For a local business that prints invoices and contracts
Office imaging, not a photo hobby.
Default: a Canon small-office all-in-one — MAXIFY / MegaTank or imageCLASS, depending on whether you want bottles or toner — with an ADF and duplex you can actually use. This is not usa.canon.com. Home Print is the EcoTank-first sister for a spare-room first printer. This site is volume, feeders, and PDFs that look like records.
This is not Canon’s store, support, or MAXIFY campaign. We do not use their red brand system as ours. We do not invent duty-cycle numbers, street prices, or coupons. Model names belong to Canon.

The default, if you want one
If you print invoices, estimates, and contracts, and you scan packets to PDF, start in Canon’s small-office lines: MAXIFY MegaTank when you want bottle economics and pigment documents; imageCLASS when you want laser/toner and you live in text. Confirm ADF type (simplex vs duplex), legal paper, and Ethernet on the live US spec sheet. If you only print a handful of pages at home, you are on the wrong subdomain — use Home Print.
Feeder or it is a home printer
If you regularly scan more than a couple of pages, the ADF is the product. A lid is a backup. Home Print can stay on a lid. This site does not.
Duplex means two different things
Duplex print (two-sided output) is not duplex scan (two-sided originals). Spec sheets blur this. We will not.
Not a copier lease
We are talking about a machine you buy. If you already have a leased A3 device with a click charge, this page is not trying to replace your dealer.
