Canon PIXMA MX360 Driver for Windows, Mac, and Setup Guide

Canon PIXMA MX360 Office All-In-One is a suitable low-cost MFP (multifunction printer) for a home-based company owner who wishes to connect a printer directly to his or her computer. It can print, copy, scan, fax, and has an automated document feeder (ADF). Above-average writing quality, as well as strong visuals and photographs, flesh out the picture.

The MX360 measures 7.8 by 18.1 by 16.4 inches (HWD) and weighs 18 pounds. It features rounded corners and white sides. The ADF and input tray on top are bordered by a black beveled strip that tilts the front panel forward, which houses the display, alphanumeric fax keyboard, and a number of function buttons.

The Pixma MX360 is also simple to install on both a PC and a Mac. The control panel is well-organized and offers scan-to-PC capabilities.

Performance and Features

Canon PIXMA MX360 has few paper-handling options. It does, however, include a 30-sheet automated document feeder as well as a letter/A4-size scanner bed. The ADF even pops open to allow for quick removal of any paper jams that may develop.

The vertical rear paper feed holds 100 sheets of plain paper, which is plenty. However, despite the fact that you may scan two-sided from any platform, two-sided printing is manual only and altogether inaccessible on the Mac.

The Pixma MX360 is a subpar performance, yet it is adequate for household usage. On both the PC and Mac, text pages with a few simple monochrome pictures produced at 5.6 pages per minute. A half-page photo printed on ordinary paper on the PC took roughly 26 seconds, or 2.3 ppm, at default settings.

The identical shot took 45 seconds to print at better settings on Canon’s own glossy photo paper (1.3 ppm). A full-page high-resolution photo printed from the Mac crawled out at the pitiful rate of 0.3 ppm. At 600 dpi, preview scans took around 6 seconds, while complete images took about 50 seconds.

Output Quality

The output quality of the Pixma MX360 varies. The most appealing type of printing is monochrome: text is clear and precise, and grayscale is beautifully represented. Color designs printed on plain paper appear overexposed, with a warm color palette that leans pink.

Canon PIXMA MX360 is less evident on Canon’s own glossy paper, but details are still lost in photographs’ brighter sections. Colors can be adjusted somewhat using the printer driver’s settings under the Effects tab. Scans were a tad dark, but monochrome and color copies looked great.
