Multifunctional Machines

Are you looking for a desktop machine that can meet all your printing, photocopying, scanning and faxing needs in one? Then, a multifunctional desktop machine could provide the perfect solution.

Most multifunctional machines are designed to sit on a desktop and are capable of performing several different functions, all of which any small-to-medium sized business, or home user, would make use of very regularly.

There are a range of well-priced machines on the market presently that are well-designed and compact, making for a great space-saving opportunity. Whether you are a home or business user, you will definitely be able to find something to suit your requirements and budget by researching and purchasing this necessary piece of equipment through a quality supplier.

Brands of multifunctional machines available include Canon, Samsung, Sharp, Brother and Panasonic. Most multifunctional machines available use laser technology. Laser machines are the ideal option for a business or office where the machine will be in heavy use and only mono-print is generally required. Laser makes for the best choice, as it offers fast print speeds, high quality and a low cost per page.

The lowest priced units available are fast and simple to use and have printing, scanning and photocopying functionality. They can have print speeds of around 20 pages per minute, with a first print speed of around the 11 second mark. Most of these machines in this price range weigh about 10 to 12 kilograms and usually have the option to connect to a network.

Moving a couple hundred pounds up the price range, certain multifunctionals have innovative designs and will particularly suit very busy, small companies whose business activity is on the rise. Most will sit beautifully on your desktop and offer printing, copying and faxing, with the bonus of a colour scanner. They can easily produce double-sided documents and files can be converted into a variety of formats and routed to a variety of locations, including email addresses, ftp sites, desktop folders and databases. Most have network capability which is easy to use and install.

The highest level of multifunction machines available have added features like a three-way paper feeding facility and can print up to 16 A4 colour pages and 9 A3 colour pages per minute. They also can have an SOPM (Scan Once Print Many) function to aid productivity and a capacity of 600-sheets in a full paper tray.

By investing in one of these machines you get an all-in-one option that not only saves you money but also space thanks to their small compact designs.

Is Your Computer Strong Enough For An Internet Work From Home Business

If you are planning on doing business online with one of the many work from home based businesses available on the internet, then you are going to want to make sure your computer is up to the task.

Although it is possible to get by with a Pentium 1, at todays prices there is no reason to do so. Pentium 4 computers and AMD equivalent computers have dropped in price enormously.

I have to admit, I am still using an Intel Celeron 766 Mh computer but I upgraded the ram to 384 Mb and the hard drive to 80 Gb. Also a high speed internet connection is a must. I am connected to the internet from 8:00 Am to 2:00 Am (18 Hours) continuously every day. This means my security including firewall must be set up properly and working. But thats another article for another time.

Why do you need a powerful computer for your work from home internet business? Well before I upgraded from my Pentium MMX 233 Mh computer I was spending more time re booting from freeze ups and cleaning my hard drive than I was actually working at my internet work from home based business. Yes I started out over 5 years ago using a Pentium MMX 233 with only 160 Mb of RAM and a 3 Gb hard drive, proving that it is possible to build a work from home internet business on an old slow computer. But why would you. I upgraded to a used Celeron 766 Mh computer with 256 Mb of RAM for $200 Canadian. And here in Canada you can buy a Pentium 4 or AMD equivalent for just $400-$500.

I recommend the following main features when looking for your work from home internet business computer.

1.Pentium 4 or AMD Equivalent.

2.256 Mb of RAM minimum. 512 Mb is better.

3.80 Gb hard drive or better

4.Ethernet for high speed internet connection.

Your video card is less important unless you plan to play games on your work from home business computer. Cheaper computers come with onboard video which is just fine for business purposes.

Try to get at least a 17 inch monitor. Get an LCD monitor if you can afford it. It will save you all kinds of desk space giving you more room to work.

These are my recommendations for your work from home internet business computer based on my past experiences with my own work from home internet business. They are just guidelines only. In fact you could spend thousands of dollars more than what I have suggested here. Wouldnt we all love to have an AMD 64 computer with 2 Gb RAM, dual 200 Gb raided hard drives and a 21 inch LCD monitor!
