Hello friends!
Do you use an MFP in your work? Do you know what it is?
The MFP is a multifunction device. Let's take a closer look at these smart machines! They contain most often three devices - a printer, a scanner and a copier "in one bottle."
About ten or fifteen years ago, the printer, scanner and copier were installed in offices as separate devices. Something was used more often (a printer, for example), something less often. These things took up a lot of space on the desktop.
The idea to combine the necessary devices in one was in the air.
At the beginning of the 21st century, the fax (telefax, phototelegraph in the old way) was also actively used for transmission over telephone networks documents to the subscriber. In the MFP they also wanted to shove it.
Bright engineering heads wiped sweat from their foreheads and gave out a crowd of hybrids in the most bizarre combinations.
The MFP contains a printer that uses printing technologies that have been worked out to near perfection. Most often applied jet And laser seal.
At inkjet printing the image is obtained from the smallest color droplets ejected from the nozzles of the print head. The diameter of the nozzles is thinner than a human hair, the number of nozzles of the print head or cartridge can reach several hundred.
The droplet volume has now been reduced to units of picolitres (10‾¹² l).
This is a microscopic value, ant spit!
The smaller the droplet, the more accurately the colors and borders of the image are transmitted.
Four colors of ink are most commonly used: black (black), yellow (yellow), magenta (magenta), blue (cyan).
Inkjet printing combines two fundamentally different - thermal jet And piezoelectric.
In thermal inkjet printing, each nozzle contains a miniature resistive heater.
When a current pulse is applied to the heater, it almost instantly heats up to several hundred degrees.
The resulting steam pushes a drop of ink out of the nozzle, and a new portion of ink enters the nozzle chamber.
The nozzle chamber in the piezoelectric printhead contains a piezoelectric element. When a current pulse is applied to the piezoelectric element, it bends towards the chamber. Its volume decreases, and a drop of ink is pushed out of the nozzle.
Epson uses piezoelectric technology, Hewlett Packard and Canon use thermal inkjet technology.
In laser printing, the image is recorded on a photosensitive drum by means of a very thin laser beam.
The principle of operation of laser printing is similar to that used in old cathode ray tubes. In them, a focused electron flow periodically bypassed all points (image elements), illuminating the necessary ones.
In the initial state, the surface of the photoconductor is charged with a uniform charge.
When submitting a print job, the laser beam periodically moves from one end of the drum to the other by means of a mirror scanning system, forming an image line. The intensity of the beam changes according to the brightness of the image elements in the job.
The place where the beam shone loses its charge. The charge of the place where the beam did not hit remains unchanged.
The recording process is repeated periodically, line by line, over the entire surface of the photoconductor. The photodrum usually has a small diameter, and only part of the image is recorded in one revolution.
The photoreceptor drum then passes its charged surface over a magnetic roller which is covered with toner. Toner is the smallest polymer granules containing metallic inclusions. These inclusions hold the toner on the magnetic roller.
The magnetic toner roller has the same amount of charge as the photoconductor in its original state. Therefore, upon contact, the toner sticks due to the difference in charges only in those places on the surface of the photoconductor where the beam shone.
Then the photoreceptor drum with the stuck tuner comes into contact with a sheet of paper. On the other side of the sheet is pressed charge transfer shaft(corotron), which, due to the difference in charges, pulls the toner from the drum onto the paper.
After that, a sheet of paper with adhered toner is fed into fixing block(furnace), where it is heated to the melting temperature of the toner. The toner melts and adheres to the fibers of the paper, forming a stable image.
There is a variety of laser printing - LED.
In this case, instead of a single laser emitter and a scanning system, a line of miniature LED emitters is used. One of the leaders in LED technology is OKI.
Some Xerox products use solid ink printing technology developed by Tektronix. It uses solid ink, a cross between wax and plasticine, which looks like colored bars.
In an MFP, ink is melted and fed into the print head.
The print head of solid ink printing is similar to the print head inkjet printer. But, unlike it, it is motionless, and occupies the entire width of the page.
The piezoelectric technology already familiar to us is used.
