multifunction printer

Scan, copy, print

A multifunction printer combines printing with other office functions—typically scanning, copying, and faxing—in a single device.

Often abbreviated MFP or called an all-in-one printer.

The multifunction design saves space and cost compared to separate machines: The office replaced four devices with one multifunction printer.
