Standard copy lets you make up to 99 copies and reduce or enlarge from 25 to 400 percent. The feature set is standard for an all-in-one in this price range. As it's a photo-oriented, home all-in-one printer, it lacks fax and network connectivity. The Canon Pixma MP470 offers copy, scan, and photo print features. These costs are a little higher than those for the HP Photosmart C4280, but still reasonable for low-end multifunction inkjet printer. Using the large tanks for best value, we estimate that a black-only print costs about 5.6 cents, while a four-color page costs about 13.7 cents. The regular black costs $16 (220 prints) and the regular color costs $20 (205 prints), while the large black costs $20 (355 prints) and the large color costs $25 (308 prints). It ships with regular capacity cartridges, but you can replace both with high-capacity versions. The Pixma MP470 uses a two-tank ink system: one black and one tricolor. Buttons include task buttons for copy, scan, and memory card modes, menu navigation buttons, and two start buttons-one for black-only and one for color. The control panel is basic, though well-organized.

Embedded on the underside of the panel is a 1.8-inch graphical LCD. The control panel is hidden underneath a flip-up panel on the top side of the printer. The one thing you can't attach to the USB port is a flash thumbdrive the Dell Photo 926 lets you print files from an attached flash drive. You can use it to connect PictBridge cameras for direct printing, or to attach an optional Bluetooth adapter (sold separately) for wireless printing. Hidden away under the memory cards is a PictBridge-enabled USB port (it's so hidden that we missed it on first inspection). The slots accept most common types of memory cards, though some require an adapter (which is not included). Next to the output tray is a small door that conceals two memory card slots. A paper input support flips open in the rear and the front panel of the printer folds open to serve as the output tray.

Because the MP470 lacks an automatic document feeder, you can't scan legal-size documents. The silver scanner lid conceals an A4-size flatbed scanner. The black-and-silver body measures 17.7 inches wide, 13.9 inches deep, and 6.7 inches tall.

The Canon Pixma MP470 uses the same basic design as the Pixma MP510.
