I'm back from a few weeks off, and while I was away I thought about some cool features that I'd like to see in MFP's.
Scan2Print: Which would allow me to scan, save and then print to any printer on the network.
Fax Server: The ability to add multi-port modem cards (more than 3 modems) into the MFP and let me designate where to forward the faxes, either to a folder on the pc or via multiple email addresses.
Auto Binding & Hole Punching: While some of these features are available on high end units, I think its about time that these features move to segment 3 devices. Holepunching would have to be similar to the GBC Pronto and have the same type of feature set.
Copy Save: Every copy that was ever made was saved and routed to a server for archive, once there it can be archived in a Document Management Software.

Some of the stuff I would like to see are
1. Instant Power ON and Instant Power OFF
2. Wireless out of the box
3. Ability to connect USB cables directly as a plug and play device ( some may already have this)and also scan / print from USB devices.
4. Quiet Operation
5. They should come with an inbuilt miniature vacuum cleaner so that techs will definitely clean the unit on all calls!!
6. Ability to automatically scn books without user intervention (Btw, there is a $150k system that does this)
7. Sends a secret message to the vendor when the unit is physically moved more than "x" feet!!
It was fun thinking about this. I could possibly think of a few more weird stuff!!
