Selecting multifunctional printers can be a daunting task. These suggestions should make your job easier.

Take a look at the footprint of each MFP you are considering. Do you have adequate space to house that machine, including all of its finishing options? Make sure you allow for enough space for the MFP to properly vent and access for the technician when he or she needs to troubleshoot a problem and make repairs. Make sure you have electrical outlets and a network drop in the location where you will be placing the new multi-functional device. You will need to check with each vendor for specific space and electrical requirements.
