The MG5650 took 99 seconds to scan a 6x4in photo at 1,200dpi, which is a little lethargic. Mono A4 copies took just 12 seconds, and colour 25 seconds, while scans were swift up to 600 dots per inch (dpi). At 3.7ppm, colour printing was acceptably quick, although 6x4in photo prints took over two minutes each at the highest print quality. It's fast enough when printing, delivering a first mono page in just nine seconds and going on to reach 11.9 pages per minute (ppm) in our text test. You can switch it off.įortunately, that's the bad news out of the way, as the MG5650 is otherwise hard to fault. Canon's added a new cassette setting where you specify the paper you're loading, but its only discernible purpose is to annoy you with an error message when you're trying to print photos. In use, it's inconsistent and can be fussy and confusing. We've grumbled in the past about the control system used on this MFP, which combines a four-way navigation and OK button with three dedicated selection buttons placed under the screen.
