6pt treated. In Standard quality mode, the PIXMA MX350 pumps out 8.4 pages per minute monochrome, and the introduction of an image or color to the mix this figure drops to 4.8 pages per minute. This is slightly slower than the similarly priced PIXMA MP550 – if you’re going to print large amounts of documents, we would rather choose.
Despite being an office model, the Canon Pixma MX350 can produce reasonable printing when delivered with a high resolution digital photos. Fine detail is not particularly clear, and some blurring is evident in sensitive areas, but we have not noticed that vertical lines or grainy. The flatbed scanner is equally competent, with 1200×2400 images and text that clearly reproduce the most detailed picture.

The Canon PIXMA MX350 uses a black and a PG-510 CL-511 three-color cartridge. High performance versions of these patterns can be purchased, bringing the total printing cost of 23.6c per A4 page. This is slightly more expensive than printing with Canon MP550, but not excessive.
The PIXMA MX350 is an authorized printer that features a small office will benefit is. It is easy to use thanks to a thoughtful layout and printing both text and photo prints show no major shortcomings.
