Canon MAXIFY MB2740 4-in-1 Multi-Function Printer

The Canon MAXIFY MB2740 is a powerful 4-in-1 colour inkjet printer designed for home offices, small businesses and demanding work environments. Combining printing, scanning, copying and faxing in one productive device, it delivers fast performance, flexible connectivity and professional-quality business documents.

Print at speeds of approximately 24 images per minute in black and 15.5 images per minute in colour. Canon’s Dual Resistant High Density ink technology produces sharp text, vivid colours and durable documents that resist smudging, friction and highlighting—making the MB2740 ideal for reports, quotations, invoices, presentations and customer-facing materials.

A 50-sheet Automatic Document Feeder makes it easier to scan, copy or fax multi-page documents, while automatic two-sided printing helps reduce paper consumption. Two 250-sheet paper cassettes provide a combined capacity of up to 500 sheets, allowing different paper sizes or media types to remain loaded and reducing the need for frequent refilling.

The 7.5 cm colour touchscreen provides straightforward access to printer functions and settings. With Wi-Fi, Ethernet and USB connectivity, the MAXIFY MB2740 can be shared across a home or office network. It also supports mobile and cloud printing through the Canon PRINT app, Apple AirPrint, Mopria and Canon’s cloud services.
