The duplex printing mode being manual may be less convenient for those who wish to quickly print documents on both sides. Additionally, the lack of a duplex scanning function may slow down the process for multi-page documents. The recommended service cycle of 250 to 2000 pages per month may not meet the needs of users with higher demands. Finally, although the design is functional, its weight of 11.34 kg can make handling and moving it difficult. In summary, the Canon MAXIFY MB5120 is an excellent choice for users looking for a fast and versatile printer, although it may not be suitable for those with very intensive printing needs.
