Canon imagePROGRAF TM-240 MFP Lm24 – A1 Multifunction Printer
Compact, capable, and cost-effective
The Canon imagePROGRAF TM-240 MFP Lm24 is an affordable and space-saving A1 multifunction printer, perfect for smaller design offices, consultants, schools, and low-volume users who still need reliable, professional-quality printing and scanning.
Combining Canon’s TM-240 printer with the Lm24 CIS scanner, this model provides an easy-to-use, all-in-one solution for printing, copying, and scanning large-format drawings. It’s designed to deliver high-quality CAD, technical, and poster prints quickly, without the high upfront costs of more advanced models.
Despite being Canon’s most budget-friendly A1 MFP, the TM-240 MFP Lm24 still features Canon’s renowned pigment inks and media handling capability, including the ability to use longer 175-metre rolls (with optional adapters), giving it a key advantage over competitors that are limited to 50-metre media rolls.
Key features

- Ideal for users needing print, copy, and scan capability in one compact system without breaking the budget

High-quality pigment ink
The TM-240 uses Canon’s 5-colour pigment-based ink system (including Matte Black) for durable, water-resistant line drawings and vibrant posters, along with new high-density Magenta.
Longer media rolls
It supports up to 175-metre rolls on 3″ cores, far exceeding typical entry-level MFPs which are limited to 50m rolls (3″ cores optional).
Compact, quiet operation
It’s ideal for office environments with reduced noise levels and a small footprint.
55ml ink tanks
Its lower-cost, low-capacity ink tanks are perfect for light-duty use, which helps keep the initial investment low while still delivering Canon quality.
Smart software
The TM-240 also includes Canon Direct Print Plus and PosterArtist for easy printing – from PDF and TIFF files, to JPEG images.
Our take
At Plot it, we think the Canon TM-240 MFP Lm24 represents excellent value for money for those who need multifunction capability at a lower cost. While it’s designed for smaller print volumes, it still benefits from Canon’s latest generation print engine and genuine pigment inks for long-lasting results.
For users printing more frequently, we recommend considering the Canon TM-255 MFP, which features larger 160ml / 300ml inks and an integrated HDD, helping to reduce running costs and enhancing workflow for busier environments.
However, for entry-level users who want A1 print and scan capability with longer roll support and professional results, the TM-240 MFP Lm24 is an excellent, budget-friendly choice.
