Category:
A multifunctional is really an all-in-one device; it is both a scanner and a printer, and often even has a fax function. So effectively it's a copier, but one that has the scanning and printing functions available separately. All this is a great advantage when you have limited office space. Moreover, you will be able to work faster and more efficiently by using the device's convenient special functions.
