Key Advantages

The Canon PIXMA MX870 offers excellent all-in-one functionality combining printing, copying, scanning, and faxing in one device, ideal for office use. It achieves high-quality color prints with a maximum resolution of 9600 x 2400 dpi, delivering crisp images and text. The inclusion of an automatic document feeder streamlines workflow by handling multi-page documents efficiently. User-friendly features such as a large 3.5-inch LCD touchscreen enhance ease of use and navigation. Flexible connectivity options, including Ethernet and USB ports along with optional wireless support, facilitate both networked and direct connections. Additionally, its support for direct printing from memory cards and cameras adds convenience for quick photo printing without a PC.

Limitations

Despite its multiple functions, the Canon PIXMA MX870 is comparatively bulky and may occupy considerable desk space. Its print speed is moderate, which might be limiting for high-volume office environments requiring faster throughput. The device's compatibility is primarily oriented towards Windows and Mac OS with limited support for other operating systems. Ink cartridge costs may be relatively high, impacting the overall operating expenses. Some users report that the automatic document feeder occasionally experiences paper jams with thinner paper stocks. Wireless functionality requires additional accessories, which adds to the overall investment.
