Canon MF753Cdw II vs G3270: Which Fits Your Documents and Connection?

Choose the MF753Cdw II for routine two-sided scan batches or a required Ethernet connection. Choose the G3270 if you can place originals on the platen yourself and USB or Wi-Fi suits your setup; accept its hands-on document placement as the compromise.

The buying question

Do you need automatic handling of both sides of document batches or direct Ethernet attachment, or will a platen and USB/Wi-Fi meet your needs?

Batch-scan automation and direct wired-network attachment versus accepting hands-on platen scanning and a USB/Wi-Fi connection.

Quick verdict

When the recommendation changes
  • If either two-sided scan batches or direct Ethernet becomes mandatory, favor the MF753Cdw II.
  • If neither requirement applies, these features alone are not a reason to pay more; compare the current offers and your printing needs.

The differences that matter

Two Sided Scan Workflow

Canon Color imageCLASS MF753Cdw II (White, 7185C011)

One-pass two-sided scanning through a 50-sheet feeder (20 lb. bond; eligible originals).[1]

Canon MegaTank PIXMA G3270 (Black, 5805C002)

Single-sided flatbed scanning; the documented multi-page PDF procedure asks you to place each next original on the platen.[2, 3, 4]

What this changes: For recurring double-sided document stacks, choose the MF753Cdw II. For occasional originals, the G3270 remains suitable if repeated platen placement is acceptable.[1, 2, 3, 4]

The better fit depends on your priorities

Direct Ethernet Attachment

Canon Color imageCLASS MF753Cdw II (White, 7185C011)

Built-in Ethernet, plus USB and Wi-Fi.[1]

Canon MegaTank PIXMA G3270 (Black, 5805C002)

USB and Wi-Fi; the complete rear-panel diagram shows a USB connection to a computer, with no Ethernet socket.[2, 3, 5]

What this changes: A required Ethernet cable directly into the printer points to the MF753Cdw II. If USB to a computer or Wi-Fi suits the location, the G3270 remains an option.[1, 2, 3, 5]

The better fit depends on your priorities

The better fit depends on your priorities

Either can fit. If the G3270 offer is lower, accepting its platen workflow is a concrete way to avoid paying extra for unused batch handling.

Value and trade-offs

One or both observed offers have eligibility conditions, so no unrestricted price difference is shown.

If the MF753Cdw II costs more at checkout, justify that difference with a task or connection you actually need. Neither requirement applies merely because you want a home-office printer.

There is not enough verified price history here to recommend buying now or waiting.

Limitations

  • This comparison addresses scan handling and connection fit, not measured scan quality, print quality, speed, reliability or running costs.
  • Feeder use depends on suitable originals; a capacity figure does not make every document suitable for automatic feeding.
  • Check support for your computer and intended scanning software before ordering.

Questions shoppers ask

Does multi-page PDF scanning mean automatic document feeding?

No. In the G3270’s documented scan-to-email workflow, you continue the PDF by placing the next original on the platen and starting another scan. One PDF file can therefore still involve handling each original yourself.

Is a USB cable to a computer the same as Ethernet into the printer?

No. The G3270 manual identifies its USB port as a computer connection. If your purchase requirement is a network cable plugged directly into the printer, choose the MF753Cdw II.
