Wireless connection options
There are several ways that wireless inkjet printers enable cord-free printing. One commonly available feature is Wi-Fi printing. This requires a user with Wi-Fi network access to set up the printer and connect it to the Wi-Fi. After this step is complete, any computer on the same Wi-Fi network as the printer can send files directly to the printer. Another widely available option is a direct wireless connection. Printers with this feature establish a separate wireless connection with each device. This option is ideal for offices with users across multiple Wi-Fi networks as it allows everyone to use the same printer without changing Wi-Fi connections.

Comparing all-in-one and single-function models
Many large printer brands produce both single-function units and all-in-one models. All-in-one models generally have print, copy, and scan functions and some also offer faxing capabilities. Small offices often benefit from this arrangement as it allows one device to replace three or four separate devices. This makes the most of limited space while streamlining cartridge refills and maintenance needs. Single-function wireless inkjet printers are ideal for offices that rarely or never use copying and scanning functions since these options are often smaller or have additional printing features that are not available on all-in-one devices.

Environmentally friendly options
Offices interested in minimizing their carbon footprint often choose ENERGY STAR-certified devices. Printers in this category meet federal requirements for energy efficiency. Some models go above and beyond by exceeding ENERGY STAR standards.

Photo-ready wireless inkjet printers
Offices that focus on graphic design or frequently use high-resolution images and photos in their printed materials benefit from photo-ready wireless printers. These devices accurately reproduce the full spectrum of colors, leave little to no graininess on printed photos, and offer a high print resolution.

Do wireless printers work with mobile devices?
Many wireless inkjet printers work seamlessly with mobile devices, including smartphones and tablets. Many printer models work with a variety of mobile printing apps and programs such as HP ePrint, Apple AirPrint, and Google Cloud Print.

Is duplex printing available on wireless printers?
A variety of wireless devices offer automatic duplex printing. This feature works in one of two ways. It can print on one side, pull the paper back through, and print on the second side. The other automatic duplexing setup prints the front side of every page of the document before pulling the sheets back through and printing the second side on every page. This creates a hands-free printing experience and minimizes the possibility of printing mistakes caused by human error.

What are the benefits of wireless supertank printers?
Some wireless inkjet printers utilize high-capacity ink tanks instead of smaller ink cartridges. Users refill the tanks with ink bottles. This feature significantly decreases the price per page when compared to printers that use conventional cartridges. Users benefit from less frequent ink refills and fewer printing interruptions. Additionally, this feature is more environmentally friendly than standard cartridges.
