| Printing |
Multifunction systems allow for the printing of documents of varying sizes. Because multifunction devices are scalable, the volume that can be printed on these systems can also be scaled. However, the strongest benefits of multifunction systems over most laser printers are lower costs and greater productivity. Moreover, these systems also feature finishing options not typically available with ink-jet or laser printers such as stapling, booklet-making, and three-hole punch.

Lower Operating Costs |
| |
Most multifunction systems feature significantly lower operating costs in comparison to most ink-jet and laser printers. The cartridge-based system of a laser printer often includes proprietary technology that creates a greater cost for replacing toner and parts. High-end multifunction devices utilize independent toner cartridges and highly durable replacement parts that can substantially reduce the total cost of operation.

High Performance Output |
| |
Business operates today at a much faster pace than ever before. As a result, requiring your employees to wait for the output of any document can significantly hamper office productivity. Multifunction devices are designed to be scalable to include greater speeds and quality for both color and black & white output, thus increasing your operational efficiency.

Unique Finishing Features |
| |
Most ink-jet and laser printers lack production-level finishing options. This lack of production capability necessitates offline finishing, which can decrease overall operational efficiency. Multifunction devices offer production-quality finishing options like offset stacking, multi-position stapling, booklet-making, online bindery options, and three-hole punching.

| Multifunction systems versus printers |
As with anything, there is the right tool for the job. Laser printers are ideally suited for internal, low volume printing applications. Choosing a multifunction system over a printer requires understanding when it is the right tool. For very small print volumes over a long period of time, the higher toner and maintenance costs of a laser printer may be the right choice. However, for mid- to high-end printing applications involving large volumes, the lower toner and maintenance costs of a multifunction system will provide a greater value. Because a multifunction system offers copying, printing, scanning, and faxing, it can provide a greater overall value to your employees than a simple ink-jet or laser printer.
