The Canon ImageClass MF3010 multifunction monolaser printer is best suited for dorm rooms and small offices that require a simple laser printer for outputting e-mails, Web articles, recipes, and other print jobs that dont require full-color output.

Priced at 150, its one of the least expensive overall values for an all-in-one laser (print, scan, copy), but the trade-off is that you dont get extra features like an autodocument feeder for hands-free scans, or the benefit of multiuser networking.

The printer is also relatively lightweight at a little less than 17 pounds, but Canon also eases the load with two ridged inlets on the bottom that help with transportation and storage.

The new modular design is easy to use and gets the printer out of the way until you need to use it.

Though it may be hard to decipher at first, the operation panel just below the scanner lid is intuitive to use once you understand the meaning of the different icons.

To reduce its environmental footprint, Canon omits a physical manual in the box in favor of an online e-manual, where you can view a comprehensive breakdown of every icon in the panel, including indicators for paper jams, keys to reduce and add the number of copies, and a small 1-digit LED display that indicates the copy setting or status of the machine.

As stated earlier, the printer lacks both an autodocument feeder (ADF) and autoduplexing (double-sided printing), and you can only connect it to a single host computer using the USB port on the back (no cable is provided).

Additionally, the copy machine is stunted by a 29-sheet maximum copying capacity, and the smaller scanner bay is limited to 8.5x11-inch prints at 600dpi by 600dpi.

To put it in perspective, the heftier HP LaserJet Pro M1212nf can scan up at 1,200dpi and make up to 99 copies in a session using the hands-free ADF.

We recommend that printer instead if you need to hook up several computers to the same printer, but keep in mind that the M1212nf is 50 more and takes up significantly more space than the MF3010.

The MF3010 is compatible with almost all PCs running Mac and Windows operating systems, and all the drivers you need come on a single disc in the box.

Installation is as simple and takes only a few minutes since theres no wireless detail to fill in, and you can also install two extra tools: MF Toolbox and Presto PageManager.

MF Toolbox is a crucial download if you plan to use the scanner or copy functions.

It acts as a shortcut tool to specify the scanning mode, edit the resolution of a scan, adjust the document size, and change the file type to ultimately save your scanned image.

The MF3010 also takes advantage of Canons new ID card copy feature that lets you make duplicates of both sides of an ID card using the 100 percent zoom ratio in the Toolbox.
