The Pixma MP600 is a very versatile printer: It really is a multi purpose printer, giving you plenty of useful functions.
The Operation Panel, which is found at the front of the printer and has a small 6.3cm TFT screen, enables you to quickly see what task you want to tackle and has an easy - scroll wheel which takes you from one action to the next ie. scan, print, maintenance etc. It opens with a home screen and as you turn the wheel, moves you into the next mode. Select Memory Card and the mode screen appears. When selecting the mode and pressing the function button, the instructions for the selected mode are displayed.
Copying: Load the page you wish to copy, select copy on the home screen (make sure the paper is loaded) - you can specify the page size, media type and any other settings you need to set up, there is a + and - button to specify the number of copies required, plus a colour and black button.
The other copy functions are as follows: Reduced/Enlarges copies; two sided copies; borderless copy; 2-on-1 copy, 4-on-1 copy (so 4 copies on one page. It will also copy an image multiple times on a single page.
MP Navigator is the scanning software; you can scan direct from the printer or view photos already stored on your computer or on a memory card, the memory card slot is located in the front of the printer so very easy access. You will be able to view all these images via MP Navigator and edit/print as you require.
There is a PictBridge compliant device connection for a digital camera, camcorder or mobile phone, so if you wish to download your photos from this facility the connection is there. Must admit I don't know anything about the PickBridge, however the instuctions for this can be found within the manual.
By far the best facility on this printer (for me anyway) is the fact that I can print direct onto my cd/dvds, you simply load the cd into the holder that comes with the printer, slot it into position and print. However, one word of caution, you cannot print direct onto the ordinary cd/dvd's, you have to buy the ones with a "white" coating, but the results are very effective.
Cartridge and paper loading are again relatively simple, the paper is top loading and the cartridges just click into position, a light flashes on the cartridge that requires to be changed. However, this printer does take 5 cartridges, two black, one yellow, one magenta and one cyan. Prices vary but direct from Canon they are priced at £9.99 each with one the black cartridges, the PGI-5 coming in at £11.99
All manuals can be viewed on line.
The printer is a nice looking machine in black and silver so quite a modern looking design. Size: Depth 15" to 20" when sheet feeder is open, width 17.5". The built-in scanner has a 2400 x 4800 dpi resolution, whilst the print resolution is 9600 x 2400 dpi.
