Which name do your prefer, Copier or MFP? I've been starting to use the term MFP more frequently in the past few months and users seem to know what I'm talking about, It might cause the crappy old disrespected copier to bump up a few spots on the technology food chain.

Re: Copier or MFP?
We were instructed years ago to start referring to all newer digital models as Multi Functional Devices.
I still call a analogue machine a Copier though (as it is a accurate statement).- Knowledge not shared, is eventually knowledge that becomes lost... like tears in the rain.

Re: Copier or MFP?
While I prefer MFP or MFD, when I talk to the customer it goes faster if I ask them about their copier or printer.Comment

Re: Copier or MFP?
I name them according to what I'm talking about. When I'm talking about printing it's a printer, if you need coppying it's a copier, when you're scanning it's a scanner. Who cares that its all the same machine? MFP/MFP just complicates it for most people.Comment

Re: Copier or MFP?
i would rarher communicate with the customer in the same language. Ricoh likes to call the copiers MFD, everybody else MFP but customers will always call them "copier"Comment

Re: Copier or MFP?
It depends on the machine and options it supports. If it does not support fax for instance, technically it is not a mfp. But most machines today are mfp, so i would say MFP. I think technical people who are involved with sales,service and support uses mfp and the general public still knows them as copiers.THE ONLY THING FOR EVIL TO TRIUMPH IS FOR GOOD MEN TO DO NOTHING..........edmund burkeComment
