Canon estimates that a black-only print costs about 4 cents per page while a full-color print costs about 12 cents per page.
The larger black tank costs $20 and the larger tricolor costs $25. The standard capacity black costs $16 and the standard tricolor costs $20. The Pixma MP210 is compatible with two sets of Canon inks. For the majority of paper types, keep the lever to the left for envelopes and T-shirt transfers, switch it to the right. Deep within the bowels of the output tray is a lever that changes the distance between the print head and the paper. A panel on the front folds down to serve as the output tray. The paper handling is typical of Canons: The input paper support folds out from the rear and holds up to 100 sheets. Finally, two start buttons (color and black), a stop button, and three lights to indicate a problem or low ink levels round out the control panel. The scan button launches the MP Navigator EX program on your PC. One button lets you designate the type of paper you're copying on (plain letter, photo letter, or 4圆 photo), while another turns on the fit-to-page option for copying. You can also browse the maintenance options on the LED, though you'll need the decoder ring (i.e., the user guide) to translate the single-letter codes. Instead of a graphical or text LCD, a single-digit LED shows the number of copies.
The control panel is basic, befitting the basic nature of this all-in-one. The MP210 offers a front-mounted USB port for connecting PictBridge devices (such as cameras and camera phones) for PC-free printing. The scanner lid conceals an A4-size flatbed scanner, and the lid rears back a bit to accommodate thick originals (up to 1-inch thick). The light-gray-and-black printer sits 17.7 inches wide, 13.9 inches deep, and 6.7 inches tall, and weighs a light 12.8 pounds. Design-wise, the Pixma MP210 more closely resembles its more expensive brethren than last year's budget models (such as the Pixma MP160).
