The inclusion of an automatic document feeder enhances productivity for faxing and copying multi-page documents.

The Officejet 5212 lacks wireless connectivity options, restricting its use to USB connection only. Its print speeds are moderate, slower compared to some contemporaneous laser printers, especially in black and white. The ink cartridges tend to have moderate yields leading to increased operational costs for high-volume users. The display is limited to a small monochrome LCD with no touchscreen interface, reducing ease of navigation. The device does not support duplex (double-sided) printing automatically, requiring manual page flipping. Also, driver support for newer operating systems has become limited due to the product's age.
