General info
Audible noise is the noise that a device produces while in operation. Reduced audible noise improves quality.
If you have lots of long documents, a higher capacity might be of interest.
A larger output tray is useful for printing large documents such as reports, without emptying the tray.
An automatic document feeder (ADF) allows for multiple pages to be copied or scanned at one time. You should consider an ADF if you intend to scan documents regularly.
With more input trays you can store more paper as well as having the option to use them for different colors or types of paper.
Volume is the quantity of three-dimensional space enclosed by the product's chassis or, in simpler terms, the space the product occupies.
How much power the device consumes when it's switched on.
The power consumption in standby mode, also called energy-saving mode, measures the amount of power the device consumes when shut down but still plugged in.
The height represents the vertical dimension of the product.
Print quality
Color printers are especially useful for printing photographs or other images.
Duplex printing means printing on both sides of the page. It is recommended as a way to save paper.
With a higher resolution for printing, the print-outs will be better quality.
The device can print basic black and white documents at a faster rate, based on ISO (International Standards Association) figure.

The highest resolution the scanner can put out without using software to make it bigger. In dots per inch.
Bit depth means the number of bits per pixel, so the higher the bit depth, the greater number of colors the system can scan.
Bit depth means the number of bits per pixel, so the higher the bit depth, the greater number of grayscales the system can scan.
Duplex scanning means scanning both sides of a page at once.
Maximum scan size shows maximum dimensions of the scanned document.
The device can deliver one-sided scans in grayscale faster. Speed is an issue for high-volume scanning, mostly with document scanners and it's measured in pages per minute.
The device can deliver one-sided color scans faster.
Connectivity