The ink from the print head falls onto a heated metal drum, from which it is transferred to paper, where it instantly solidifies. This technology reduces the cost of color printing.
The image is transferred to paper (or other media) in one revolution of the transfer roller.
Modern MFPs, depending on the class, may have different performance.
Small A4 desktop models tend to have lower capacity, large A3 floor models have more.
For example, the Xerox WorkCentre 6025BI laser MFP prints 10 ppm, while the Xerox WorkCentre 7855 prints 50 ppm.
It should be noted that this maximum numbers. Marketing stuff has not been canceled!
Laser printers can print with different resolution. At higher resolutions, the print speed slows down. It takes more time to write the image to the photoconductor.
In inkjet devices, color printing can be done with different quality. For high-quality (photographic) printing, the speed may decrease factor of. In this case, the print head passes over the print area several times. And it uses more ink!
Each MFP model is positioned for a specific monthly resource.
Depending on the model, it can range from 10 to 200 or more thousand copies per month. Large A3 format combines have a much longer resource than small A4 desktop MFPs.
For example, the laser MFP Xerox WorkCentre 3025BI has a monthly resource of 15 thousand copies, Xerox WorkCentre 7885 - 300 thousand copies.
Modern technology has become much smarter than 10-15 years ago. Qualitative and quantitative characteristics have increased, new functions have appeared. The MFP is a masterpiece of engineering and design!
The intelligence of multifunctional devices allows them to read and remember. An ordinary user does not really need this, but a service engineer needs it.
The MFP counts, in particular, how many copies and what format it printed, how many it scanned and copied. When leasing such complex equipment, it is convenient to pay according to the number of copies.
The multifunction device remembers errors - paper jams in its various parts.
The MFP counts and remembers the resource of the cartridge, photoconductor, and curing unit. Complex and expensive high-performance devices take into account a lot of different parameters!
The MFP, like any technology, is not designed for endless operation.
The service manual indicates the resource in copies or the period of work in years that the device must work out. Or they can indicate the service life of its individual parts.
The matter, however, is complicated by the fact that some users treat complex technology without love and maliciously stick paper with paper clips there. If the MFP could speak, it would remember such professionals with a "kindly quiet word."
Separate parts of the MFP are designed for a much smaller resource, and must be replaced during operation.
So, for example, in the service manual for the Xerox 3635 it is written in black and white:
The photoreceptor drum has an average resource of 10-20 thousand copies. Over time, its surface wears out, and the image becomes increasingly pale.
The fixing block (stove) can have a resource of 100 - 300 thousand copies. Consumables serve even less: cartridges for laser printing - several thousand copies (or even 1.5 - 2), for inkjet printing - even less.
Many MFP models, especially high-performance ones, allow you to control the resource of the photoreceptor, fusing unit and cartridge during operation. Users see on the display of the device that the resource of the cartridge, photoreceptor and stove is decreasing, and they take care of the replacement in a timely manner.
Finishing the first part, we note that some MFPs have one unpleasant feature - the so-called hard stop(work lock).
If the cartridge runs out of toner, the MFP cannot physically print - and everything is clear here. But there are situations when the resource of the photoreceptor ends, but it can still work. Although with the worst quality.
However, a soulless chip in the photoreceptor block tells the printer that the resource has been exhausted, and the electronic brain blocks further work, dumbfounding the user.
But it is not all that bad. In some cases, this counter can be reset and still work.
To be continued.
What is the difference between an MFP and a printer or scanner? Why does someone buy a fax, scanner, printer, copier for a small office, and someone prefers to buy a multifunctional MFP device? The abundance of representatives of technology for printing, scanning, copying documents can lead to a dead end for any budding entrepreneur. Indeed, at the beginning of the development of your business, it is necessary to provide for many nuances, plus to choose the equipment for work. At the same time, it is important to purchase high-quality devices with a long service life, but also save as much as possible. In order to determine which of the devices is better to purchase for the office, let's look at the main characteristics and functions of the MFP and printer.
A printer is a device designed to print text and graphic objects. According to the printing method, printers are:
Depending on the method of applying an imprint on paper, the following types of printing devices are distinguished:
Printers are used both for printing ordinary text documents so for printing promotional booklets, envelopes, business cards or photos.
