Multifunctional A3 printers come equipped with various means and ways. Some come equipped with all the bells and whistles you could ever need, whilst making some small sacrifices here and there. Others come equipped with a small handful of items, which may be tailored to specific niche offices. Here is a list of options to consider in a multifunctional printer:
USB/Flashcard Drives - if you have a USB stick, its nice to know that you can plug it directly into your printer to print directly from a user interface such as a 4.2 LCD screen. This is especially important for photography studios. A person can take photos on their digital camera, come back and place the memory card into the printer. Then they can select whether they wish to print in a4 or A3 style. Some printers print better in both A3 and a4, and some only function well in a certain area. This is where testing and researching is important.
Scanner - if you wish to have a multifunctional printer that can scan, then this feature comes with most mid to high range A3 printers. You want to make sure that the print quality is good from the scan, so make sure you do your homework regarding print quality on all forms of paper.
Fax Machine - if you are a busy office or you are limited with space, then going for something that has a fax machine can be handy for your office. To have everything located in one machine in a corner could be more useful to you than having multiple items scattered throughout your department. This is particularly useful for a home based business.
Copier - as with the scanner, you want to make sure that with monochrome and colour copies that they are of a high standard. You want to make sure that they print both in A3 and a4 sizes with correct resolution, no lines and in top quality. There is no point in buying a copier that is multifunctional if it doesn't perform a variety of services at a high standard.
WIFI and or Network Capability - when you run a busy office, you don't want to necessarily have a mess of cables running everywhere. When you have WIFI connections, you can print directly from the computer to the printer via the internet. Networking your computers at your office saves time in transition therefore making work life more efficient. You will find this feature on the more high end A3 printers, so again, depending on what you need, this may be an option for you.
These are just a few basic points to note when buying a multifunctional A3 printer.
