A typical MFP may act as a combination of some or all of the following devices: email, fax, photocopier, printer, scanner.\r\nMFP manufacturers traditionally divided MFPs into various segments. The segments roughly divided the MFPs according to their speed in pages-per-minute (ppm) and duty-cycle/robustness. However, many manufacturers are beginning to avoid the segment definition for their products, as speed and basic functionality alone do not always differentiate the many features that the devices include. Two-color MFPs of a similar speed may end in the same segment, despite having potentially very different feature-sets, and therefore very different prices. From a marketing perspective, the manufacturer of the more expensive MFP would want to differentiate their product as much as possible to justify the price difference, and therefore avoids the segment definition.\r\nMany MFP types, regardless of the category they fall into, also come in a &quot;printer only&quot; variety, which is the same model without the scanner unit included. This can even occur with devices where the scanner unit physically appears highly integrated into the product.\r\nAs of 2013, almost all printer manufacturers offer multifunction printers. They are designed for home, small business, enterprise, and commercial use. Naturally, the cost, usability, robustness, throughput, output quality, etc. all vary with the various use cases. However, they all generally do the same functions; Print, Scan, Fax, and Photocopy. In the commercial/enterprise area, most MFP has used laser-printer technology, while the personal, SOHO environments, utilize inkjet methods. Typically, inkjet printers have struggled with delivering the performance and color-saturation demanded by enterprise/large business use. However, HP has recently launched a business-grade MFP using inkjet technology.\r\nIn any case, instead of rigidly defined segments based on speed, more general definitions based on the intended target audience and capabilities are becoming much more common as of 2013. While the sector lacks formal definitions, it is commonly agreed amongst MFP manufacturers that the products fall roughly into the following categories: all-in-one, SOHO MFP, office MFP, production printing MFP.","materialsDescription":" <span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">What is a multifunction printer?</span>\r\nA multifunction printer (MFP) is a device that consolidates the functionality of a printer, copier, scanner and/or fax into one machine. Multifunction printers are a common choice for budget-minded businesses that want to consolidate assets, reduce costs and improve workflow. As you move to more digital workflows, take a look at our list of multifunction printers specifically recommended for scanning documents.\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Multifunction Printer Evaluation Considerations</span>\r\nTo make an informed decision about what multifunction printer is right for you, you need to ask the right questions. Here are the 10 things you must know before you buy a multifunction printer.\r\n<span style=\"font-style: italic; \"><span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">1. Know your requirements.</span></span>\r\nUnderstand what you need the multifunction printer to do for you and your end users. Beyond printing and copying, how do you want to use the multifunction printer to help manage documents, reduce paper, simplify workflow, scan to the cloud, work remotely, etc.? How many copy, print, fax, scan and email jobs will you run each day? How many users will share the device? Will you need it to be color capable? Wireless? Mobile- and cloud-connected? There are a number of requirements to consider.\r\n<span style=\"font-style: italic; \"><span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">2. Know the total cost of ownership (TCO) and cost/value benefits.</span></span>\r\nWhen evaluating a multifunction printer, beware of looking only at the cost of the initial hardware. There are a number of other factors to consider, including the cost of supplies. Once ink costs are taken into consideration, inkjet multifunction printers, initially perceived as being low-cost, often turn out to have an equivalent or higher TCO than the better-performing laser multifunction printers. TCO can also increase significantly for devices that are hard to use and maintain, unreliable, or lack the features and capability to efficiently and effectively produce the results you need.\r\nYour multifunction printer can become a useful asset in managing and controlling costs for printing and imaging, and can also add new capabilities to your organization if you choose wisely. Consider how multifunction printers can address total cost of ownership for printing and imaging assets, better consolidate and improve management of resources across the organization, and improve business process efficiency.\r\n<span style=\"font-style: italic; \"><span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">3. Know what third parties have to say.</span></span>\r\nCompare the data on the actual performance and management and support issues promoted on the vendor's specification sheets with data from independent testing agencies. What are experienced people in the industry saying about the quality and performance of the product you are considering?\r\n<span style=\"font-style: italic; \"><span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">4. Know how easy it is to connect to an existing network.</span></span>\r\nConsider how easily the multifunction printer system will integrate with your existing network. Is it easy to deploy? Does it require minimal start-up training? Does it come with software or wizards to guide you through installation, troubleshooting and upgrading?\r\nIf your workgroup needs to print from multiple, distributed devices (smartphones, tablets, laptops, etc.) to one easily accessible location, then consider buying a wireless, or WiFi, multifunction printer. WiFi multifunction printers connect to a network without needing to be hard-wired or cabled into that network. This enables easy mobile printing, without unsightly cords to trip over.\r\n<span style=\"font-style: italic; \"><span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">5. Know how easy it is to use.</span></span>\r\nPrevent bottlenecks and costly employee downtime by finding a multifunction printer that's easy to operate. Check for intuitive user interfaces, minimal training requirements, and easily accessible online help and documentation. If you do need support, check that the product is backed by manufacturer-provided service and support coverage.\r\nTablet-like interfaces make the newest-generation multifunction printers especially easy to use. They let you touch, swipe, pinch and scroll just like you would on a smartphone or tablet. And with apps integrated into the interface, you can add, delete or swap tools for your own customized workflows.\r\nMobile- and cloud-connected multifunction printers make it easy to work from just about anywhere. On these MFPs, apps become your shortcut for downloading, sharing, printing, scanning, distributing -- even translating -- documents on the go.\r\n<span style=\"font-style: italic; \"><span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">6. Know its multitasking abilities.</span></span>\r\nLook for a multifunction printer that can truly multifunction. Can users access each function they need, even if other functions are already in use? Be aware that some products, such as All-in-Ones (AiOs), offer multiple functions all in one device, but may not multitask simultaneously. If they cannot deliver all the functions of a multifunction printer concurrently, then you may risk downtime due to bottlenecks.\r\n<span style=\"font-style: italic;\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">7. Know its bi-directional communication capabilities.</span></span>\r\nA failure to communicate timely and accurate information to users and IT administrators on the status of jobs, queues, and devices will result in more intervention by you and your staff to solve, prevent or anticipate problems. Solid bi-directional communication, both at the multifunction printer and across the network is essential to keeping a product running consistently. Look for print job and device status capabilities from the desktop and the ability to view all job queues at the device and across the network.\r\n<span style=\"font-style: italic;\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">8. Know the available device management, remote intelligence and support.</span></span>\r\nConsider the vendor's commitment to providing robust device and fleet management tools and utilities. This is something you may want now or in the future. Look for device relationship management software that optimizes the multifunction printer’s availability and uptime.
