Why Buy an All-in-One Printer?

There was a time not too long ago, when the typical home office had a separate machine for copying, printing, scanning, and faxing. Gone are those days. Today’s All-In-One printers offer a variety of features, consolidating all those devices into one, saving time and space.

Many All-In-One printers go beyond the typical scanner/fax/printer combo. Many include memory card slots, allowing for easy printing of photos. Others have built-in wireless capabilities, making it even easier to share the printer on a network with other computers.

Since your All-In-One printer is just that, all-in-one, there is only one cable needed to connect it to the computer. It also only requires one power outlet.

All-In-One printers are available in both inkjet and laser technologies. Inkjet will typically cost less than laser, although laser printers are decreasing in price as they become more popular with the average consumer.
