Key Advantages

The Canon PIXMA MG2520 offers excellent photo print quality for its class due to high print resolution and Canon's proprietary ink technology. It is a budget-friendly device suited for users seeking multifunction capabilities without complex features. The compact design helps save desk space and contributes to energy efficiency with low power consumption modes. It supports borderless printing, which is advantageous for photo enthusiasts looking for attractive printouts without white margins. The device’s simple user interface and setup make it accessible to novice users. Additionally, it provides reliable document printing with adequate speed for home office needs.

Limitations

The MG2520 printer lacks wireless or network connectivity options, restricting usage to direct USB connections which may limit flexibility in modern environments. It does not include features like duplex (double-sided) printing, which can increase paper usage and operational costs. Scanning resolutions and speeds are basic compared to advanced office scanners, making it less suitable for high-volume or detailed scanning tasks. The printer uses individual ink cartridges which may not be as cost-efficient compared to other ink systems like tanks or cartridges with refill options. Its small paper input capacity may require frequent refills for large print jobs. Moreover, driver support might be limited on newer operating systems as this is an older model.
