Issue #0618/2 - There are few laser-based devices with only three functions and ADF facility.

Here we focus on the DCP-7025 from Brother, LaserJet 3052 All-in-One from Hewlett-Packard and FS-1016MFP from Kyocera Mita.

These three devices are very similar in many ways, with specifications that, at first glance, appear to leave little to differentiate between them.

Issue #0618/3 - In this category, we find more machines and an even wider price range based on specifications and feature sets that are also wider ranging. The devices concerned essentially range from very low-end and low-priced (Brother MFC-7420), that would be very much at home in a home-office but would perhaps not sit as comfortably in a busy office environment, to sophisticated office workgroup multifunction devices with a high price tag (Kyocera Mita FS-1118MFP DF).
