Unlike more expensive PIXMA models, there is no front-loading paper tray, so you'll have to keep the rear of the PIXMA MP270 accessible. It has the same basic layout as other PIXMA printers - a top-mounted scanning bed, controls on the top-right fascia, and a rear-loading paper tray. The Canon PIXMA MP270 sits between the ultra-budget iP2700 and the slightly more expensive MP490. Reasonably good scan quality makes the PIXMA MP270 an easy device with which to digitise your old photos and documents, but its printing ability is nothing special and the device’s control panel interface can be confusing. With a price tag of $79 - to throw that into perspective, it's hardly more expensive than buying two full replacement ink cartridges - it’s surprisingly fully featured, offering scanning, photocopying and, of course, printing. Canon's PIXMA MP270 is one of the cheapest inkjet-based multifunctions on the market.
