Printing documents is only one of the tasks that office workers commonly do. Sometimes they need to scan or copy documents too. Thanks to the invention of multifunction printers, people can just buy one machine to do these three tasks.

The Canon MG6470 is one of those three-in-one inkjet units. While its features make it more suitable for office use, it can also serve as a versatile printer for home use.

Features and Highlights

Five Ink Cartridges

Epson adds five cartridges into the Canon MG6470 instead of just four to provide better print quality. You can either use the standard-capacity ink cartridges or the high-capacity ones.

Since the additional ink increases the running costs of the printer, you should consider buying the larger ink cartridges, which can help reducing the print cost per page in the long run.

On the plus side, the MG6470 only uses individual ink cartridges. This means you can replace every single cartridge without wasting other color inks as you would with a tri-color cartridge.

Duplex Printing and Copying

Automatic duplexing is one of the primary reasons why the MG6470 is more suitable for offices rather than homes. If you print and copy only a few double-sided pages, a printer with manual duplexing capability is sufficient. The availability of this particular functionality allows you to save on paper.

PIXMA CLoud Link

The printer can be used to connect to ten online services for direct printing. For example, if you have some files in Dropbox, you can access the files from the printer and then print the selected files. This printing method doesn’t require you to use a PC. The other online services that the printer can connect to include but not limited to Facebook, Evernote, Canon Image Gateway, Canon Creative Park, and Twitter.

Remote Printing

You don’t need to be physically present to access the Canon MG6470 for printing. As long as your smartphone, tablet, or laptop, is connected to the internet, you can use it to send print jobs via email to the printer anytime you need to, but you will need to set it up properly first to be able to use the functionality.

Scan to Memory Card

The inkjet printer comes with a multi-card slot. You can insert a compatible memory card into the slot, scan some pages, and save the scan results directly to the memory card. This saves time since you don’t have to send the scan results to a PC first before transferring them to a memory card.

Canon MG6470 Driver Free Download

Windows has a list of built-in drivers so that users can use devices as soon as they are connected to the PC, but the drivers don’t always work. This is why, in order to make sure that everything runs smoothly, you need to use the driver that Epson has provided for the MG6470.

The driver, which has an insignificant file size compared to the total capacity of your hard drive, is very easy to install. You can click the link below to download Canon MG6470 Driver for Windows:
