Multifunctional devices (MFDs) are machines that combine several functions into one unit, typically including printing, scanning, copying, and faxing. These devices are commonly used in offices and homes to streamline tasks and save space, as they eliminate the need for multiple separate machines. MFDs can connect to computers and networks, allowing users to manage documents more efficiently. They often feature touchscreens and user-friendly interfaces, making them accessible for various users. Popular brands of MFDs include HP, Canon, and Brother, which offer a range of models to suit different needs and budgets.
