What will it print?

Printers vary in what varieties of type they can print. You must know the limits of your printer to avoid unhappy surprises! Modern printers can handle most anything, but older printers may not. Yes, there are still old, clunky computers and printers in use out there in the real world.

Typeface	Set of letters, numbers, and special characters with similar design
Styles	Bold, italic, underlined...
Size	Is measured in points One point = 1/72 of an inch like: 12 pt 18 pt 24 pt 36 pt Use 10 or 12 pt for writing a letter or report.
Font	A complete set of letters, etc. in the same typeface, style, and size
Color	Printing in color takes longer, uses more expensive inks/toner, looks best on more expensive papers, but can add a lot to the quality of the output
Graphics	Pictures add a lot to a document, but not all printers can print graphics.

The footprint, or the physical size of a printer, determines where it can be placed. You must consider several things:

• Where will you put it?
  On top of a table or cabinet or on a shelf or in a drawer?? Is there enough space for the printer while you are using it - blank paper ready to go and the printed pages not picked up yet?
• Blank paper
  If the blank paper is in a drawer or tray under the printing mechanism, can you pull the drawer all the way out?
  If the paper is in an upright stack on top of the printer, is there room for your hand and the paper as you put it blank pages?
• Where does the printed page wind up?
  On top of the printer or out in front of it? Is there a pull-out arm to catch printed pages? Can you leave it extended without blocking other drawers or walking paths?

There must be a good match between the space you need to work with the printer and the spot you choose to put it! Otherwise, your print-outs may wind up puddled on the floor or you could bash your knuckles whenever you put in a stack of blank paper.
