One day, Matt has an assignment. He needs to paste a family picture in their workbook.
Though we have lots of family pics in my camera, we have no printer at home. The only one available is already placed in a photo frame and he was two months old.
Though we have lots of family pics in my camera, we have no printer at home. The only one available is already placed in a photo frame and he was two months old.
No choice but to get that photo and used it for his homework.
With this, we decided to buy one so when the time Matt needs printing works for his school projects and activities, we will not encounter the same problem.
Mommy is also thinking of accepting made-to-order (MTO) invitations where a nice printer is a must.
After searching for some models and brands, reading reviews and feed backs, I finally made a choice for the right unit. I choose the Brother DCP-J100 3-in-1 printer (scanner, printer and photocopier).

Brother DCP-J100

I picked this brand and model mainly because the ink cartridge is individually installed. Once you ran out of one color, you
can purchase the cartridge for that particular color alone unlike other brands that you
have to buy one cartridge with three colors even other colors are still
available.
The printer will run even only the black cartridge is installed.

Scanning is also easy. Just
press the scan button, pick for the scanning method. It will automatically connect to the computer and just press the start button, colored or graysacle, for the scanning to proceed . Scanning methods are: scan to e-mail, scan
to file or scan to image.

With the photocopier, you can
directly choose enlarger or reducer from 100% to 47% or fit to page. It can perform photocopying up to 99 pages per run. Some units are limited to 20 pages per run only.

The unit is connected to
the computer via USB port attached inside the printer right under the scanning/photocopying platform. Storing of the
connector when not in use is not a problem. There is an ample space beside the port where you can place the cord.
It has a detachable paper rack.
Just place the paper and you’re on the go.
