NEW DELHI: Canon's MAXIFY GX5170, GX6170 and GX7170 are listed at India MRPs of Rs 39,020, Rs 44,376 and Rs 58,614 respectively, inclusive of taxes. The range moves from a print-only machine to multifunction models, with the GX7170 adding fax and single-pass scanning of two-sided originals.
| Model | India MRP | Functions | Paper input | Originals handling |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| MAXIFY GX5170 | Rs 39,020 | Up to 350 sheets | No scanner | |
| MAXIFY GX6170 | Rs 44,376 | Print, scan, copy | Up to 350 sheets | Flatbed and 50-sheet ADF |
| MAXIFY GX7170 | Rs 58,614 | Print, scan, copy, fax | Up to 600 sheets | Flatbed and 50-sheet single-pass duplex ADF |
Price as of 10 November 2026, 00:21 IST. These are the official listed MRPs for the three named printers, not a promise of dealer billing prices. They are distinct machines within the same business ink tank range; the cost difference needs to be read alongside functions, rather than treated as a storage upgrade.
The print engine is the common ground
Canon gives all three an A4 ISO document rate of up to 24 images per minute in monochrome and 15.5 in colour. Automatic two-sided printing is also common to the range. A business moving upwards through these models is therefore adding document-handling capabilities, rather than stepping through three different headline simplex print speeds.
That makes a particular kind of office comparison possible. A reception desk that sends completed documents to print can have a different equipment requirement from the back office that receives signed originals, even when both print similar correspondence. The GX5170 serves the output-only role; the other models also bring paper into a digital workflow.
GX5170: the printer has a defined job
The GX5170 is the simplest configuration here because it prints without supplying a scanner or copier. That can suit a workplace which already has a dedicated scanning arrangement. Adding a multifunction device to every desk is not automatically useful when document intake is handled centrally and users only need networked colour output.
Canon lists Wi-Fi, wired LAN and direct wireless connectivity. Those options let an office plan placement around staff access and existing network points. They do not remove the need to check the computers, applications and print settings used for actual business documents before deploying the machine across a shared workspace.
GX6170: add routine document intake
The GX6170 brings scanning and copying, including a feeder for batches of originals. Its paper input remains in the same capacity class as the GX5170. The clearest reason to distinguish it in an equipment request is therefore the ability to digitise and copy paperwork, rather than a larger supply of blank printing paper.
Its position in the range can make sense for an office working with loose invoices and routine incoming correspondence. Staff should still distinguish the scanner's handling of originals from the printer's automatic duplex output. A general requirement for two-sided document capture should name that task explicitly instead of relying on a broad all-in-one description.
GX7170: duplex capture and more paper
The GX7170 provides the single-pass duplex scanning arrangement and the larger paper supply, alongside fax. That is a more specific combination than simply being the costliest model in this list. It is relevant when the office receives two-sided originals and wants to reduce both document turning and interruptions to replenish blank paper.
Fax should be assessed as an actual workplace requirement. Its presence does not make every other task better. A team which sends and receives documents digitally may instead put greater weight on the scanner and paper trays when explaining why this configuration belongs in its workflow.
Ink yields require the mode and conditions
Canon's regional announcement gives replacement-ink yields of up to 6,000 monochrome pages or 14,000 colour pages in the standard conditions described. The higher claims of up to 9,000 and 21,000 apply to Economy mode, which lowers print density. Colour yield is based on a composite set, and initial bundled ink is treated differently because setup fills the print system.
Those distinctions matter when comparing running-cost claims. A business should compare documents at the quality it actually needs, rather than divide the largest available yield figure into a supply cost and call the result a guaranteed operating bill. Real use includes different document coverage and maintenance activity.
Who each configuration is for
The GX5170 suits output-only work, the GX6170 adds everyday scanning and copying, and the GX7170 addresses duplex-original intake with a larger paper supply.
