Home Office Tips & Technology:
Don’t Miss the Four In One Wonder

One of the best equipment investments you can
make in your home office.

If you’re going to work from home or have your own home-based business from home, one of the best investments you can make is a little wonder machine they call the “Four in One”.

Shown here:  Lexmark Full Color Flatbed X5470 All in One (about $100 in local office supply stores).

A great value in productivity, a great financial value and a great value in square inches of office space –you can’t get more productivity out of a such a small space in your home office. For less than two cubic square feet of counter space, this little baby (various models have various sized foot prints), can be your printer, your fax machine, your scanner and your copy machine, all from one easy to use and affordable home office machine, and there's only one ink/toner cartridge to worry about.

• Make Copies
  
• Send and receive faxes
  
• Scan documents
  
• Print from your PC
  

These machines have been out for several years but their super compatibility with home-based employment situations keeps earning them rock star status with those of us that work from home.

Some models even offer remote fax service, which means that if your “work from home job” is on the road or requires you to work remotely at shows or other locations, you can take your machine with you and retrieve faxes from wherever you are.

Available in laser or inkjet color copy, machines vary in cost, size, speed, cost to use and features. This is not something I personally would buy online because I’d want to see how easy it is to use, but die hard online shoppers can buy this product online.

And if you do purchase one of these machines, it won’t take you long to figure out that one of the perks of working from home is having your own photocopier right there whenever you need it! No more standing in line or making separate stops at the copy shop. Being able to make your own copies at home is GREAT.

If you’ve got a home office, don’t miss the four in one wonder. It’ll become your best friend.
