Characteristics of MFP for home
So, an MFP is a device that includes the following functions:
- seal;
- scanning;
- copier;
- Fax.
On more modern models you can find additional features.
- Built-in ADF paper feed - automatic feed for scanning.
- Double-sided image - duplex, for printing on both sides of the sheet.
- Wi-Fi function - send a document from any device when Wi-Fi is connected.
- Network card - for working on two or more computers.
Important! Determine for yourself why you need an MFP. Since additional functions will add to the price of office equipment. It is also important whether you need color or black and white printing.
There are two types of devices.
- Jet. They are distinguished by a lower price, high quality, but average printing speed. The devices make little noise and have a simple design. But ink consumption is high, and frequent replacement of a cartridge set can exceed the cost of the device itself. 1 set worth 900 rub. consumed per 100 pages.
- Laser. Their main characteristics: average price, high-quality and high printing speed, ease of maintenance and availability of components. 1 set costs 390 rub. needed for 1500 pages.
In addition, it is necessary to evaluate the level of energy consumption, the quality of the manufacturing material, and the refueling method.
