For example, MFD printers are not always able to handle envelopes and labels like a standalone printer. They also typically lack the variety of paper trays and fonts you might expect from a similar printer model. In terms of copying, most low-end MFDs lack basic copier features such as sorters and zoom. In addition, the image quality does not tend to be as good as that from standalone copiers, since most fax-based scanners only capture about 200 dots of information per inch. As scanners, MFDs typically do not offer the resolution you would expect from a standalone model.
Scans tend to be adequate for simple images and text, but poor for photos and other detailed images.
MFDs function quite well as fax machines. However, you should check the transmission speed and memory levels. This is enough to hold about 25 pages. Assess the copy quality One quick way to assess copy quality is by looking at the MFD's copy resolution. Also make sure to try copying a few documents, paying particular attention to large dark objects and fine lines.
