*Specifications, availability and prices are subject to change without notice. Actual prices are set by individual dealers and may vary.
i Wireless printing requires a working network with wireless 802.11 b/g/n capability, operating at 2.4GHz. Wireless performance may vary based on terrain and distance between the printer and wireless network clients.
ii Page yield of included ink bottles used for initial setup is lower than the replacement ink bottles, as a certain amount of ink is consumed to fill into the print head during setup (charging the print head initially). Page yield is the estimated value based on Canon individual test method using the ISO/IEC 24712 chart and continuous printing simulation with the replacement ink bottles after initial setup. Page yield of color inks is an average yield of cyan, magenta, and yellow inks combined. Page yield varies significantly depending on content printed, ink levels maintained in all four reservoirs, and other factors. Up to 6,000 (black)/7,700 (color) printed page yields are approximate using ‘default printing mode’ via Windows/Mac OS driver or printer copy setting, based off document pages printed.

Up to 6,000 (black)/7,700 (color) printed page yields are approximate using ‘default printing mode’, up to 8,300 (black)/7,700 (color) printed page yields are approximate using ‘economy printing mode’ via Windows/Mac OS driver or printer copy setting, based off document pages printed. A full set of MegaTank GI-20 ink bottles (pigment black, cyan, magenta, yellow) is equivalent to 30 each standard capacity Black (PG-260) and Color (CL-261, composed of cyan, magenta and yellow) ink cartridges sold individually based on print yield. Ink value savings based on MSRP (CAD) of stated equivalent ink cartridges as of November 2020.
iv IPM print speeds are based on the default speed printer driver mode using black and white and color text patterns. Print speed is measured as soon as the first page begins to feed into the printer and will vary depending on system configuration, interface, software, document complexity, print mode, types of paper used, and page coverage. See usa.canon.com/ipm for additional details.
