BMost businesses big or small can benefit from buying or leasing a multi-function printer, or MFP. They copy, fax, scan, and print while increasing productivity and saving you time and money.
Understanding the different features of a MFP printer before you buy will increase office efficiency and help you make a more confident choice. You’ll also avoid investing in features you’ll likely never use.
Choosing the ideal MFP printer
Bells and whistles are great—if you need them. Three factors you should consider before choosing an MFP printer are:
- Which features you and your staff need the most
- How much ink or toner each feature uses
- Whether you might have a future need for a feature
While advanced technology and the cloud have worked towards moving us into a paperless office environment, there will always be a need for printing and copying physical documents. And an MFP printer’s scanner capability is needed to digitally store all those important pieces of paper. The truth is, with workflows everywhere becoming increasingly complex, an MFP printer is need more than ever!
Benefits of an MFP printer
If your business has never used an MFP printer, we’re sure it will soon become the favorite machine in the house. Here’s why:
- It’s convenient. By combining fax, scan, copy, and print abilities in one piece of equipment, you can complete time-sensitive tasks more quickly than you ever thought possible.
- You save money. Though the initial cost may be more, over time you’ll realize savings by not having to replace individual machines or buy multiples brands of supplies. You’ll also realized lower maintenance and repair costs for just one machine.
- It takes up less room. Instead of a printer for every employee or department, one centralized MFP printer means a less cramped workplace and a more organized operation.
- Power costs are lower. One cord for one device means you save on electrical bills.
