Key Advantages

The PIXMA MX870 offers high-quality photo and document printing with superior detail and vibrant colors. Its multifunction capability consolidates office needs into one device, saving both space and costs. The inclusion of an Automatic Document Feeder streamlines batch scanning and faxing processes, increasing productivity. The Ethernet connectivity allows for easy integration into office networks, offering shared usage among multiple users. The user-friendly 2.5-inch LCD display enhances operational convenience and device control. Separate ink cartridges reduce waste and offer economic ink replacement, maximizing cost efficiency.

Limitations

The PIXMA MX870's print speed may be slower compared to more modern printers, especially in high-volume office environments. It lacks wireless connectivity options such as Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, which limits mobile and remote printing capabilities. The device has a relatively high power consumption during operation compared to newer energy-efficient models. Its size and weight may not be ideal for smaller office spaces. The included fax modem operates at a standard 33.6 kbps, which is slower compared to some contemporary fax technologies. Additionally, the LCD screen is small and monochrome, limiting ease when navigating complex menus.
