Choosing an All In One Printer

An _*all in one printer*_ (“multifunction printer”:http://cartridge.co.za/articles/43-the-multifunction-printer) is a printer that has more than one function, and usually includes a scanner, fax, email, photo copier and, of course, a printer. An all in one printer can therefore be called a machine which is an all in one printer, scanner, copier, fax and email.

The options of a wired or wireless all in one printer are available, as well as an inkjet or laser all in one printer. Inkjet all in one printers use ink cartridges, with liquid ink, to print, whereas laser all in one printers use laser cartridges to print, which is very cost effective if you have many documents to print on a regular basis. The type you choose will depend largely on your needs.

Advantages of an All In One Printer

There are many different advantages to buying a printer that is an all in one printer, scanner, copier, fax and email. It is important to know what the advantages are before you buy, so you can be aware of what to expect from an all in one printer. Some of these advantages will be briefly discussed below.

* The top advantage of all in one printers is convenience. To have one all in one printer that performs all the functions of various separate machines, and to be able to select which function you want to use quickly and simply, is much less time consuming and requires less effort than using several separate machines.

* Having an all in one printer saves space, as you don’t need to have a separate machine for every separate function. Saving space in your office or home reduces clutter, as you will have more space for storage or to spread out other items.

* You will save in electrical costs, as you won’t have various machines using electricity. One machine with many functions will draw less electricity than many machines with different functions.

* It is easier to install one machine than it is to install many different ones.

* In the case of having a wired all in one printer, there are also fewer wires with one all in one printer than there would be with many machines. This looks neater, poses less of a risk of an electrical fault, and reduces the amount of plug points required. A wireless all in one printer, fax, copier, scanner and email means having to worry about even less wires, as the only wire that would be required is the power cable.

* Should you need to rearrange or move furniture between rooms, it is much easier to move the all in one printer than it is to move several different machines. There is a greater risk of damage, to the machine itself and the surroundings, when moving many machines than there is in moving one all in one printer.
