Description
The Maxify inkjet line includes both MFPs and a single-function printer, and is tightly focused on full-time home offices, sole proprietorships, and small and micro businesses, eschewing consumer-friendly features. This sets it apart from Canon's Pixma line, most of which combine consumer and home-office features and are often a good choice as dual-use MFPs for both household and home-office use.
The MB5020 prints, copies, scans, and faxes. It has a port for a USB thumb drive, from which you can print and scan, both from and to the drive. You can also scan to email, to a network folder, or to the cloud. The printer measures 12.6 by 18.3 by 18.1 inches (HWD), which larger than you'd want to share a desk with, and weighs 26.3 pounds. Paper handling is sparse, with a single 250-sheet tray and no options for additional trays. It does have an auto-duplexer for two-sided printing. For scanning, the MB5020 has a letter-size flatbed, plus a 50-sheet automatic document feeder
