Download Canon PIXMA MX492 Manual – The printer’s compact design and the low weight received a lot of praise. However, the design also results in a correspondingly small display, which can make it difficult for you to operate the device itself, even though the control panel is clearly laid out. Buyers complain that on-screen instructions are not always understandable. The Canon PIXMA MX492 does not have a real paper compartment in the form of a paper cassette: you can only insert the paper if you fold down the front panel, which cannot be closed with the paper inserted. In addition, the feeder only holds 100 sheets, which is too small for any use beyond occasional printing. The Pixma only prints on both sides manually, and there is no duplex unit. The automatic document feeder holds 20 pages – this alone shows that the device is intended for home use and less for large offices. With a print resolution of 4,800 x 1,200 dpi, the printer already makes a decent impression on the datasheet, and users are also largely convinced of the black and white print quality. However, the very long printing time, caused by frequent print head cleaning, is very much criticized by users. When it comes to color printing, the Canon PIXMA MX492 is even slower than simple black printing, but you can also print absolutely brilliant photos in the highest quality mode. According to some buyers’ opinions, the printed ink is then very wet and can be smudged very easily. In contrast to the printer, the scanner works at a moderate speed. With regard to color scans and color copies, some testers complain that the red area is too pronounced. Black-and-white copies, on the other hand, are quick and easy to make. Combination color cartridges, as used here, are fundamentally more expensive in terms of printing costs. With a maximum range of 300 pages for all three colors, there are relatively moderate printing costs of 8 cents per color page. According to customer opinions, the WLAN interface is extremely stable and reliable. The same applies to wireless printing from an Apple device via AirPrint. However, you cannot connect the Canon PIXMA MX492 printer to your computer via USB cable and use it in the WLAN at the same time, which testers complained about.
