Overview

The Canon PIXMA MX532 is a four-function inkjet all-in-one — print, copy, scan, fax — built around wireless connectivity and automation features aimed at home office and small business users. The headline specifications are practical ones: a 30-sheet auto document feeder that handles multi-page originals without supervision, automatic duplex printing that handles both sides in a single pass, and wireless protocols covering AirPrint, Google Cloud Print, and Canon's own PIXMA Printing Solutions app. Maximum print media size is 8.5 x 14 inches, which covers the legal documents that often require a step up from consumer-grade printers. Rated speeds are 9.7 ppm monochrome and 16 ppm color under ISO conditions, with 64 MB of onboard RAM managing job processing.

The MX532 is built for users who need a reliable do-everything office machine without the complexity or cost of a laser device. The ADF and duplex combination meaningfully reduce the hands-on time required for routine document workflows — scanning a 30-page contract or printing a double-sided report happens without babysitting the machine. The ink system uses separate black and color cartridges, with PG-240 XXL high-yield black available for cost-per-page optimization. At 18.7 pounds with a roughly 18" x 15" footprint, it requires dedicated desk space. This is the right printer for a home office that handles a mix of document printing, occasional photo output, and multi-page scanning — it is not optimized for photographic print quality or high-volume production workloads.

Pros & Cons

👍 Pros

  • Auto duplex printing handles two-sided output natively, reducing paper consumption without manual intervention
  • 30-sheet ADF enables unattended multi-page copy, scan, and fax jobs without per-page feeding
  • AirPrint and Google Cloud Print provide driver-free wireless printing from iOS, Android, and browser-based environments
  • PG-240 XXL high-yield black cartridge option keeps cost-per-page low for monochrome-heavy workloads
  • Legal-size (8.5 x 14") print and scan capability covers the full range of common office document sizes

👎 Cons

  • At 18.7 pounds and 18.1" x 15.2" x 7.9", the MX532 occupies substantial desk footprint for a home office printer
  • Inkjet technology means ink costs accumulate quickly in high-volume print environments — this is not a cost-effective choice for print-heavy offices
  • 64 MB of onboard memory limits the complexity of jobs it can queue without a host computer
  • Color print speed spec of 16 ppm is measured under ideal conditions; real-world photo and mixed-document speeds will be lower
  • Fax functionality is increasingly redundant for most users, adding to the unit's size without contributing to core print/scan workflows

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. The MX532 supports Apple AirPrint, which allows printing directly from iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch without drivers or additional software. Google Cloud Print support extends wireless printing to Android devices and any browser-connected computer.
Canon rates the MX532 at 9.7 ppm monochrome and 16 ppm color under ISO 24734 conditions. In typical mixed-document office use, effective throughput will be lower due to processing overhead and ink drying time, but these speeds are competitive for an inkjet in this class.
Yes. Built-in auto duplex printing handles two-sided output without manual page flipping. This applies to standard print jobs; duplex scanning is handled by the 30-sheet auto document feeder, which processes multi-page originals automatically.
The MX532 is compatible with the PG-240 XL and PG-240 XXL pigment black cartridges and the CL-241 XL color cartridge. The XXL black cartridge provides the highest page yield and the lowest cost-per-page for monochrome-heavy workflows. Combo/value packs reduce per-cartridge cost further.
The maximum print media size is 8.5 x 14 inches (legal). The 30-sheet ADF handles standard letter and legal originals for copying, scanning, and faxing without manual feeding.
