I did, however, see some minor streaking in a couple of backgrounds, but they were barely noticeable. Hairlines (rules under 1 point) printed clearly and unbroken from end to end. Business graphics looked good, too, with smooth-flowing gradients and dark, even fills for the most part. Standard serif and sans-serif text came out well-shaped and evenly spaced down to the smallest text size (4 points) we test, and larger type-say, 60 or 70 points-printed with smooth, unjagged edges. One of the MF232w's more attractive attributes is how well it prints text, business graphics, and grayscale photographs.
Most of the other monochrome laser AIOs discussed here also printed the same photos in well under 30 seconds. But then again, that's not unusual for laser printers to print photographs quickly. It converted these colorful and highly detailed images to grayscale and printed them at an average of 8 seconds each. I also tested how quickly the MF232w printed our two sample 4-by-6-inch snapshots. Unfortunately, you'll have to step up to one of Canon's higher-end AIOs, such as the imageClass D1520, to get Secure Print for securing print jobs with PIN numbers and the ability to assign department IDs to restrict access with a username and password. But you do get the ability to monitor and configure the printer from its built-in secure website (HTTPS), as well as IPS/MAC address filtering for controlling where on your network and the internet traffic to the printer comes from. Since this is an entry-level AIO, the MF232w is a bit short on security features. There is no support for USB thumb drives, and the MF232w cannot connect to several of the numerous popular cloud sites available, since you need the ability to work with apps to connect to some cloud sites, and that requires a graphical interface display (which the MF232w lacks). Canon Print Business helps you connect to various cloud sites and print from email. In addition to Wi-Fi Direct, the MF232w supports several third-party mobile connectivity options, such as Apple AirPrint, Google Cloud Print, Mopria Print Services, and Canon's own Canon Print Business. It's also important to note that the same printer as the MF232w with a different name, the imageClass WiFi MF232W Monochrome Laser Printer/Copier/Scanner, is sold exclusively at Walmart, without toner for about $85 and with toner for about $144. Like the MF232w, the Canon D570 lacks an ADF, though it does support auto-duplexing and has a slightly higher print speed rating (28 pages per minute, or ppm, versus 24ppm).
The all-black MF232w looks like several of Canon's other entry-level AIOs, including the aforementioned MF249dw, the imageClass MF227dw, another top pick, and the imageClass D570. That makes it a sensible choice for low-volume printing and copying from a home-based or small or micro office or workgroup, or as a low-volume personal laser AIO. What you do get with this sub-$200 laser AIO, however, is decent print speeds and good output quality for the price, as well as competitive running costs. Granted, it lacks an automatic document feeder (ADF) and an auto-duplexing print engine for printing two-sided pages automatically. The Canon imageClass MF232w ($189) is a monochrome all-in-one (AIO) laser printer that's a step below the Editors' Choice Canon imageClass MF249dw.
