Canon PIXMA MX392 Driver for Windows, Mac, and Setup Guide

Canon PIXMA MX392 is an office all-in-one (AIO) inkjet printer that comes with low price. The low price makes it a perfect fit as a personal multifunction printer (MFP) for light-duty use, especially in a home or micro-office. If you are curious about this printer, let’s pay attention to the following review!

Basics and Speed

This machine prints & faxes from, and scan to PC. It also works as a standalone fax machine & copier. It has a 30-page ADF that supplements the letter-sized flatbed. So, it can easily scan multi-page documents as well as legal-size pages. But it does not offer photo-centric features as the ability to directly print from memory cards & PictBridge cameras, making it ideal for home use.

2 key features peg it for personal use. First, there is no network support. Second, the paper handling is for 100 sheets only. Unfortunately, there are no upgrade options for the manual duplexing. The first makes it difficult to share the device. The second limits it to light-duty printing that must be sufficient for personal use. However, it’d be meager for a shared printer, including in a micro-office.

On business applications suite, Canon PIXMA MX392 comes in at 2.0 ppm. It also comes in at a slow speed for photos. The average is 2 minutes 9 seconds for a 4×6.

Output Quality & Other Specs

Its overall output quality is good. Text is at the low end of a tight range where most inkjet multifunction printers fall. Both photos & graphics dead on par. Then, text characters are not good enough for serious desktop publishing.

Graphics quality is good for internal business need like PPT handouts. Photo quality is equivalent to your expectation from drugstore prints, making them true photo quality by definition.

MX392 is best used as a personal multifunction printer for light-duty use in any size office. If you want to print a lot, you can consider a faster option. However, if you only print a few pages a day & need the ability to scan copy & fax, this machine can do the job certainly, making it a reasonable option to choose.

Conclusion

From the review above, we can conclude that Canon PIXMA MX392 can print & fax from, and scan to, a PC. Besides that, it can also be a standalone fax machine & copier. In addition, it offers an ADF. Unfortunately, it is slow enough and offers manual duplexing only.
