Once upon a time, the office copier did one thing—make copies. It was loud, slow, and often jammed at the worst possible time. Fast forward to today, and we’ve entered an entirely new era. The multifunction printer (MFP) has evolved into a powerful hub for productivity, offering far more than just copying. At Town Business Systems, we’ve seen firsthand how these devices have transformed the modern workplace.
From Simple Copier to Office Command Center
Multifunction printers today are packed with capabilities that would have seemed like science fiction a few decades ago. Now, in one sleek device, you can:
- Print high-resolution documents quickly and efficiently
- Scan to email, cloud storage, or network folders
- Copy with precise settings for size, color, and output
- Fax (yes, some industries still rely on fax!)
- Secure documents with PIN codes and user authentication
- Track usage and costs to improve efficiency
It’s like having a digital assistant for your document needs.
Smart Tech Meets Office Equipment
Modern MFPs aren’t just multifunctional—they’re smart. They integrate seamlessly with cloud platforms like Google Drive, Dropbox, and Microsoft OneDrive. Many even feature touchscreens with app-like interfaces that make navigating functions as easy as using your smartphone.
Some systems even offer AI-driven workflows, automatically routing documents to specific folders, flagging errors, or converting scanned files into searchable PDFs.
Security Is Front and Center
With increased connectivity comes a higher risk of data breaches. That’s why newer models come with built-in security features such as:
- End-to-end encryption
- User authentication and permissions
- Secure print release
- Hard drive data overwrite
At Town Business Systems, we ensure every device we offer meets today’s high-security standards, keeping your data safe.
Efficiency + Sustainability
Modern MFPs are also eco-conscious. They use less power, produce less waste, and come with energy-saving modes. Many models feature duplex (two-sided) printing by default, which saves paper without sacrificing quality.
These advances are great for your bottom line—and the planet.
