Review on Inkjet MFP Canon PIXMA MG2540S, color, A4 by Janis Saikovskis ᠌

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Terrible product, not satisfied with the purchase!

Refilling cartridges. First, we launch the factory software. Canon Quick Menu, Starting My Printer, Printer Settings, Maintenance, Printer Status Information, Options, Untick Enable Status Monitor. 1 Press the STOP button for 15 blinks, turn off the power and remove the cartridges. 2 Peel off the stickers and drill holes in the round depressions in the plastic. 3 Pour paint through syringes in strict order! 1 (upper cavity) red paint 3 ml, 2 (left cavity) blue paint 3 ml, 3 (right cavity) yellow paint 3 ml. During pouring, the paint may flow from the nozzle, protect the surface of the table from the practically indelible paint! 4 After refueling, install the cartridges, turn on the power and hold down the STOP button for 5 blinks. 5 We use until the heads in the cartridges die. Googled the bonus. On this printer, you can permanently turn off the ink level, not programmatically, but at the hardware level. To do this, you need to completely empty the running out cartridge, running a few pages, until a corresponding warning pops up that the cartridge is empty. Then, without closing this warning, hold down the yellow button on the printer for 10 seconds. Ink monitoring for this cartridge is permanently disabled. In general, it’s better to buy a normal MFP that costs from 5k, everything below is just some kind of consumer goods with truncated functionality.

Pros
  • Moderate print quality for the price. Light weight, will not cause much inconvenience when thrown into the trash, CANON took care that it was not hard for us .
Cons
  • The device itself is a complete failure! Nowhere is it written that printing on glossy (shiny) paper is not supported. If you want to print an insert on expensive glossy paper for PS3 or XBOX 360 boxes, then look elsewhere! The cartridges in the kit are 30-sheet test probes, they are needed solely to check the operation of the device itself, these are not full-fledged cartridges. So do not think that it is cheaper to buy a new printer in the place where you buy a new cartridge. The price of a cartridge is on average 1200+, which is not far from the cost of the printer itself, I took the printer for 1750 + delivery of 290. Prints with large margins. A4 sheets prints only with margins, do not even dream of printing a large picture on the entire A4 sheet on this product, for such functionality you are in the direction of printers from 5k at least.

When you urgently need to print or scan a small amount of documents at home, it helps a lot.
