What the fuck? NO! The many printer models and their letters at the end of the name are not always easy to understand. For example, HP M402dw or HP M402n. That's why we have briefly explained the most important abbreviations in this article.

"W"

The abbreviation "W" stands for WLAN-capable. These printers can be integrated into a network via WLAN. The main advantage of WLAN printers is that no network cable needs to be laid.

"T"

The abbreviation "T" stands for the paper tray. In addition to the standard paper tray, these printers offer an additional paper tray and a paper capacity of 1000 or more sheets.

"F"

The abbreviation "F" mainly stands for fax. You can use these devices to send and receive faxes. In some cases, however, the suffix "F" also stands for finisher - which means that the documents you print or copy are automatically sorted into different output trays.

An example: You want to print several copies that are eight pages long. So you can place the first pages in the first output tray and the second page in the second output tray and so on.

"N"

The abbreviation "N" stands for network-compatible. In addition to the USB port, these devices have a network connection in the form of an RJ45 LAN socket. The printers are connected to a router via a network cable and are therefore available to all PCs in the network. A network connection is necessary if, for example, several PCs need to access one printer.

"D"

A duplex-capable printer is labelled with the abbreviation "D" and allows you to automatically print on the front and back of the print paper.

There are also multifunction printers that offer "duplex in all functions". These devices can automatically process printed copy and fax documents on both sides in one process without you having to intervene.

"C"

The abbreviation "C" stands for "cabinet". These usually weigh up to 100 kilograms and are offered for very powerful and expensive printers. "V"

"V"

The abbreviation "V" stands for fully equipped. These printers have all the features listed above and are usually correspondingly expensive. Such devices are almost always found in companies and often cost several thousand francs.

When it comes to office supplies, I believe in form and function. From pens, scissors, paper notes to glittery glue and funky folders. That’s what I’m about at work. When I’m not busy checking out the latest desk accessories, I enjoy jetting off to remote corners of the world, lifting weights or taking an evening walk.
