Limitations
The Canon MG2120 lacks wireless connectivity such as Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, limiting its use to direct USB connections. It has a relatively low paper input capacity compared to larger office printers which can impact productivity in high-volume environments. The print speed is moderate, with up to 7.7 images per minute (ipm) for black-and-white documents and 4.0 ipm for color prints, which may not satisfy users with heavy printing needs.
