While not as bulky as some multifunction machines, the M1536dnf is not exactly small. It measures 14.7 inches by 13.5 inches by 17.4 inches, but it weighs only 25.8 pounds, making it fairly easy to move around when necessary. It includes a 250-sheet standard paper tray and a 10-sheet priority tray for alternate media types. The unit has a built-in ethernet port for connecting it to a wired networking and sharing it among multiple computers.

Although the printer does not have wireless printing capabilities, it does support Apple’s Airprint service, which allows you to print wirelessly from any iPad, iPhone, or iPod Touch device. This is a convenient feature, but not likely to be a must-have feature for most office environments.

An automatic document feeder is included on the top of the machine, and supports two-sided scanning and copying. In addition, the machine features and ID scan feature that can scan an ID card and print both sides of the card on a single sheet of paper. This avoids the typical procedure of copying one side of an ID then scanning it along with the other side, wasting paper. A small feature like this could be very useful for businesses that must scan ID cards on a regular basis.

Overall, the LaserJet Pro M1536dnf is a solid machine for the small or medium office. Its monochrome printing speeds are impressive, but lack of color printing and a slightly bulky design may turn some buyers away.

The design of the machine keeps things simple and fairly compact. It measures 7.1 inches by 15.8 inches by 17.4 inches (HWD) and weighs only 13.4 pounds, making it a good choice for home users or those with limited space.

One of the most unique features of the D110a is its TouchSmart frame, which acts as the menu for the printer and also as a small interface for interacting with the included software. Using the TouchSmart frame, users can create a variety of different print projects from scanned photos or those stored on a connected memory card. They can even print coupons, photos, and other items directly from the web without the need for a computer. This feature is limited to only the types of sites the software is designed to browse, however, so don’t expect a full-featured browser.

Despite all of its niche features, the Photosmart D110a is also a solid color printer. Print quality is very sharp in both color and monochrome, and print speeds are fast, at up to 29 pages per minute in black and 23 pages per minute in color. It is an excellent printer for home users or even small offices, and if its niche features such as AirPlay support are useful to buyers, it will be an even better value for the price.

Efficiency and speed are both readily available in the 8290. It can print at a rate of up to 215 square feet per hour to help keep production speed rolling along. Also adding to its efficiency is the fact that users can add ink while the printer is running, eliminating slowdowns that can cause delays and revenue loss. Support for motorized winder and un-winder mechanisms also allow the printer to operate unattended.

The printer supports multiple media types, such as coated media and uncoated vinyl. It uses piezoelectric inkjet technology in its ink mechanism, which provides a solid balance of quality and speed.

When faster speeds or lower ink usage are required, users have a choice between different printing resolutions. Resolutions of 360, 540, 720, and 1440 dpi are available depending on the specific needs of the project. The printer can also operate in four-color or six-color ink mode for different balances of quality and ink usage.

For a wide-format printer, the design of the 8290 manages to keep things relatively compact. The device measures 49.2 inches by 112 inches by 29.5 inches (HWD). The minimum printing width of the machine is 24 inches, which could limit users from using it for smaller projects. The printer supports EPS, PDF, JPEG, TIFF, and postscript file formats.

When it comes to large format printing, the Xerox 8290 has the size and versatility to handle nearly any project you can throw at it. Its support for coated and uncoated media makes it suited for indoor and outdoor printing, and its ability to operate unattended makes an efficient addition to your shop.

The unit can print, scan, copy, and fax right out of the box. It also includes a built-in ethernet port for connecting directly to a network. This allows many of its functions to work over the network connection, giving users the ability to scan documents directly to a computer, a network location, email, or even a USB flash drive connected to its built-in USB port. The 50-sheet automatic document feeder makes it simple to scan multiple sheets at once, and is also used for copies and faxes. Duplexing is supported for scanning and printing, for easily handling two-sided documents.

One of the most impressive features of the MC860-MFP is its ability to handle media up to tabloid sizes. It can even print banners up to 11.6 x 47.24 inches in size. Multiple configurations are available, each with a different paper capacity. Buyers can choose from a single-tray model with a 400-sheet capacity, a 2-tray model with a 930-sheet capacity, or a 3-tray model with a 1,460-sheet capacity. This gives small business buyers the opportunity to save money on features they don’t need while giving larger offices the larger capacities they require.

