Printers have been part of our daily live for a long time. Laser printer have also been around for many years, however in the past they have been purely business machines. Now however the prices have come down so far that they are accessible for both home and business applications.
One of the latest printer technology is A3 printer and scanner. An A3 printer and scanner is a multifunctional machine that allows you to scan and print. However, like other multifunctional gadgets, they have extra features that come along with them. It can be facsimile capability or wireless connectivity.
The most basic function of an A3 printer scanner is that they can print documents to a maximum of A3 sizes. A3 size has dimensions of 17″ x 11″. Most printers are only capable to print Legal sizes, which measures 14″ x 11″. A3 printers can print on A3 sizes as well as smaller sizes, so you do not need to worry that you are only able to print on A3 sizes. Most A3 printers are capable of printing smaller sizes such as Legal and Letter sizes. Some of them even have the option to print on other media such as envelopes.
The second basic function of an A3 printer scanner is able to scan documents at 17″ x 11″ sizes. Scanners mostly work by installing computer software that comes along with it. After that, the document is faced down on the flatbed scanner and is covered with a lid. When the scanning starts, it flashes a light along the document. Then the computer will ask to save the data.
Both printing and scanning functions go hand in hand in such a way that it finally generates another function, which is copying function. Some printer scanners have the option to print it straight so it can work just like a photocopier. The best thing about it is that they can also photocopy colored documents.
These functions are only the basics. There are several printer scanners that have other special features. Some of them can be used even without using a computer.
