MFP - Business advantages

Your benefits

Why you should add a multifunction printer to your office
Traditionally businesses have relied upon a variety of hardcopy tools, including printers, fax machines and copiers, to create and distribute business content.

While the functionality offered by these tools remains important, advances in digital technology, the rise of the Internet and the increasing popularity of email have changed the hardcopy needs of users. By adequately addressing these hardcopy needs, a business can increase user productivity and operating efficiency - compelling reasons for choosing the right hardcopy solution.

However, before you can select the right solution, you have to have an understanding of document creation.
Save costs by supporting one device instead of four
Reduce total cost of ownership, storage requirements and the number of service interruptions by managing fewer consumables
Use 40 to 50 percent less floor space than the full compliment of individual products
Improve productivity and workflow by locating more capabilities closer to users
Same quality output as single function printers

Industry data indicates that most copy and print jobs are small:

Your benefits in daily work

Typical print jobs are 5 pages or fewer in length
Average copy jobs consists of only 7.5 copies

Therefore, businesses need a hardcopy solution capable of producing large numbers of small jobs. The Gartner Group has found that 70 percent of all copy jobs start at the printer. This data suggests the majority of businesses would be better served by a network-enabled, printer-copier combination that offers document-finishing capabilities rather than a standalone, high-capacity copier
