Canon touts the speed, ease of use and connectivity of the device: In the process, we discovered an even better solution than AirPrint for printing and scanning from iOS and Android devices to the MX892. Otherwise we gave the MX892 a pretty good workout. While we did have occasion to use the Automatic Document Feeder to scan multipage documents, we didn't setup or use the fax capabilities of the device. List price for the MX892 is $199.99 but it's available at a 25 percent discount for $149.99 via the Imaging Resource Amazon affiliate program, which helps support reviews like this.Ĭanon shipped a review unit to us and we put it to work as our main office printer for a few weeks.
We compare the two series at the end of this review.
For those options, look into Canon's MG-series of photo multifunction devices. While the features of this WiFi-enabled device are impressive, two of our favorite options are missing in the MX-series: CD printing and negative scanning.
As the user manual points out, with the $199.99 MX892 you can print photos from any network-connected device (including an iPad), print from a cable-connected camera or a Bluetooth-capable device with an optional Bluetooth dongle, print from any flash card or thumb drive connected to the device itself, copy original photos and documents, scan from the device to its card reader or computers on your network and transmit or receive faxes.
