The cassette comprises an auto feeder and there are various types of paper that it can accommodate, such as plain and photo paper, making this a highly versatile printer.

Advantages

The running costs of the Canon MG3100 are low due to the refillable ink tanks and its energy efficiency, which stems from the fact that it automatically switches on and off.
