Overview

The Canon Ivy 2nd Generation PV-223-PW is a compact inkjet printer designed primarily for office and small business use. It employs a 2-color ink cartridge system optimized for efficient printing with moderate resolution.

It features a mechanical paper feed mechanism with manual feed support for specialized media. The Ivy utilizes parallel port connectivity, common for late 1990s office equipment. Its print speed averages about 3 pages per minute for black-and-white prints. The device is engineered for basic document management tasks rather than high-volume or photo-quality outputs.

Key Advantages

The Canon Ivy 2nd Generation printer offers a compact and lightweight design suitable for small office spaces. It provides a cost-effective solution with low ink consumption due to its 2-color cartridge system. The manual feed option allows the handling of different media sizes beyond common office paper. Its parallel port connectivity was standard for many PCs during its release time, ensuring broad compatibility. The device is simple to operate with user-friendly controls. Maintenance is straightforward with easily replaceable ink cartridges and minimal moving parts.

Limitations

The printer's maximum resolution of 600 x 300 dpi limits high-quality image printing capabilities. It lacks modern connectivity options like USB or wireless, making integration with current systems difficult. Print speed is relatively slow, unsuitable for high-volume printing demands. The 2-color cartridge system restricts color printing to basic hues, not full-color images. Paper handling is basic and lacks automatic duplexing features. Given its age, finding replacement parts and consumables can be challenging.
