As a MFU it not only prints, scans, copies but also for those who still require it can send and receive faxes. The latter is the difference between an MFU and a All In One.
A grey and shiny black box that prints, scans and copies, it’s an All In One that Epson calls an entry level model.
Having taken the photographs, why wait to see the printed results when portable printers are available.

This is a multi function unit (it has fax) and is a versatile unit. Not tiny but not massive either and it comes with sheet feeder as well as flatbed.

After looking at a range of 15x10cm printers it’s nice to be back to an A4 offering that is quick, produces excellent output and can also print direct onto CD’s, alas it refuses to make the tea.
This 15x10cm printer can also be used to charge your camera and to transfer images to the PC. However with the optional battery it can print when away from mains power.
This is a 15x10cm photo printer, however it is very unlikely to be confused with any other manufacturers product on looks as it is certainly very distinctive in appearance.

A small 15x10cm photo printer with a limited range of features, however should you just want to print images direct from a camera card it gives acceptable results.

I have reviewed several Canon small photo printers over the years, hear this one is perhaps the smallest ever, however this does not mean everything is perfect.
For a colour laser and a AIO (All In One) this is small in fact it fits under my desk in the same place that inkjets get reviewed. Often lasers – even mono – cannot fit in.

This is a six ink printer, it is by no means small – in fact many All In Ones are smaller – but despite the width and depth the lack of height can make it suitable for a strong shelf.
It’s a long time since I last reviewed a mono laser printer and for anyone who prints textual pages and does not need colour then this is a quick and efficient way of printing.

Dell All In Ones tend to look amazingly bland a cream box, but then this could well get access to the lounge that grey units may be banned from.

A photo printer but certainly not run of the mill as it not only supports 15x10cm but also 18x13cm and panorama 30x10cm images. It has a certain upmarket look.

Space can often be at a premium so why not opt for a multifunction device that can tackle a range of activities without overcrowding the workspace.

This is an All In One from Canon that, on first glance, appears to have no controls on it at all, just a grey, silver and black rectangular box with a lid on the top of the flatbed scanner.

With space at a premium an All-In-One is often the answer here I am looking at a unit not much larger than a lot of printers, but it also scans and copies. The latter without needing the PC connected.

This is a compact All In One unit, however while it is small and the controls are easy to use, all is not as it should be.

Another printer looking like a rectangular box, however providing the other half does not mind the grey colour then surely it’s all about the print quality and print speed.

This All In One is functional in design however when the job is to print, scan and copy appearance is less important than delivering the goods and this it does with the added plus of six ink quality.

This is an All In One but not an inkjet, it is a laser unit, it can print in mono, it can copy in mono and scan in colour, however unlike a lot of laser All In Ones it is not huge in size or weight.

Often you buy a printer for text with the fact that it can print photos is an extra. With the Canon Pixma IP6220D it’s the other way round, this is a excellent photo printer.
