As with printing, there is no duplexing with copying or scanning.Īs with most printers and MFPs these days, ink cartridges are offered in standard and higher-yield models. Copying, as is common with this type of device, is more a convenience than a true utility, and best only for very occasional use, though the 20-page ADF is nice when you have multipage documents to copy or scan. We also tested the copy and scan functions. For printing school reports and the like, print quality is very much acceptable. The colors were accurate, but slightly darker than those in the reference prints. The prints made with the photo paper were much better. As is usual with inkjet-based printers, the prints made on standard paper (the copy paper and Hammermill) were considerably under-saturated due to ink wicking into the paper.

We made prints of our test images on standard copy paper, Hammermill Premium Inkjet and Laser Paper, and Canon’s Photo Paper Plus Semi-Gloss. If you check two-sided printing on the print driver, the MFP prints the top side of each page, then directs you to flip the pile over and reinsert the prints into the input paper tray to print the other side. Automatic duplex printing (printing on both sides of a page) is not available. This document set is primarily black text with a small color logo on each of the four pages.

Our testing, which uses the 4-page ISO Word document, yielded an average of 8ipm over several runs. Once connected to your network, and assuming the network has Internet access, the printer can be used with any of the networking options we listed earlier.Ĭanon rates the print speed of the Pixma MX492 as 8.8 images-per-minute (ipm, the standard Canon uses) in black and 4.4ipm in color. We installed the MFP using USB, but Wi-Fi setup is simple, especially if you have a WPS-enabled router, since it’s just a matter of pushing a button on the router and letting the MFP and router find each other and pair.

Canon also offers a second creative/crafts utility, Canon Creative Park Premium, though this has to be downloaded-it’s not included on the install CD. The install menu gives you a choice of which utilities you want installed, including Canon’s Quick Menu and My Image Garden.

This took us several tries before we got it right.Īfter that, the software installation went quick and easy. They have to be inserted at an angle then clicked upwards into position. We also had a tiny bit of trouble getting the cartridges correctly installed. This approach keeps the manufacturing costs down, but greatly increases the operating costs since when one of the colors in the tri-color cartridge runs out, you need to replace the cartridge even if the other two colors still have available ink.Ĭanon was one of the first inkjet printer vendors to offer individual inks in its BJ-600 printer more than a decade ago, so seeing the return of the tri-color cartridge is disappointing. The MX492 uses only two ink cartridges-a black cartridge, and a tri-color cartridge with cyan, magenta, and yellow inks. Setup these days is a simple matter of removing packing material, installing ink cartridges and software, and telling the install routine how you want to connect the unit. Directly above this is a door that is hinged down and opens to expose the print head carrier, where you insert the black and tri-color ink cartridges. The output tray is located above the input tray and extends to catch the printed output. The input tray is located at the bottom of the printer and can hold up to 100 sheets of letter or legal size paper as well as adjust to smaller sizes of paper or photo paper and envelopes. Cloud-based printing using AirPrint, Google Print, and Canon’s own Pixma Print Services are available, as is a scan to the cloud feature if your network has Internet access.īoth the input and output paper trays are available when the front panel is pulled down.

You also don’t get wired Ethernet, but you can still connect the MFP to a network using Wi-Fi or directly to a PC or Mac via USB, of course. You don’t get a color LCD or touchscreen for your hundred bucks, but that’s probably okay
