Operable entirely from the front thanks to its front-loading D-ADF, this compact 3-in-1 refillable ink printer is designed to deliver maximum productivity, even in smaller and confined spaces such as under counters or desks. With its refillable ink tanks offering high-speed, high-quality and low cost printing, plus Wi-Fi printing and enhanced network security, the MAXIFY GX6550 is a perfect fit for workplaces of all shapes and sizes.
Front-only operation and compact printing
Operate the printer entirely from the front thanks to its front-loading duplex 35-sheet ADF with translucent tray, ideal for confined spaces such as under counters or desks.
Simple, fast card scanning
Scan ID cards and small documents quickly and easily with a smart design that removes the need to fully open the scanner.
Low costs that stay low
Benefit from low cost printing with huge yields of 14,000 pages from a set of colour ink bottles or 6,000 pages from a black ink bottle. Switch to Economy mode for even greater savings.
Durable double-sided documents
Print stand-out documents at speeds of 24 ipm in black and 15.5 ipm in colour. Pigment-based inks deliver documents that are marker, friction and water resistant.
Compact yet highly capable
Make light work of busy schedules with a 6.9cm/2.7” colour LCD touch screen, 250 sheet cassette and 100 sheet rear feed. Handle diverse media – even print banners up to 1.2m in length.
Get connected
Enhanced security keeps the printer safe on your network, while Wi-Fi allows cable-free printing from the Canon PRINT app, AirPrint, Mopria and the cloud.
Mac, Windows and Chrome
Seamlessly connect your computer and printer – MAXIFY GX6550 works with macOS, Windows and Chrome computer operating systems.
