Read some of the questions we commonly get asked about our Printers and MFPs services.
A standard printer is designed primarily for printing, while a multi-functional printer, or MFP, combines several document functions in one device. This usually includes printing, scanning, copying, and sometimes faxing. More importantly, modern MFPs support wider document solutions and automated workflows, helping to improve document security, streamline administration, and manage information more efficiently.
This depends on your budget, print volumes, and how often your requirements change. Buying can suit organisations that want full ownership and have predictable needs. Leasing can make costs easier to manage, reduce upfront spend, and give your business more flexibility to upgrade devices as technology or usage changes.
The right device depends on how many users need access, how much you print each month, the types of documents you produce, and whether your teams need features such as secure print release, high-speed scanning, cloud connectivity, or finishing options. A smaller office may only need a compact MFP, while larger organisations may require higher-capacity devices.
Yes, they can be if not managed properly. Modern printers and MFPs are connected devices, which means they should be treated as part of your wider IT environment. Security measures such as user authentication, secure print release, access controls, firmware updates, and encrypted data handling all help to reduce risk and protect your data.
Yes. The right MFP can help reduce unnecessary printing, consolidate multiple devices, improve energy efficiency, and give better visibility of usage across teams. When combined with print management tools, you can track print behaviour, set rules and control costs.
Yes. Many modern MFPs can scan directly to cloud platforms, email, document management systems, or shared folders. This reduces manual administration, speeds up document handling, and makes information easier to store and share.
There is no fixed rule, but many businesses review their print devices every three to five years. Replacement may be worth considering sooner if devices are becoming unreliable, expensive to run, difficult to secure, or unable to support newer cloud and document management requirements.
