The DocuPrint M255 z is a four-in-one multifunction machine that prints (monochrome laser), copies, scans (with OCR), and faxes.
Targeted towards small businesses or the home office, it is priced at S$399 (incl. GST).
Fuji Xerox DocuPrint M255 z S-LED Multifunction Desktop Printer (RRP:S$399).
I used the DocuPrint M255 z for two weeks and found it to be easy to set up, churned out good print quality, and felt faster than its specs suggested.
Physical dimensions
W x D x H:
420 x 398 x 365mm
Although it’s labelled a desktop printer, it does take up the better half of a regular work desk – but that’s no surprise since it’s a multifunction machine that not only prints, but copies, scans and faxes as well.
It’s no bulkier than other office multifunction laser printers that I’ve used from other makes.
The control panel looks busy with plenty of buttons. Once you get the hang of it, the user-interface is actually quite easy to use.
The DocuPrint M255 z is able to print double-sided, saving much time and paper cost. Most importantly to me, that makes it all the more environmentally friendly.
Main specs
- Print speed: 30 ppm
- Print res: 1200 x 1200 dpi
- Copy res: 600 x 600 dpi
- Fax res: 400 x 400 dpi
- Wireless connectivity
- Duplex printing
- Powerful 295 MHz processor
The printer has a fixed drum feature that means that there is only one consumable to replace, further keeping the cost of ownership down.
Print resolution is 1,200 x 1,200 dpi and I had no complaints with the print quality – be it text documents or black-and-white printouts of graphics, illustrations, and photos in black-and-white.
A toner save mode provides the option of using uses less toner per page. Although the printout was slightly fainter, I found that the printout was still crisp, sharp and readable.
One might not even notice the difference if not told that toner save mode is used.
My say:
Designed for small and home offices (SOHOs), the affordable S$399 DocuPrint M255 z churns out good print quality while keeping the cost of ownership affordable for the budget conscious who don’t want to compromise on print quality.
Print speed is up to 30 pages per minute but it certainly feels much faster – at least compared with what I’m used to. It’s like the machines sucks in paper from the feeder and spits it out almost instantaneously, albeit rather vehemently.

If you’re looking for a capable workhorse for your home office, this duplex A4 inkjet printer gives you the full range of print, copy, scan and fax capabilities you’ll need.
Print quality is good, operation is simple and fast – but make sure you have enough space for it.
RRP: S$499 (incl. GST).
HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus e-All-in-One inkjet prints up to 20 ppm in black, and 16 ppm in colour.
The print quality of the Officejet Pro 8600 Plus is excellent. Text documents look as if they were printed by a laser printer, while photos (printed on glossy photo paper) were crisp and vibrant.
I was told the prints on normal A4 paper were “water-proof” so I immersed a few printed sheets in water overnight.
Indeed the ink didn’t run at all.
Of course the paper got all wrinkled after it dried but that’s got nothing to do with the ink or printer.
You’ll be hard put to tell they were not printed on a dedicated photo printer.
I tested the photo-print quality by printing full A4 sized outputs on glossy photo paper.
I was rather impressed as I didn’t expect a multi-function printer meant for office-use to produce photo prints almost as well as a dedicated photo printer.

Tuesday, October 30th, 2012
Japanese printer and sewing machine manufacturer has launched the compact A3 inkjet multi-function printer in Singapore.
Available from 1 November 2012, the Multi-Function Centre MFC-J2510 (S$398 incl. GST) is sleek, small and fast; and is targeted towards SMBs and SOHOs.
Brother inkjet Multi-Function Centre MFC-J2510 (S$398 incl. 7% GST).
The Brother MFC-J2510 is tailored for personal use, small or home offices (SOHOs) and small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs).
Six cloud-based services that the Brother MFC-J2510 can print from and scan to:
- Facebook

It sports bold, curved edges and has a black and white design with a gloss finish.
The multi-function printer is able to copy, fax, scan and print; and has a 3.7-inch touchscreen interface.
The MFC-J2510 supports wired and wireless networking, prints on both sides, and features Internet connectivity to support printing from and scanning to six cloud-based services.

It is Brother’s fastest inkjet model with a print speed of up to 20 monochrome and 18 colour pages per minute (ppm).
