A standout feature on the PIXMA MX860 multifunction printer is the inclusion of automatic duplex - often absent on inkjet and even laser multifunctions - allowing you to save paper through double-sided printing.Ĭanon multifunction printers have never been prized for their print speed, and the PIXMA MX860 continues this trend. USB and Ethernet connections are provided, along with Wi-Fi, an integrated fax and media card slots for Memory Stick, SD, CompactFlash, as well as PictBridge USB. The front paper cassette doesn't offer a 4圆in size setting but there is room for photo printing media in the rear tray. Its media capacity is paltry, however, with a maximum of 300 A4 sheets between the two trays. The Canon PIXMA MX860 multifunction is clearly optimised for office use, with an automatic document feeder, a front-facing paper cassette and a rear fold-out tray.
The only thing that stops it being truly competitive with laser multifunctions is its print speed. Providing great print quality and good features, the Canon PIXMA MX860 inkjet multifunction is a well-priced alternative to cheap laser multifunctions printers if you need to conduct low-volume printing.
