Smart ink-filling design helps you in easy re-filling of the link without wastage, as in DCP-T500W, you will fill ink @ 45 Degrees.

This printer sucks... had a hard time configuring it compared to competitors. I want to return it or better burn it.
ReplyDeleteWhat happen?
Deletedoes it has duplex printing?
ReplyDeleteWhat is the maximum size does the copier & scanner supports? Most multifunction printers only aupports A4 size for scan & copy. I hope, it supports legal size. Thank you
ReplyDeleteDCp-T500W purchased following my canon print head malfunction. The dealer checked it over, filled the ink tanks. The only thing which took a little longer than expected in the \set up was wifi, but using the wizard no problem. Scans immaculate, trying to figure if I can duplex. Otherwise so far so good.
