Multifunction Copier Printers

Multifunction printers (MFPs) are all-in-one devices that combine printing, copying, scanning, and faxing capabilities into a single integrated system. They streamline document workflows, reduce equipment footprint, and often include network connectivity, cloud integration, and advanced security features like data encryption for business environments.

The best MFP depends on your volume, color needs, and security requirements. High-speed Color MFPs (25-70 ppm) suit busy corporate offices, while Black & White MFPs fit cost-conscious general office use. Southern Office Machines evaluates your workflow to recommend the smallest, sturdiest machine with the lowest total cost of ownership.

A good small home MFP should offer compact dimensions, reliable print/copy/scan/fax functions, and simple network setup. Our entry-level Black & White and Color MFP models provide dependable performance for light-duty use, with optional rental or lease terms if you prefer to avoid upfront purchase costs.

A traditional copier only duplicates documents, while a multifunction printer (MFP) combines printing, copying, scanning, and faxing in one device. Modern MFPs also add network connectivity, cloud access, and advanced security features like 256-bit AES encryption, making them a more versatile and cost-effective choice for most offices.

Leasing offers lower upfront costs, predictable monthly payments, and easy upgrades as technology changes, making it attractive for growing businesses. Buying suits organizations wanting long-term ownership without ongoing payments. Southern Office Machines offers purchase, lease, and rental options so you can choose based on your cash flow and usage needs.

Secure your MFP with the Sharp Security Suite, which includes 256-bit AES encryption, up to 7-times data overwriting, and optional Common Criteria Certified Data Security Kits. Combine this with network access controls, audit trail logging, and an End-Of-Lease data erasure process to protect sensitive information throughout the device's lifecycle.
