Key Advantages

The Canon Pixma MG2522 offers a compact footprint ideal for small workspaces and home offices. Its multifunction capabilities allow scanning, copying, and printing from a single device, reducing equipment costs. The FINE cartridge system delivers high-quality prints with crisp text and vibrant colors at an affordable price point. USB connectivity ensures straightforward installation and compatibility with a wide range of computers. The simple control panel minimizes user complexity, making it accessible even to less tech-savvy users. Additionally, the printer supports various paper types, widening its functional applications.

Limitations

The Pixma MG2522 lacks wireless connectivity features like Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, limiting printing directly from mobile or network devices. The print speed is relatively slow, at approximately 7.7 images per minute (ipm) for black and white, and 4 ipm for color prints, which may hinder productivity in busy environments. It does not support duplex (double-sided) printing, requiring manual intervention for double-sided documents. The ink cartridges have a relatively low page yield, increasing running costs for high-volume printing. The scanner resolution is sufficient for basic usage but is not suitable for professional-grade image scanning. The printer also lacks advanced features such as fax functionality or touchscreen interfaces, making it a more basic option within the Pixma series.
