The printer has two paper trays: one at the front and one at the back, allowing you to load plain paper and photo paper simultaneously. This setup saves time when switching between different types of printing.

Printing Performance

The MG5100 uses a five-ink system, including both dye and pigment black inks. However, it’s not the fastest printer; a 4×6-inch photo takes about 46 seconds to print. Despite the slower speed, the print quality is impressive, making it suitable for both documents and photos.

Scanning and Copying

The built-in scanner offers an optical resolution of 1200 x 2400 dpi, capturing fine details in documents and photos. Copying is straightforward, with options for both color and black-and-white copies.

Connectivity and Software

The MG5100 connects to your computer via USB 2.0. It lacks wireless connectivity, which means you need a direct connection to print. Included software like Canon Easy-PhotoPrint EX and MP Navigator EX enhances the printing and scanning experience.

Ink System and Cost

This printer uses individual ink cartridges for each color, allowing you to replace only the color that runs out.

Pigment Black (PGI-525PGBK)
Dye Black (CLI-526BK)
Cyan (CLI-526C)
Magenta (CLI-526M)
Yellow (CLI-526Y)
