Published specification
What is true of this model and changes how you fix it
These are the properties that decide which procedure applies. Each is read from the manufacturer’s own published figures for this model, not carried over from a sibling that shares its retail name.
- Type — BUSINESS refillable INK TANK all-in-one (MAXIFY)
- A business-class MAXIFY MegaTank AIO — refillable ink BOTTLES with PIGMENT inks (more water/smudge-resistant, business-document oriented) and high-volume features (large paper capacity, fast duplex, fax/ADF). Still inkjet, so the printhead can CLOG if unused.
- Pigment ink + volume
- Pigment inks suit crisp, durable documents; the tank system gives very low running cost for offices. Don't run tanks dry. Initial charging uses some starter ink (normal).
- Connectivity
- Wi-Fi/Ethernet/USB via the Canon app; 'offline' is usually a network/queue issue.

Exact questions
Questions that only have an answer for the Canon MAXIFY GX7021
Each answer below uses this model’s own published figures. The same question asked about a different model in the line has a different answer, which is why it is answered here rather than on a general page.
My Canon MAXIFY GX7021 output smudges or clogs.+
The MAXIFY uses pigment inks that are more smudge-resistant than dye — if it is smudging, make sure the ink is dry before handling and that you are using the correct paper type/setting. If output is faded or streaked, it is a printhead clog (still an inkjet): run the nozzle check and Cleaning/Deep Cleaning, and never let the tanks run fully dry. As a high-volume business tank printer, keeping it used and the tanks topped up keeps it reliable and very low-cost per page.
