A system with comprehensive printing, scanning, copying, and faxing capabilities, designed for smaller offices that require high-quality black-and-white and color prints combined with economical operation.
Small Offices, Huge Productivity
The multifunction printer MAXIFY MB5150 provides A4 prints with ultra-high speed, 24 images/min in black and white mode and 15.5 images/min in color mode, while the time to produce the first page (FPOT) is just 6 seconds. Additionally, the single-pass duplex scanning function offers fast scanning, while the DRHD pigment inks, with high resistance to markers and abrasion, provide intense black, deep colors, and crystal-clear text.
Extremely economical printing
From the low energy consumption, which is just 0.2kWh (TEC), to the independently replaceable color ink cartridges, the MB5150 multifunction device operates with economy in mind. The black ink cartridges have a yield of 2,500 pages according to ISO, while the color ink cartridges have a yield of 1,500 pages, allowing you to work without interruptions.
Increased productivity and ease of use
Printing, copying, scanning, and sending/receiving faxes are made easy and simple through the large 8.8cm (3.5") color TFT screen and the improved user interface. In addition to the high-capacity 250-sheet paper tray and the 50-sheet automatic document feeder, with the duplex printing function and support for various sizes and types of paper - from plain A4 paper to labels, envelopes, photo paper, or even double-sided ID card copying - the most common office printing tasks are easier than ever.
Immediate support for mobile devices, cloud services, and every task
Support for Google Cloud Print, Apple AirPrint (iOS), and Mopria services, as well as the Canon PRINT app, ensures quick and easy printing and scanning from/to mobile devices. You can print from the cloud or even scan and save documents to popular services like Google Drive, Dropbox, Evernote, OneNote, OneDrive, and Concur. Additionally, the Access Point mode allows mobile device users to connect to the printer without the need for a Wi-Fi network.
Comprehensive monitoring and maintenance capabilities
With IP address filtering, access can be allowed only to a selected number of users, while SMTP protocol support for email allows secure scanning and sending to email addresses. System administrators can quickly and easily configure printer settings and restrict specific processes, such as scanning to USB devices.
Easy Network Integration
Compatibility with the SNMP protocol facilitates the integration of the printer into an existing office network. The SNMP standard allows for the use of a range of monitoring functions for maintenance, providing data such as ink levels, errors, and page count.

For the money, it's decent.
The installation was quite easy through the mobile app and connecting to wifi.
The ink cartridges are a bit expensive but they produce a good number of prints.
The print quality is decent.
The build quality and size are quite good.
The only negative for me is that the prints are not fast.
Difficult in the initial settings to take advantage of all the capabilities (Google Drive, scan to mail, etc.). It is better to consult the online manuals. Once you set it up, it is a great machine and you will enjoy it very much. It does much more than I expected.
TIP: Assign it a permanent IP (e.g. 192.168.1.x) from the printer's menu so that it does not receive a different value during restarts, etc., and it will work perfectly from all PCs. It works flawlessly from mobile phones; it prints from wherever you send.
Difficult to connect. If you connect with wifi and then want to connect via ethernet cable, you will need to uninstall the software and reinstall it again. Extremely outdated software - when you have experience with Epson Workforce - without the ability to create additional scanning profiles. Unfortunately, it does not have any firmware since it was released. Also, there is no ability to print remotely (unlike Epson). Disappointed for the money it costs. I have no experience with the inks and their durability
I recently bought it for home use because I wanted to scan and print double-sided, the big downside is that it doesn't print borderless photos like the MX-920 that I had and unfortunately Canon doesn't release any updated equivalent all-in-one machine...
Well... after several months of use, I can write a more detailed review about this printer.
Let's start with its disadvantages:
- The MAJOR issue with this printer is that it is an ONLINE printer, meaning it does not directly connect to the computer, but the PC "finds" the printer through the internet. Firstly, if you have any issues with your LOCAL NETWORK at that moment, the printer will not be "visible" on your computer - so it won't be able to print! On the other hand, it will be a struggle to set it up, to finally get it recognized by the computer (eventually!). You will have to install the drivers OVER 3-4 times because (without understanding why) they stop working after a while (and require reinstallation!). You will also have to set a STATIC IP address because it changes frequently (on its own!) and AGAIN the computer won't be able to "see" it, etc, etc!
- Average build quality. Cheap plastics that make you afraid to touch them and apply pressure, fearing they might break. I haven't experienced this (hopefully never will), but it gives you that impression - that it has a "cheap" construction.
- VERY short cable, about ONE AND A HALF meters long! So, if you are in my situation where I have taken up all the sockets on the power strip from the left side (of the PC), you have to connect it from the other side... which for me is towards the balcony door... and I have to STRETCH A STRAIGHT LINE (at chest height) with the cable to reach the opposite wall - and of course, when I finish printing, I have to disconnect it because you simply can't have a "booby-trap" at chest height in your workspace!
- The software and other features that the machine has are simply outdated (for the year 2021), very limited and old-fashioned. I expected a more user-friendly UI and menu, and something more modern in general.
Advantages:
- WHEN AND IF the computer "sees" the printer (lol!)... the printouts are amazing! We're talking about extremely fast printing! You don't even have time to press the "Print" button and it has already started printing, and you can hear the pen running at a "lightning" speed!
- VERY GOOD PRINT QUALITY. Even the highest resolutions (from the internet, etc.) come out well-printed. I believe you will be very satisfied with the printing results.
- Scanning is also very good and fast. Excellent results, even with the smallest details.
- Relatively user-friendly menu (on the machine itself, I mean, on the LED touch screen).
- A very compact machine, it looks like a small travel suitcase - it doesn't take up much space, which is a good thing, of course.
Average:
- The ink consumption is neither high nor low. Firstly, it has 4 cartridges. BLACK & R/G/B (the colors are separated into RED/GREEN/BLUE). It would be good to have the "MONOCHROME" option permanently, since most of the time you won't care about color printing, so it's better to consume the BY FAR LARGER BLACK INK cartridge.
That's about it...
A very good machine indeed, but with several significant disadvantages that you should consider.
