What Is A Multi-Function Center?

Multifunction Centers (MFCs) combine printing, scanning, copying, faxing, and often other functions, into one integrated unit. MFCs are much less expensive than the cost of purchasing separate devices to perform these common tasks, and take up much less workspace as well. Many users also find an MFC easier to manage and maintain than multiple machines – there’s only one set of supplies to deal with, one connection to the computer, and only one power cord.

Brother has a range of MFCs. Some offer various combinations of functions and features to address the needs of different users, and are based on either laser or color inkjet printing technology. Common functions are printing, copying, scanning, and faxing, but some offer additional features such as digital message centers, digital media card slots, network connectivity, and others. 

Why You May Want An MFC

For many people, having an MFC simply makes their lives easier.
In one unit, you’ll have the capacity to perform your most common tasks, easily and efficiently. And, you’ll probably get other capabilities you haven’t had before. Some of these you may only need occasionally, but they’ll be nice to have when those times happen.

For example, you may have had a printer and a separate fax machine in the past. With an MFC, both functions can be done with the same machine; plus, you now have the ability to make multiple high-quality copies of documents without a trip to a “copy center” somewhere else. And, if you have a printed color copy of something you need to email to someone else, your color MFC will let you easily scan to email, a task you may not have been able to do before. You’ll also have the ability to send email from within a computer application – and if you purchase a color inkjet MFC, you can even print color photos at your desk, too.

So, even if the majority of your work is printing and faxing – as it is in most home and small offices – you may still find an MFC is a perfect fit for you, especially for the added “convenience” features it offers. Your MFC will already include them, and they won’t take up any more space on your desk.
