Canon's PIXMA MX320 is at the low end of the company's series of SOHO all-in-one printers. It has the similar necessary design as the rest of the existing series, with the Automatic Document Feed (ADF) built into the top of the device, with a border including the control panel.

The ADF has a fold-out supply tray which can acquire up to 30 sheets, with the flatbed scanner, even though a Contact Image Sensor (CIS) device, gives astonishingly excellent results. The control panel includes a 2-line by 16-character mono LCD display, lacking a backlight as well as without the black-on-white displays which Canon's exposure material shows. There's a fax number pad with large buttons for mode selection as well as black and colour copies.

There are no memory card slots; still there is a sole USB socket at the base of the front panel, which works as equally a PictBridge connection as well as for plugging in a USB drive. You can print from both these sources as well as scan out to USB.

Print quality is normally excellent, although with a small fuzziness around bold characters with obvious dither patterns in part of colour fill. Picture print quality, even while this device is not planned mainly for the photograph devotee, is outstanding, with natural colors as well as good levels of feature in both bright as well as dark areas of an image. Copies are fair, with slight noticeable fading.

There are two ink cartridges in the MX320, one black as well as the additional tri-colour, with each of these is obtainable in two capacities. Using the high-powered cartridges gives page costs of 3.4p for black with 8.1p for colour. These are both in the mid-range for entry-level all-in-ones, although the printer might confirm a little more exclusive to run by not using detach cartridges for every colour.
