Canon PIXMA G2012 FAQ’S
Answer – We would say that Canon PIXMA G2012 is an upgraded model than G2010. Firstly because it has 2 extra black cartridges which you cannot get in the 2010 model or even all the other models that come before it.
Answer– Power consumption is not much, but sometimes it takes around a minute to print the first page. The printer can easily work on a UPS inverter. but cannot be used for high-resolution scans because it is not built up for professional usage.
