Canon All-in-One Printer TS3720

Technical details

A home printer that only handles printing leaves you reaching for another device when you need a copy or scan. The Canon PIXMA TS3720 brings all three functions together, with wireless setup and a simple LCD screen for everyday home tasks. It prints on one side only, so that tradeoff matters if double-sided pages are part of your routine.

The maker lists approximate print speeds of 7.7 images per minute in black and 4 in color. Its 1.5-inch segment LCD is intended for basic on-printer controls, while two replaceable ink cartridges handle color printing.

• Functions: print, copy, and scan
• Printing: single-sided only
• Wireless: dual-band Wi-Fi at 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz
• Ink: two replaceable cartridges
• Display: 1.5-inch segment LCD

The listed speeds are approximate, according to the maker, and describe a modest home-use focus rather than a printer positioned for heavy workloads. The two-cartridge setup keeps replacement straightforward, but it is worth considering whether that format suits how you expect to use color ink.

Getting the most from it

This model is aimed at basic home printing, not a dedicated print-only setup. For example, you could print a form, make a copy of a paper document, then scan another page without switching devices. That mix of functions is useful when printing is occasional and the desk has room for one all-in-one machine rather than separate equipment.

Wireless setup can be completed without a computer, and the dual-band connection supports either 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz Wi-Fi. That gives you options for joining a home network, but the product details do not specify particular phones, apps, or operating systems, so don’t assume a specific mobile workflow from the wireless feature alone.

Usage tips

Think about the kind of pages you print most. A short black-and-white document or a small color job fits the stated speed range better than a steady stream of pages. The LCD gives you a direct way to work with the printer’s basic controls, it is a small segment display, not a large screen for detailed previews.

Single-sided printing is the clearest practical limit. If you regularly print long documents and want the printer to handle both sides, a model with duplex printing would suit that job better. If you mostly print occasional pages and value copy and scan functions in the same device, this Canon covers a broader set of basic tasks than a print-only alternative.

Before you decide

Can it copy and scan as well as print? Yes. The listed functions include printing, copying, and scanning.

Does it print on both sides? No. The listed printing is single-sided only.

Can Wi-Fi be set up without a computer? Yes. The product description says wireless setup can be completed without a computer.

Buying verdict

A solid pick if you want one wireless home printer for occasional printing, copying, and scanning, and single-sided output works for your documents. You May want to skip it if your routine depends on double-sided printing or a higher stated print speed. Compared with buying a simpler print-only device, the TS3720 offers copy and scan functions in the same unit, compared with a more demanding office setup, its stated speed and one-sided printing are meaningful constraints.
