Discontinued. Canon replaced the MF240 series with the MF260 series, which uses Canon 051 toner, but Canon 137 is still widely sold, including our compatible version.

What imageCLASS MF244dw owners ask

These come from owner reviews at Best Buy and Amazon and Consumer Reports' listing, answered in our words.

Does it scan two-sided?

No. A Best Buy reviewer gave it two stars because the listing claimed duplex scanning; the 35-sheet feeder scans one side. The MF249dw is the model with two-sided scanning.

Why are my scans so poor?

The most common complaint. Raise the scan density, scan at 300 dpi, and clean the glass; it's fine for documents, not for photos.

Why does it say "non-Canon cartridge" with genuine toner?

Usually an expired or long-stored cartridge whose chip has aged out. Reseat it and power-cycle; our compatibles carry a fresh chip and are replaced under our 1-year guarantee if refused.

Does it fax?

No. The MF247dw and MF249dw add fax on the same engine with the same toner.

Will Windows 11 find it?

Yes, with Canon's current UFR II driver or AirPrint/Mopria over the network.

MF244dw quirks worth knowing

Prints two-sided automatically at up to 28 pages a minute, with a 250-sheet cassette.
Wi-Fi, Ethernet and USB are all built in.
Consumer Reports tested it with the Canon 137, so the cartridge match is beyond doubt.
