THE SHORT ANSWER

Our take

The Canon imageCLASS MF262dw II is a monochrome printer, copier and scanner for a compact document workflow. Canon rates it up to 30 pages per minute on Letter paper and recommends 250–2,500 pages monthly. Automatic duplex, Wi-Fi, Ethernet and USB add flexibility for a small office or home workspace. The exact model has no document feeder, so multipage originals must be handled on the platen rather than loaded as a stack. Canon does not list fax for this model. Those limits distinguish it from nearby MF267 and MF269 variants, whose features should not be carried over by family name alone.

Consider it for

A small desk that needs mono printing and platen-based copying or scanning with wireless and wired networking..

Look elsewhere if

Skip it if you require fax, an automatic document feeder, or a recommended monthly volume above Canon’s 2,500-page ceiling.

Pros & cons

What could work for you, and what to consider before buying.

What works in its favor

  • Canon lists print, copy and scan with a 250–2,500 page recommended range.
  • Automatic duplex supports hands-off two-sided output for suitable documents.
  • Wi-Fi, Ethernet and USB offer multiple ways to connect the exact model.

What to weigh up

  • Canon specifies no document feeder, making multipage originals a platen workflow.
  • Fax is not listed among the exact model’s functions.
  • The monochrome engine cannot produce color pages or graphics.

What the features mean for you

Copy and scan without an automatic feeder

Canon lists print, copy and scan for the exact MF262dw II but specifies no document feeder. That means a user can place an original on the platen, but a stack of pages requires repeated handling. For occasional copying or a short scan, this may be manageable; a front office processing forms all day should compare an MFP with an ADF. The manufacturer’s exact function list does not include fax, so do not assume a nearby MF267 or MF269 model’s fax feature applies. The distinction is important when the printer is expected to replace several desk devices.

A small-office monthly recommendation

Canon recommends 250–2,500 pages per month for this exact model. That gives a practical workload band to compare with a home office or small team, while the upper end marks a normal recommendation rather than a maximum duty cycle. Estimate the group’s typical printing over a month and include copies and scan-related print jobs. A printer can occasionally exceed a recommended range, but choosing it for sustained use above that point is a different decision. If the team is likely to grow beyond 2,500 pages, compare an office model with a higher documented range.

Automatic duplex simplifies two-sided output

The MF262dw II supports automatic duplex printing. It can turn pages internally for a two-sided job, reducing manual page sorting on reports, school materials or office handouts. This does not add a duplex feeder for scanning originals: output duplex and document intake remain separate capabilities. Check the driver’s binding-edge settings and ensure the chosen paper is suitable for the job. The benefit is most visible in recurring multipage work; if every job is a short receipt or one-sided form, duplex may be less important than the printer’s other functions.

Network flexibility for a shared desk

Canon lists Wi-Fi, Ethernet and USB. Wi-Fi can simplify placement in a home office, Ethernet supports a fixed wired network, and USB provides direct connection. These options let a small group choose the path that fits its router and device-management habits, though each still needs the appropriate software and setup. If the printer will scan to a shared location, verify the desired destination and access controls. Wireless does not imply that every phone and computer is configured automatically. Confirm the exact model suffix and connections before treating it as a replacement for an existing office setup.

Use the Letter speed as a comparison, not a promise

Canon rates this model up to 30 pages per minute on Letter paper. The rating helps compare it with other printers measured on the same paper size, but an individual document may print differently depending on application, connectivity, media and coverage. Keep the Letter basis visible when looking at A4 ratings from other makers. The printer’s lack of an ADF may have more effect on a copy-and-scan routine than the rated speed, because a person still places originals by hand. Match the machine to the entire workflow rather than to one headline number.

What else to compare

Choose a fax-capable MFP if a phone line matters, or a model with an ADF if multipage originals are common.

The decision

The MF262dw II offers a clear small-workgroup mix of mono print, copy, scan and network access. Its platen-only original handling and lack of listed fax are key limits.
