Multifunction Printers

Choosing a Multifunction Printer in Kenya

Multifunction printers combine several office functions in one machine. Most models provide printing, scanning and copying, while some also include faxing.

They are also called:

  • All-in-one printers
  • Three-in-one printers
  • Four-in-one printers
  • Print-scan-copy printers
  • Multifunction peripherals

Multifunction printers are used in homes, schools, cyber cafés, clinics, retail businesses and offices where users need to print and digitise documents without purchasing separate devices.

When comparing multifunction printers in Kenya, check:

  • Inkjet, ink-tank or laser technology
  • Print, scan and copy functions
  • Fax capability
  • Flatbed scanner
  • Automatic document feeder
  • Automatic duplex printing
  • Colour or monochrome output
  • Print speed
  • Scan resolution
  • Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi Direct
  • Ethernet connectivity
  • Mobile printing
  • Paper capacity
  • Ink or toner yield
  • Warranty

Three-in-One and Four-in-One Printers

A three-in-one printer normally provides:

  • Printing
  • Scanning
  • Copying

A four-in-one printer adds fax capability.

Fax may still be useful in some medical, legal, administrative and government workflows, but many home users and small businesses do not need it.

Do not pay more for fax unless it is required.

Automatic Document Feeders

An automatic document feeder allows several pages to be scanned, copied or faxed in sequence.

Without an ADF, every page must be placed manually on the scanner glass.

An ADF is particularly useful for:

  • Contracts
  • Application forms
  • Invoices
  • Identification documents
  • Multi-page reports
  • Customer records

Not every multifunction printer includes an ADF. Confirm it in the exact model specifications.
