Some points to consider:

• Printer only or Multifunction (Print/Copy/Scan). Do you also need to fax?
• Number of prints per month – usually equated in reams of paper (500 pages/ream). How often do you need to purchase a ream of paper for your printer? Is print speed important?
• Black only or is colour required? Such as what documents do you mainly print. (Documents, Presentation Reports, Photos, etc)
• Size of the print is A4 size ok or do you need larger size such as A3 (twice A4 size)?
• Paper Feeder: Do you require an automatic document feeder to scan or copy multiple pages at one time?
• Sharing: Is a wired connection acceptable or would you like to print remotely via a wireless connection? Do you need to print via multiple workstations through a server?
  • Photos
  • Documents
  • Presentations
  • Emails
  • Assignments
  • Reports
• Duplex: Is duplex double-sided printing required and do you require double sided scanning?
• More options that might be desired are prints from or scan to USB stick, CD label printing, Printing from Camera memory card.
• Paper tray capacity and the number of paper trays (this could be beneficial where you need to print on different paper types).
• Document size to print. Will you require a larger memory buffer for bigger documents and files?
• Desktop mounted or do you want a stand-alone machine with trolley?
• Budget: Have a clear view of your budget and be prepared to fore go certain features to fit to your budget restraints.
• Ongoing running cost: When considering budget also consider the ongoing running cost of your machine. A lower machine cost usually means a higher cost per print. You should consider generic and refillable cartridges possibilities as an option for reducing your printing costs.
