Product details
The Canon PIXMA G3430 combines document printing, flatbed scanning and copying in one A4 desktop printer. Its refillable ink-tank design allows ink to be replenished from compatible bottles. The built-in wireless connection gives the printer a place on a shared home or small-office network, while USB offers a direct connection to a computer.
Printing and supplies
Document speeds are Approx. 11 ipm mono and 6.0 ipm colour (ISO/IEC 24734). Maximum print resolution is up to 4800 × 1200 dpi. The ink system uses GI-41S black, cyan, magenta and yellow ink bottles; optional high-yield GI-41 bottles. Select the correct paper and quality settings for the job when moving between text documents and photographs.
Paper handling
The paper input is rear tray: up to 100 sheets of plain paper. Supported formats include A4, A5, A6, B5, Letter, Legal, Executive, 10 × 15 cm, 13 × 18 cm, 20 × 25 cm, envelopes DL/COM10/C5; custom width 55–216 mm and length 89–1200 mm. The printer accepts plain paper, supported canon photo papers, envelopes, cardstock, greeting cards, magnetic and restickable photo paper.
Two-sided printing uses manual operation, so the paper is turned and reloaded when prompted. This makes it practical to prepare double-sided documents without claiming an automatic duplex mechanism.
Scanning and copying
The scanner is a CIS flatbed; 600 × 1200 dpi optical; A4/Letter. Copying options include up to 99 copies; 25–400% zoom; id and borderless copy. The flatbed supports individual sheets and photographs, and provides a straightforward way to digitize documents or create a copy without a separate scanner. Position the original carefully on the glass before starting the scan or copy job.
Connectivity and workspace
Connections include Hi-Speed USB Type-B; Wi-Fi IEEE 802.11 b/g/n; Wireless Direct; AirPrint; Mopria. Configure the printer on the intended wireless network, or connect it directly by USB for a single-computer setup. Install the appropriate Canon driver or supported mobile printing app for the device you plan to use.
The printer measures 416 × 337 × 177 mm with trays retracted; 416 × 557 × 268 mm with trays extended (W × D × H) and weighs approx. 6.0 kg. Power requirements are AC 100–240 V, 50/60 Hz; copying approx. 15 W. Allow room for loading the rear tray, removing printed pages and opening the scanner lid. A stable desk or shelf with accessible power and network coverage makes daily use more convenient.
