Starter MFP for the Home Office

Saturday March 22, 2008

MFP stands for Multi-Function Printer. These are the all-in-one machines that print, fax, copy, and scan documents.

As much as we want to go completely paperless for minimum clutter, in the course of doing business, we inevitably need to print, fax, copy or scan some paper. Unfortunately, buying home office hardware can quickly bust your startup budget. That's where MFPs come into play.

MFPs are useful for home offices because they:

  1. take up less space versus several single-purpose machines, and
  2. are cheaper than buying each function separately.

If you're gearing up your home office, you may want to check out these affordable multi-function laser printers that fax, copy, and scan.  (The prices are for trusted, featured merchants.  There may be lower prices from smaller vendors.)
