For best results and satisfaction you must choose them wisely.

As you can see from intro that I have written, multifunction laser printer is device that can work as a printer, scanner, copier and fax machine. Buy purchasing one of those units you will save space on your desk or in office. That is why many people also call those units All in One. They really represent everything you need in your office when we talk about printing your documents, scanning them or faxing them.

If you are thinking to buy one of those all in one printers, pay close attention about their performance and their memory. If you have small office and if you don’t have very big needs when we talk about printing, you could buy unit with 8 MB memory. In case that you frequently print large documents or graphics, then you should consider buying multifunction laser printer with at least 16 MB memory.

When we talk about printer resolution, look for the models with at least 600 x 600 dots per inch because that is acceptable quality for most users. Also if you print large amount of documents on daily basis then you should look for faster laser printer. With faster I mean to look models that can print more than 20 pages per minute. Scanner resolutions for many multifunction laser printers are lower than print quality. Consider units with at least resolution of 9600 dpi or better.

Document faxing is one of their very useful functions. To save time and money pay attention on modem speed and look for 33 kbps models. Some all in one units support advanced faxing features like broadcasting and group dialing. Many cheap models do not offer these advanced features.

Automatic feeder is one feature that you should look for in multifunctional laser printer. Most new printer models have this ability. Some cannon models that I have tested have front loading cassette and can handle 250 pages, they can also handle 35 sheet documents with their automatic document feeder (ADF). If you are heavy user than you should really consider paying more for fast printer with large memory. Keep in mind that some cheap multifunctional laser printers are slow.
