CNET editors' buying advice

We have not reviewed this product but here is CNET's buying advice on Multifunction Devices. This content was chosen based on the features included with this model of multifunction device.

Entrepreneur Printer

If you work from a home office frequently or run a small business, a multi-function printer (MFP) is an excellent choice. Also known as all-in-ones (AIOs), these multitalented devices combine an inkjet or a laser printer with a copier, a scanner, and a fax machine, and save both space and money. Though inkjet models start as low as $100, we recommend spending slightly more for a model that includes standalone faxing and has an auto document feeder (ADF) for easily faxing and copying multipage documents.
