Classification

Distinguish the MFP:

  • by the principles of printing: jet, laser.
  • on a chromaticity: color, black-and-white, color scanning — black-and-white printing.

Advantages of multi-function printers

  • Economy of office or house space.
  • Price. The MFP the printer-copier-scanner-fax costs much cheaper, than all these devices purchased separately.
  • An opportunity to do all range of office works on one universal network device.
  • Convenience of service.
  • The smaller cost of the copy — for example, the cost of the copy of the fax made using the MFP the copier-printer-fax is much lower, than the cost of the copy made using the special fax machine.
  • Possibility of double-sided printing or copying (in some models).