MFP is a device that combines the functions of several units, such as fax, scanner, printer, copier. Moreover, different devices can be endowed with all of the listed functions at the same time or combine only two or three. Yes, most simple models combine only the properties of a printing device and a scanner.
According to the method of printing, MFPs are divided into:
And also there are devices for color, black and white printing of documents or copies.
The multifunctional device, when used in the office and at home, gives users a number of advantages such as:
In addition to the obvious advantages for multifunctional devices, there are also disadvantages:
Let's determine how the MFP differs from the printer, for this you need to comparative analysis functions, characteristics of these two devices.
Let's define the similarities of a multifunctional device with a printer:
There are many similarities between a multifunctional device and a printer, but there are also significant differences. The most important distinguishing feature of the MFP is that in addition to outputting text or graphic objects to print, this device is able to scan a document, make a photocopy or receive / send a document by fax. What no printer can do, except for printing a document. Therefore, when choosing a multifunctional device, in addition to the requirements for a printing device, it is important to pay attention to its characteristics as a scanner, fax, and copier. For example, the quality of a scanned copy of a document will depend on the extension of the scanning fixture. For the office, it is better to purchase multifunctional devices with a scanner extension from 2400 dpi.
MFP or printer - it is impossible to say for sure which is better for the office or for the home. It all depends on the purpose for which the type of this or that device is acquired. If the user is the owner of a small office, then it is more expedient to purchase a device that combines the functions of several office equipment devices, this will save cash. The compact placement of this device is also important, since one device will take up much less space in the room than three or four different units. For users working from home, purchasing an MFP will be a worthwhile investment. Moreover, the multifunction device with scanner and copier functionality will also be useful for students and family members. In cases where from time to time you only need to print documents, photos, it is better to purchase a regular laser or inkjet printer.

A multifunctional peripheral device (MFP) is a mini-office that combines several of the following devices (two or more): printer, copier, scanner, telephone and fax. It is the optimal solution for a home or small office, allowing rational use of the available space.
Currently, MFPs are produced in two types:
The time has long passed when a multifunctional device combined the capabilities of only a printer, copier and scanner and was intended exclusively for office use. Today on sale are designs suitable for home installation. With the help of the MFP, you can translate e-book in an ordinary paper format, print a photo, a postcard, and so on. There are a lot of equipment models on the market, so it’s easy to get confused in them.
All MFPs are divided into inkjet and laser.
The former are much cheaper, provide high-resolution printing, have simple design making them easier to use. However, they have a high cost per print, the ink is consumed quickly and dries when the device is idle for a long time. A set of cartridges is cheap, but they will have to be refilled often, and you can do it yourself.
Laser MFPs print much faster, and one print is much cheaper due to low toner consumption, but they themselves are more expensive. They are suitable if there is a need to print large volumes of images. Cartridges are quite expensive, but refilling is cheap, it is done less frequently than on inkjet MFPs.
An important role in the choice is played by the price of the device, the cost of maintenance and other costs associated with its operation. In addition, you should pay attention to a number of points in order to work with the device as conveniently as possible:
When compiling the ranking of the best MFPs in 2019, we took into account all these indicators. In addition, we analyzed customer reviews, the ratio of devices for price and quality. We hope our rating will help you choose the most suitable equipment for home or office use.
The device is perfect for a home or office with a low workflow. IN comes with everything you need, including refilled cartridges. The MFP supports paper weights from 64 to 105 gsm. m. When using photo paper, this figure rises to 200-230 g / sq. m. m. The maximum format is A4, using the appropriate software You can also set a smaller paper size.
The highest image resolution is 4800*1200 dots - it is achieved in printer mode. In copier mode, the MFP produces an image with a resolution of up to 1200 * 600 pixels, but this is quite enough to get a high-quality copy. Outputs up to 8 A4 sheets per minute in single-sided printing format, capable of printing a 10 * 15 photo in a minute. The printing system supports the standard four colors - black, cyan, magenta and yellow.
