Product Features

Exceptional Page Yields for Ultra-Low Cost of Ownership

The MegaTank system is designed for maximum economy. Using GI-46 pigment ink bottles, this printer delivers an industry-leading page yield—up to 6,000 standard black and 14,000 standard color pages per bottle set. In Economy mode, yields increase to 9,000 black and 21,000 color pages, offering one of the lowest costs per page (CPP) and total cost of ownership (TCO) in its class.

Business-Fast Printing with Pigment Ink Durability

Engineered for productivity, the GX4040 prints at speeds up to 18 images per minute (ipm) in black and 13 ipm in color, with a first page out in as little as 8 seconds. It uses Canon’s all-pigment ink system, producing water-resistant, smudge-resistant, and marker-resistant documents with excellent readability, ideal for professional handouts and archival materials.

Comprehensive All-in-One Functionality with ADF and Fax

This multifunction powerhouse includes print, scan, copy, and fax capabilities. The 35-sheet ADF handles multi-page document scanning, copying, and faxing efficiently. Advanced copy functions include two-sided copying, ID card copy, and multi-page layout, while the fax supports both color and black-and-white transmission with a 250-page memory.

High Paper Capacity and Versatile Media Handling

Minimize interruptions with a large total paper capacity. A 250-sheet front cassette and a 100-sheet rear tray keep high-volume jobs running smoothly. A dedicated rear flat tray supports thick cardstock, paperboard (up to 0.7mm), and specialty media, including banners up to 1200mm long, magnetic paper, and iron-on transfers, enabling in-house production of marketing materials.

Professional Connectivity and Management

Built for the modern office with Ethernet for stable network integration, dual-band Wi-Fi (2.4GHz & 5GHz), and USB. It supports a wide range of mobile and cloud printing options via the Canon PRINT app, Apple AirPrint, PIXMA Cloud Link, and Mopria, and is compatible with smart assistants like Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant.

Intuitive Color Touchscreen Interface

Navigate features and settings with ease using the responsive 6.7cm (2.7-inch) color LCD touchscreen. This intuitive interface provides clear status information, easy access to all functions, and supports 33 display languages, making operation straightforward in diverse environments.

User-Replaceable Maintenance for Minimal Downtime

Maximize uptime with a user-replaceable maintenance cartridge (MC-G03), easily accessible from the front of the printer. This design allows users to perform key maintenance themselves, reducing service calls and keeping the printer running smoothly with minimal professional intervention.
