Canon MAXIFY GX7160 MegaTank 4-in-1 A4 Colour MFP Printer – Replacement for GX7060

The Canon MAXIFY GX7160 MegaTank is a high-volume A4 colour ink tank multifunction printer designed for small businesses and busy offices requiring Print, Copy, Scan and Fax functionality with exceptionally low ongoing printing costs.

As the current-generation successor to the popular Canon MAXIFY GX7060 MegaTank, the GX7160 retains the same proven Canon GI-66 Black, Cyan, Magenta and Yellow ink bottle system while providing a comprehensive business feature set including automatic duplex printing, automatic duplex scanning, a 50-sheet ADF, two 250-sheet front cassettes, 100-sheet rear feed, Ethernet and Wi-Fi connectivity.

For existing GX7060 users, this is particularly convenient: if you already have spare Genuine Canon GI-66 ink bottles, they can continue to be used with the GX7160.

GX7160 – The Replacement for the Popular GX7060

The MAXIFY GX7160 continues the concept that made the GX7060 an excellent small-business printer: high-volume business printing without the high running costs traditionally associated with cartridge-based office inkjet printers.

For existing GX7060 owners looking to replace an ageing or failed machine, the GX7160 provides an especially practical migration path because it continues to use the Canon GI-66 ink bottle family.

This means customers with unused Genuine Canon GI-66 inks from their GX7060 can continue using those inks with the GX7160 rather than changing to a new consumable platform.

Same Canon GI-66 Ink Platform

The Canon MAXIFY GX7160 uses the same four-colour GI-66 pigment ink system familiar to GX7060 users:

• Canon GI-66BK Black Ink Bottle
• Canon GI-66C Cyan Ink Bottle
• Canon GI-66M Magenta Ink Bottle
• Canon GI-66Y Yellow Ink Bottle

Canon specifies yields of up to approximately 6,000 Black pages and 14,000 Colour pages from replacement ink bottles under its stated testing methodology.

When Economy Mode is used, Canon specifies yields of up to approximately 9,000 Black pages and 21,000 Colour pages.

Actual ink yield varies significantly depending on printed content, settings, usage patterns and other operating conditions.

4-in-1 Business Multifunction Printer

The GX7160 combines four core business functions in one compact desktop device:

• Print – High-volume A4 colour and monochrome business documents
• Copy – Standalone copying with ADF support
• Scan – Flatbed and automatic document feeder scanning
• Fax – Integrated business fax functionality

This makes it particularly suitable for small businesses that want the functionality of a traditional office multifunction device while benefiting from the low running costs of refillable ink tanks.

Fast Business Printing – 24ipm Black / 15.5ipm Colour

The MAXIFY GX7160 delivers document print speeds of up to approximately:

• 24.0 ipm – Black
• 15.5 ipm – Colour

Combined with automatic two-sided printing, the GX7160 is well suited to invoices, reports, correspondence, presentations, forms, marketing materials and other everyday business documents.

Automatic Duplex Printing & Duplex Scanning

The GX7160 includes automatic two-sided printing to reduce paper usage and simplify the production of professional double-sided documents.

It also provides automatic duplex scanning through its document feeder, making it much more efficient to digitise, copy or process double-sided business documents.

This is an important feature for offices regularly working with contracts, invoices, application forms and other multi-page originals.

50-Sheet Automatic Document Feeder

The built-in 50-sheet ADF allows multi-page documents to be scanned, copied or faxed without placing every page individually on the scanner glass.

Together with duplex scanning, this makes the GX7160 substantially more productive for document-heavy office workflows than entry-level MegaTank printers equipped only with a flatbed scanner.

Huge 600-Sheet Paper Capacity

One of the strongest business features of the GX7160 is its substantial standard paper capacity:

• Cassette 1: Up to 250 sheets
• Cassette 2: Up to 250 sheets
• Rear Tray: Up to 100 sheets of plain paper
• Total Plain Paper Capacity: Up to 600 sheets

The two front cassettes allow businesses to keep different paper sizes or types ready for use, while the rear feed provides flexibility for envelopes, specialty media and other supported materials.

Flexible Business Media Handling

The GX7160 supports a broad range of business and creative media, including standard office paper, envelopes, labels and selected specialty media.

The rear feed supports custom media lengths of up to approximately 1,200mm, allowing businesses to produce items such as banners, signage and long-format promotional materials within the printer's supported media specifications.

Wi-Fi, Ethernet & USB Connectivity

The MAXIFY GX7160 provides flexible connectivity for both individual users and shared office environments:

• Wi-Fi
• Wi-Fi Direct / Direct Connection
• Wired Ethernet LAN
• USB-B
• USB-A Flash Drive support
• Canon PRINT app
• Apple AirPrint
• Mopria for compatible Android devices

Businesses can therefore deploy the GX7160 as a wired network printer, wireless shared printer or directly connected workstation printer.

Colour Touchscreen Control

The integrated colour LCD touchscreen provides convenient access to print, copy, scan and fax functions directly from the printer.

Administrators can also restrict selected printer functions where required, while users can customise available features and arrange frequently used functions for easier access.

User-Replaceable Maintenance System

The MAXIFY MegaTank business platform is designed with maintainability in mind. The maintenance cartridge used to collect waste ink generated during normal printing and cleaning operations can be replaced by the user when required.

This helps reduce unnecessary service downtime compared with printers where the waste-ink system requires workshop servicing.