Other nice touches include a front-mounted USB port for connecting thumb drives and a 5.8 inch touch screen for easy control of the device. The unit also includes both USB 2.0 and parallel connections for those who wish to connect it directly to a computer.

With a variety of configurations and a compact design, the MC860-MFP will appeal to both small and large office users with its excellent print quality and wide range of features. Its price is a bit higher than competing models, but its ability to handle large formats will be worth the premium for many buyers.

Though the Brother MFC-9010CN is marketed as an all-in-one device, its scanning and copying features are good enough that some buyers may purchase it for this use alone. Since the machine can operate quite well in standalone mode, without the need for a computer, it works very well simply as an affordable copier, and scanning directly to a media card eliminates yet another need for a computer connection.

Of course, using the machine only as a scanner and copier would be under-utilizing its excellent color printing function. The unit can print at resolutions up to 600×2400 dpi for high-quality color prints, and print speeds are up to 17 pages per minute.

In addition to connecting the printer to a single machine via USB, users can also connect directly to a network with the built-in ethernet port. This allows it to be easily shared among multiple users in a connected office, and the scanning function supports sending documents directly to email or a location on the network, making it easy to integrate this function into a shared environment as well. Toner cartridges are easy to install and replace, and offer an affordable cost per page that will be welcome to those on a tight budget.

With many great features and functions in a single machine, the Brother MFC-9010CN may be the only printing device a small office needs. Its affordable upfront price and low-cost toner make it an excellent value.

One of the most impressive aspects of the P1600 series is its compact design, despite its fast speeds and sharp output quality. The unit measures 9.69 inches by 15.24 inches by 11.18 inches, and weighs only 15.4 pounds.

While the low upfront price of the P1600 series is impressive, that is only the beginning of its cost savings. HP has built this model from the ground up to save money for small offices. Its energy-saving features such as Instant-On Technology allow the unit to use less power throughout the day without having to wait for print jobs to start printing. Users will also save wasted paper and ink with HP’s Smart Web Printing software, which allows users to print only the necessary parts of a web page or document without unnecessary elements such as ads. Built-in automatic duplex printing allows easy two-sided printing, which saves paper when enabled as the default option.

The printer integrates easily into a wired network with its built-in ethernet port, allowing it to be up and running with no hassle. Print speeds are fast, at up to 26 pages per minute, and first page out times are as fast as 7 seconds, meaning less waiting for tasks to start.

The combination of great performance, money-saving features, and a low upfront price make the HP LaserJet Pro P1600 a great choice for the small office environment. Those who want a simple network printer for a low price will be very impressed by its speed, reliability, and capacity.

The OfficeJet 6500 can print, fax, scan, and copy. Printing and scanning can be done wirelessly, and users also have the option of saving scanned documents to a memory card with the included memory card slots.

For home users who need the multifunction capabilities, home office users who want a robust machine, or small offices who want the wireless connectivity, the HP Officejet 6500 is a great solution. Its low price and multitude of features make it a great value.

Looking at the many features of the Officejet Pro 8500A, one might suspect that many sacrifices have been made, but this doesn’t seem to be the case. For example, print speed is up to 35 pages per minute for black and 34 pages per minute, which is faster than many laser models of only a few years ago. Print quality has not been sacrificed either, as the output quality of the 8500A is among the best in its class.

The multifunction features of the Officejet Pro 8500A allow it to print, scan, copy, and fax. There is a large 50-sheet automatic document feeder, which makes scanning, copying, or faxing multiple pages at a time an easy and efficient process.

Perhaps one of the most eye-catching features of this machine is the vivid color touch screen. Beyond simple wow factor, this 3.5 inch interface takes out much of the complexity of printing, while at the same time making the experience much more customizable and individual across the spectrum of your work.

Even beyond its interface, this printer embraces efficiency. Built to work seamlessly on both wired and wireless networks, this machine can handle jobs from a multitude of users at once, and can even handle jobs via a USB port on its front panel, for quick and convenient printing without the hassle of booting up and logging into a computer (which definitely comes in handy when you forgot to print that one thing before the big meeting). It also comes equipped with an automatic document feeder capable of scanning and faxing multipage projects, doing more work so you don’t have to.
