Setting up the PIXMA MX926 is a relatively easy, albeit quite involved, process. It’s a simple idea that’s more responsive than a touchscreen and easier to see from a distance or without reading glasses. There’s a big 3-inch colour screen, and a four-by-three grid of glossy black squares that light up with symbols depending on which part of the printer’s menu system you’re in. The printer’s controls are set out facing slightly upwards on the top, so they can be easily seen when the printer’s sitting on a desk at waist level or above. The PIXMA MX926 also has a 33.6kbps fax if your business still needs to fax stuff, this drastically reduces the number of printers you can choose from, so it’s good to see the MX926 include it for peace of mind. There’s a 30-sheet automatic document feeder for the scanner head, too, and it’s duplex-capable which makes digitising a multi-page, dual-sided document far easier than on a non-duplex-capable model.
Up top, the printer has a flatbed scanner capable of 2400x4800dpi, with a maximum sheet size slightly larger than A4. The printer’s output tray pops open automatically when there’s a print job pending, although it doesn’t close afterwards. There’s a massive 250-sheet plain paper input tray at the printer’s front base, with a 20-sheet dedicated variable-size paper tray slightly further up. The MX926 is laid out in a way that makes it easy to use - there are no big surprises up here. In-built Wi-Fi networking is joined by wired Ethernet, and USB 2.0 for direct PC connection. It takes a fair amount of work to keep the MX926 looking clean with regular use, if you care enough to do so. The MX926 has every surface finished in a glossy black plastic, which looks good but is one of the biggest fingerprint magnets we’ve encountered.
We like that Canon’s inkjet printers are relatively monolithic - they don’t have paper trays protruding from the front or top or back, so you can push them right up against the back of a bookshelf. The PIXMA MX926, as office printers goes, is quite compact. Canon PIXMA MX926: Design, features and setup
