Wireless All-in-One Printers to Maximize Productivity

Wireless printers offer a range of benefits that can make printing tasks more convenient and efficient. Here are two of the most important benefits:

With wireless printers, you can print from almost anywhere within your office¹—whether that’s a traditional office or a corner of your room—without the need for physical connections to the printer. You no longer need to position your printer near your computer or worry about running cables across the room. With a wireless printer, like the MegaTank MAXIFY GX7021 Wireless¹ All-in-One Printer, you can find a convenient location to place it¹ and enjoy easy printing functionality.

Wireless printers can connect to multiple devices simultaneously. Whether you're using a desktop computer, laptop, tablet, or smartphone, as long as they are connected to the same wireless network, you can easily send print jobs to a wireless printer without hassle. Wireless printers can also enable easy integration with compatible cloud-based services and mobile printing apps. This means you can effortlessly print documents directly from popular cloud storage platforms like Google Drive™ or Dropbox², as well as directly from your email or your compatible mobile device. This level of connectivity allows for quick and efficient printing on the go.

All-in-one printers are highly versatile devices that perform multiple tasks such as printing, scanning, copying and, depending on the printer model, faxing. Combining multiple functionalities into one device can eliminate the need to purchase separate machines for different functions, which can help you save money in the long run. Many models also come with energy-saving features that can help reduce electricity consumption. For example, many of the Canon all-in-one printers are ENERGY STAR®³ certified, which means you may save money and energy while being environmentally conscious.

All-in-one printers also come with advanced features that can enhance functionality and efficiency. Many models offer wireless connectivity options such as Wi-Fi® or Bluetooth, allowing you to print or scan directly from your smartphone or tablet. Some all-in-one printers, like the Canon MegaTank MAXIFY GX7021 Wireless¹ All-in-One Printer, feature automatic document feeders (ADFs) which enable quick scanning or copying of multiple pages without having to feed each page separately.

All-in-one printers often come with user-friendly interfaces and intuitive software that make it easy to navigate through different functions and settings. They are typically designed to be user-friendly, even for those who may not be tech-savvy. For example, the imageCLASS MF465dw Laser Printer has a large color touchscreen that can be customized to display your most important features for easy access.

All-in-one printers can offer high print quality and fast printing speeds when it comes to color printing. All-in-one color laser printers can offer vibrant and professional-looking prints with sharp text and vivid images. They are especially beneficial for businesses that require high-quality marketing materials or presentations. Laser printers, including color all-in-one models, can deliver fast printing speeds—up to 35 pages per minute⁴ for the Color imageCLASS MF753Cdw Wireless¹ Multifunction Printer, for example—allowing you to complete tasks quickly and efficiently. This can be particularly beneficial in busy office environments where time is of the essence.

Wireless all-in-one printers can have lots of benefits, from cost savings to convenience. But how do you choose the best one for your use case so you can stay productive and efficient? Canon offers a few superb options.

This wireless¹ 4-in-1 printer is an outstanding printer for business use cases, allowing you to print, copy, scan and fax black and white or color documents from one device. You can connect compatible mobile devices quickly without a router via the Wi-Fi® Direct connection or print on the go with the Canon PRINT app⁵. It prints up to 35 pages per minute⁴, both in black and white and color, and has an expandable paper capacity of up to 850 sheets of plain, letter size paper. You can print on both sides and perform two-sided scanning in one pass, saving both paper and time. The printer also uses a high-capacity toner that prints up to 2,100 black and white or 1,900 color pages.

If you only need an efficient and affordable monochrome printer for office use, then this printer could be ideal for you. With a quick First Print Out Time (FPOT) of approximately 5 seconds⁶, this printer can deliver 42 black-and-white pages per minute⁴. It supports duplex (two-sided) printing and one-pass two-sided scanning at fast scan speeds of up to 80 images per minute. It has an expandable paper capacity of up to 900 sheets, and you can load up to 50 sheets of plain, letter size paper in its automatic document feeder. You can print and scan documents directly from your external cloud storage like Google Drive or Dropbox², or print and scan on the go from your compatible mobile devices.

Need a high-quality inkjet printer? This 4-in-1 wireless printer may be your solution. This printer comes with refillable ink tanks and high-yield ink bottles, saving you up to 80% in ink costs compared to high-yield laser cartridges.

On a single set of ink, you can print up to 6,000 black and white and 14,000 color pages⁷ at speeds of up to 15.5 and 24 images per minute for color and black and white printing⁸, respectively. It prints on different media types, from envelopes to labels to thick or glossy paper. Its automatic document feeder holds up to 50 sheets of plain, letter size paper and you can scan two-sided documents in a single pass. The printer’s compact size means you can fit it almost anywhere in your office space and send print jobs wirelessly from your computer or compatible mobile devices.

Do wireless printers work with all computers?

Wireless printers are designed to work with most computers as long as they have the necessary wireless connectivity features and a compatible operating system. Most wireless printers use standard Wi-Fi® connectivity, a widely supported wireless communication protocol so that using the same Wi-Fi network, you can connect them to compatible Wi-Fi-enabled computers, laptops, tablets, and smartphones. You may also need to install the printer drivers and software provided by the printer manufacturer to establish communication between the computer and the wireless printer. These drivers are specific to the make and model of the printer and the operating system of your computer or device.

Are all-in-one printers worth it?

The answer depends on your specific needs and how you plan to use the printer. If you have limited space and prefer a streamlined setup, an all-in-one printer can be a space-saving solution, combining printing, scanning, copying, and, depending on the printer, faxing functions in one device.  If you frequently need to perform tasks beyond printing, such as scanning documents or making copies, an all-in-one printer can provide the convenience of handling multiple functions without needing separate devices.

Another essential consideration is the frequency of use. If your printing needs are occasional and you rarely need to print, copy, scan and/or fax documents, then a small single-function office inkjet or laser printer might be all you need. All-in-one printers are typically more expensive than single-function printers, so the cost-saving benefit only comes into play if you regularly use one or more of the additional functions they provide.

What's the difference between a printer and an all-in-one printer?

The main difference lies in the functions they perform. A standard printer offers only one function – printing, whereas an all-in-one printer performs other functions like copying, scanning, and faxing, in addition to printing.

Investing in a wireless all-in-one printer is a smart choice if you have regular printing, copying, scanning and/or faxing needs and want to save space. With wireless connectivity, you're untethered and free to print from almost anywhere in the office without juggling multiple devices. With the collection of affordable yet powerful Canon wireless¹ all-in-one printers, you are one step away from finding a printer that can make all the difference in your workflow.
