Two soft keys let you select options on the screen as well. The various tasks and the settings menu are laid out in a ring on the LCD, and turning the scrollwheel turns the menu ring.
Instead of having task buttons for toggling between scan, copy, and print tasks, the Pixma MP810 employs a scrollwheel design for navigating menus. It's a bit disappointing that you get a smaller LCD for the same price, but 3 inches is still very generous, and the images look great on the screen. The 3-inch preview LCD is set into the underside of the cover and is half an inch smaller than the LCD on the Pixma MP800. The panel is embedded in the scanner lid, under a cover that flips up. The big change in this iteration is the design and location of the control panel. If you need fax functionality, look for an office-oriented all-in-one, such as the HP OfficeJet 7410 or the Canon Pixma MP830, though you'll lose out on print quality with either of those printers. We preferred its feature set and print quality to similarly priced offerings from HP. As far as we know, there isn't a network-ready version of the Pixma MP810.) Between its great print quality and satisfactory print speeds, the updated Pixma MP810 is worth its $300 price, which places it towards the upper end of the Pixma line. (If you want built-in networking, both wired and wireless, check out the Canon Pixma MP800R.
It's designed for home users and amateur photo hobbyists and doesn't come network ready, which means you'll have to find a workaround if you want to share the printer with other users. If you already have a Pixma MP800 or MP800R, don't worry about updating to this model unless you really need better print quality, as it offers the same feature set and print speeds. It offers the fast speeds of last year's model, which we already liked, but improves on print quality, while making minor cosmetic tweaks in adjusting the placement of the control panel and slightly shrinking the LCD. The Canon Pixma MP810 is the 2006 update to the Pixma MP800, a photo-centric all-in-one inkjet printer.
