You may appreciate the money you save by plugging one device into your wall instead of three or four. You might also spend less money buying a multifunction printer than you will purchasing multiple machines. Computer Shopper, for instance, reports finding monochrome laser printers for less than $150 and simple inkjet multifunction printers that cost less than $100. Multifunction printers are also useful if you have limited office space, since you can place a single unit on a desk or in the corner. If you ever need to take your equipment with you or move it to a new location, you can do that quickly.
