One feature you won’t find in consumer AIOs is Records of Use.
(MPS is similar to the Pixma Printing Solutions, which you can read more about here.) You can print wirelessly from mobile devices with Apple AirPrint, Google Cloud Print, or Wi-Fi Direct print. MPS lets you print directly from Cloud services like Dropbox, Facebook, and Twitter. This is easily accomplished by registering the device with Canon’s IJ Cloud server first, and you can then print from a smartphone or tablet using the Maxify Printing Solutions (MPS) for iOS or Android. To use the Cloud capabilities, the device must be connected (wired or wireless) to the Internet via a network. Realizing that today’s users are increasingly relying on the cloud as a delivery method for digital documents, Cloud functionality plays a big role in this printer. On the Home screen you’ll find commands for Copy, Scan, Fax, and Cloud. The majority of controls are handled via the display. The control panel has a large 3-inch color touchscreen alongside typical MFP buttons. Just use a high-quality paper.Ĭanon PGI-2200 XL ink ($84)If you make a lot of copies, go for the XL large-capacity cartridges. If you aren’t going wireless, get one that’s long enough, like this one from Belkin.Ĭanon Photo Paper Glossy II ($19)Even though it isn’t a photo printer, the Maxify MB5320 can handle this function with skill.
Up your game and the get the most out of your gear with the following extras, hand-picked by our editors:īelkin Hi-Speed USB 2.0 Cable (10 feet) ($6)Most printers don’t come with USB cables. However, higher resolutions are required if you need to enlarge the scanned document while keeping the quality fine. The scanner has an optical resolution of 1200 x 1200 dpi, which is a lower than many less-expensive all-in-ones we’ve tested for business users, that resolution is sufficient for faxing, copying, or even scanning to optical character recognition (OCR) software. One-pass duplexing not only speeds up the scanning process (especially if you have lots of double-sided pages to scan), but also minimizes occurrences of feed jams. The MB5320’s fold-out ADF has a capacity for 30 sheets, and provides one-pass duplexing, which means it can scan both sides of a document simultaneously – no need to manually flip the page. It weighs in at less than 29 pounds it’s not so overly heavy that you can’t pick up or put on a desk, but it’s by no means compact. The MB5320 is a sleek but big black cube with rounded top edges, measuring 18.3 x 18.1 inches and standing 13.9 inches high. Since the Maxify is a brand-new lineup of inkjet printers, Canon gave it a fresh look that’s more fitting with small office environments. If you operate a business out of a home, the MB5320 can serve double-duty for work and play – and that premium price could pay off in the end. Still, those same features that make it attractive for a business user also make it just as attractive for a home user that does a lot of heavy-duty printing and copying. Enter the new Maxify series.Īt $400, Maxify’s MB5320 multifunction printer (MFP) – the flagship model – is priced at the upper-end of the SOHO/SMB market, and is definitely targeted at a business user. The company has a line of Pixma models designed for this market, but it decided what it really needs is a high-performance workhorse inkjet machine that offers large paper capacities, ink yields, and cloud connectivity. But what sector the company feels it hasn’t addressed well enough are small office/home office (SOHO) and small business (SMB) users. Canon has a variety of printers that meet the needs of different users – from the home consumer to graphic designers and office workers.
