Need to print, scan and copy but don’t have the space for separate machines? HP printer scanner copiers (PSC), also known as all-in-one printers or AIOs, deliver the function of three units with the footprint of one, letting you devote office space for other essentials.
Reasons for choosing an HP printer-scanner-copier include the following:
1. Combining multiple office functions with an HP all-in-one printer saves space, and some HP PSCs include fax capability;
2. Printing and copying goes fast, with some HP printer/scanner models able to deliver 30 black-and-white pages or 20 color pages in a minute’s time;
3. Scanning quality of up to 1,200 x 4,800 dots per inch;
4. HP’s Total Care 24-hour online and phone support for its printer-scanner-copier models provides quick answers to your questions about setup and parts for your HP PSC printer.
Certain HP PSCs feature instant sharing of photographs and the ability to print photos without turning on your PC. Some models include photo-editing software to digitally repair damaged photographs.) Other HP all-in-one printers include built-in wired and wireless networking to extend the unit’s convenience beyond the desk on which it sits.
