It's a wise, portable device with a 20-page automated record feeder (ADF) constructed right into the scanner cover, so you can leave it alone to replicate longer papers or send a multi-page fax. Canon's PIXMA MX494 is a tiny inkjet multifunction peripheral (MFP) aimed at the office accordingly, it can print, check or replicate, and send or get faxes.
There's support for USB links and wireless networking, however is no front-panel USB or wired Ethernet port - we wouldn't necessarily expect either at this rate. While this PIXMA MX494 MFP can't immediately print on both sides of a sheet of paper, the driver will certainly assist you to do it manually by Canon.
