Even though I had no trouble printing documents from most programs, including Microsoft Excel and PowerPoint, trying to print a Word document gave me a flashing error light on the printer's front panel. I also ran into a potentially more bothersome setup issue, which I had also seen with the MF264dw II. (Canon says it's not aware of a problem with the downloaded version, but it is investigating to see if it can confirm it, and presumably fix it.) In addition to Ethernet, which I used for my tests, connection options include USB, Wi-Fi, and Wi-Fi Direct. ![]() I only had to tell the program what connection to use, and it handled everything else automatically. ![]() When I switched to the version on the bundled disc, however, everything went smoothly. I first tried downloading the software from Canon's website to be sure I had the latest version, but the setup program didn't work, even after a second download to check that the first hadn't dropped a bit or two in the transfer. Software installation can be just as easy, as long as you use the included disc. ![]() Even the toner cartridge and separate drum come already installed, so when you turn on the printer, it's ready to go. Setup consists of little more than putting it in place and installing the software. The MF269dw II weighs 29.3 pounds and measures 15 by 15.4 by 16 inches (HWD), making it a little too big to share a desk with, though you'll want it nearby for feeding pages into the single-sheet bypass tray when needed. Setting Up the imageClass MF269dw II: A Straightforward Process Whether you need faxing or not, if you regularly scan or copy duplex documents, the MF269dw II is of obvious interest. It also adds a more talented automatic document feeder (ADF) than either of those models, delivering automatic duplexing (two-sided scanning) and a greater page capacity to let it handle longer documents in bigger bites. It offers the same printing capabilities as the Canon imageClass MF264dw II, making it suitable for light-to-moderate-duty printing in a small office, and adds faxing, like the MF267dw II (which is otherwise identical). The Canon imageClass MF269dw II mono laser all-in-one (AIO) printer ($289) is the top-of-the-line model in Canon's MF260 series. ![]() Best Hosted Endpoint Protection and Security Software.
