Rear tray holds about 100 sheets of plain paper.
Ink Yield & Cost

Colour bottles: ~7,000 pages each (total for C, M, Y) — so you can print a lot between refills.
🧠 Best Suited For
High-volume document printing on a budget

⚠️ Limitations
Print-only — no scanner or copier.
No Wi-Fi or mobile printing — works via USB cable only.
Mac compatibility can be limited (may require specific drivers).
If you need wireless printing, scanning, or copying, consider models like the (wireless all-in-one) Canon PIXMA G3010 instead — but for straightforward, low-cost printing only, the G1010 is a solid choice.
