For the busy home office or small business, multifunction laser printers are definitely the answer. Not only do they save on space, replacing most of your other office machines, like the fax, copier, printer and scanner. They save on costs as well.

Multifunction Laser printers do so much more than the single machines could do, with color scanning, faxing at faster speeds, and printing faster; color copying and duplexing (two sided copying). Most are network ready. They are able to print from external devices like USB inputs, and instead of having to replace four different toners and cartridges, you now only have one to replace. They have large paper trays holding up to 250 sheets, and automatic document feeders for 50 sheets. Some of the multifunction laser printers give an output of up to 50,000 sheets. The fastest print speeds on most are 30 pages per minute, and the slowest is 27 pages per minute.
