Canon MX452 Connects To Wifi [Step By Step Guide]
Check that you have the necessary network credentials, and try resetting the printer’s network settings if you are having trouble getting the Canon MX452 Connects To Wifi.
The Canon Pixma MX452 is one of the few multifunction printers (MFPs) in its price range better suited to business than residential uses, as suggested by its name. The focus is evident in its faxing capabilities and automatic document feeder (ADF), among other office-specific features.
That doesn’t mean you can’t buy it just for home usage, but it does mean that it works best as a personal printer in any size workplace or a dual duty as a home and home-office printer.
The Brother MFC-J430w, in this category and a direct rival, and the MX452 are PC-based printers, scanners, and fax machines that can function independently as standalone copiers and fax machines.
Like most MFPs for office usage, it has a letter-size flatbed and an ADF that can handle multipage documents and legal-sized pages. The ADF outperforms the MFC-J430w, having a 30-page input capacity. Another excellent touch is the capability to scan from a USB memory key.

Setup, Speed, And Output Quality
The setup of the MX452 was routine. I used a USB cord to link it to a Windows Vista computer for my tests. Unfortunately, the speed was somewhat slow.
The MX452 performs significantly better on output quality than speed, which is good news. In my tests, text quality was higher than most inkjet MFPs can achieve, making it suitable for the bulk of corporate applications.
The graphics output was typical for an inkjet MFP, making it suitable for any internal business demand, including PowerPoint presentations and similar documents.
Your level of critical eye will determine whether the visuals are suitable for output intended for a significant client or customer.
Photos needed to meet the standard for par quality. That translates to true photo quality, although it’s on par with the subpar photos you might find at a drugstore.
The Canon Pixma MX452 can compete head-to-head with the Brother MFC-J430w in most respects. The Brother printer is preferable for most offices because of its one drawback—speed.
On the other hand, the Canon printer provides marginally superior graphics output and at least one standout convenience that the MFC-J430w lacks, namely the capacity to scan to a USB memory key.
The MX452 would be a better option if that is your priority rather than speed. In any event, it’s a sensible decision.
