Question 1

Will this be compatible with windows 10?

Accepted Answer

I can confirm that this printer is not yet compatible with Windows 10 (final release). Emailed Canon. Received response that I need to continue to check their website as they do not have an ETA for Win10 driver.

Question 2

is mf227dw compatible with window10 I now have  windows 8 and my computer asks to update to windows 10 can I safely update  and keep my printer?

Accepted Answer

I do not recommend upgrading to Windows 10.  I have not been able to scan since I upgraded.

Question 3

Is this a fax also?  What do you mean multinational?  Has wifi also?

Accepted Answer

Yes it is a fax and has WiFi to connect to computers and is compatible with Apple 'Air Print" for direct printing from iPhones and iPads. Multinational is a bit of a misnomer, though. It is multinational in that it is compatible with 110-127V 50 or 60 HZ but not for countries with 100V (like Japan) or 240V power (like Europe) for homes and businesses.

Question 4

Can this printer scan multiple pages?

Accepted Answer

Just got the printer a couple of weeks ago.  Seems to scan about 5 pages through the feeder pretty well, but jams if I try to scan more than that.

Question 5

This is a send only fax?

Accepted Answer

My understanding is that it both sends and receives faxes (of course it must be connected to a telephone line to do either). I have not personally received a fax on it so far.

Question 6

Is the manual feed in front or back?  Will the manual feed accept several sheets and feed them in one at a time (Example: for multiple check printing)

Accepted Answer

The manual feed is in the front, located just above the paper tray  cassette on the bottom. You pull down a small drop-down door, and feed a sheet. Note the singular 'sheet', as that is all it accepts. Sorry, you cannot feed a stack of paper (or cheque stock) in the manual feed tray. Just one sheet.
On the plus side, the printer is licketdy fast and otherwise, a fabulous printer/scanner. --jf

Question 7

How fast is the automatic document feeder? do the pages zip through or do they go through slowly?

Accepted Answer

I would say on the slower side, for my needs it's perfect as I do more scanning that actual copying.  I've very pleased with this machine.  I do all the accounting for a small property management company and it fills all my needs.

Question 8

Does it come with a print cartridge?

Accepted Answer

Yes but small volume cartridge but enough to get you stare

Question 9

The Canon MF227dw specs states it comes with a starter cartridge. How many copies does this make compared to a regular cartridge that makes 2400 copies?

Accepted Answer

We just finished the starter cartridge and got 1600 copies from it. That is about 2/3 what a normal replacement cartridge, 2400 copies, is supposed to do.

Question 10
