155.0. "Multifunction machines?" by CSC32::S_WASKEWICZ () Thu May 08 1997 15:04

Hi folks,
   I'm looking to persuade the boss into springing for one of those
"multi-function" machines that can scan,print,FAX,copy etc., and was wondering
if I could get recommendations on what works well for all of you telecommuters
out there? 
   How about letting me know what brand names/models you are happy with,
and those you aren't so happy with, and why?

Thanks for any and all,

Steve

	I have all of the functions with my printer, scanner, and modem. This allows me to tailor or replace each one as I need or want to. With a decent printer, every respectable scanner is also a copier. Lew
155.2		CSC32::M_JILSON	Door handle to door handle	`Wed May 14 1997 15:54`	7
	I bought an OfficeJet 300 (printer, copier, fax) about 2 years ago as a refurb from Damark for less than $350. It has worked very well for my home office. You can't do a large amount of copying but I haven't needed to and we have accounts at Kinko's for this. I haven't had a need for a scanner yet (for work purposes) but will be buying one for personal use soon. Jilly

	The sales slime at Office Depot talked me out of a multipurpose machine because of the expensive, single use printer ribbon/cartridge things. I already have a B&W and Color Inkjet printer and fax modem so I just bought a decent scanner. John

	Mine has a 51626A cartridge for which I have many choices of refilling or replacing with non-HP lower cost cartridges. Jilly

	That would be the kind to get. Stay away from the ones that use the standard fax machine type roll ribbon. John
