Many are multifunction, but some are print-only. Check the exact model specification. Before ordering, confirm the exact functions, connectivity, compatible consumables, paper handling and warranty listed for that model.

Compare the price and published yield of the compatible ink, toner or bottles, but remember that yield is measured under test conditions. Your actual cost depends on page coverage, colour usage, print settings, cleaning cycles and how frequently the printer is used.

Confirm whether you need USB, Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi Direct, Ethernet or mobile printing. Features differ by exact model, and office users should also check network support, supported operating systems and whether multiple people need to share the printer.

Only multifunction models include scanning or copying, and fax, automatic duplex and an automatic document feeder are separate features. Check each function explicitly because similar-looking models may have different capabilities.

Review supported paper sizes, tray capacity, media type and the manufacturer-supported paper-weight range. Heavy card, labels, photo paper and specialty media may require a specific tray or setting and may not be supported by every model.
