Key Advantages
Canon PIXMA MG2522 offers ease of use with simple operation and quick first print output. The integrated ink system with two cartridges allows economical replacement while maintaining color print quality. It is compact and lightweight, making it suitable for small workspace environments. The device delivers decent print speed with up to 7.7 images per minute (ipm) for black and white and 4 ipm for color prints, suitable for light office tasks. It supports copying and scanning functionality along with printing, increasing its versatility for basic office needs. Low power consumption modes help reduce energy usage, providing cost efficiency in everyday operations.
Limitations
MG2522 does not support wireless or Ethernet connectivity, requiring direct USB connection to a computer. It has a relatively small paper tray capacity at about 60 sheets, limiting bulk printing tasks. The printer lacks automatic duplex printing, necessitating manual paper flipping for double-sided print jobs. There is no LCD screen or advanced display, limiting direct printer control and settings configuration. It is tailored primarily for basic printing and scanning without fax or advanced multifunction features. Print speed and quality, while good for entry-level, may not satisfy users with high-volume or professional-grade output requirements.
