Limitations

The Canon Pixma MX492 uses individual ink cartridges which may increase operational costs over time. Print speed is moderate and may not be suitable for high-volume print requirements in large offices. It does not support Ethernet wired networking which limits connectivity to wireless options only. The scanner's resolution, while acceptable for document scanning, may not be adequate for high-resolution image scanning tasks. The printer’s LCD display is small and monochrome, offering limited navigation information. Some users report that wireless connectivity can occasionally be unstable depending on network conditions.
