Gather the following items before you begin setup. Tick each one as you get it.
Overview
The Canon PIXMA G4170 is a premium, high-efficiency 4-in-1 Wireless MegaTank printer. It is the modern successor to the G4110, featuring a faster print engine, a more intuitive user interface, and a “serviceable” design that allows users to replace key maintenance parts at home.
Features
- 4-in-1 Productivity: Designed for home offices, it handles Printing, Scanning, Copying, and Faxing in a single compact footprint.
- Automatic Document Feeder (ADF): Includes a 35-sheet ADF, which is significantly larger than the previous generation’s 20-sheet tray, allowing for much faster processing of multi-page documents.
- Improved Print Speed: Delivers approximately 11.0 ipm (mono) and 6.0 ipm (color), a notable speed boost over older MegaTank models.
- User-Replaceable Maintenance Cartridge: Uses the MC-G04 cartridge, which you can swap yourself when full. This prevents the “waste ink pad full” error from grounding your printer.
- Modern Interface: Features a 1.35-inch Square LCD screen that provides clear status updates and simplifies the Wi-Fi setup process.
- Massive Ink Yield: * Black: Up to 6,000 pages (7,600 in Economy mode).
