Usage notes

Collocations

Common collocations include 用打印机 (use a printer) and 连接打印机 (connect a printer). 打 by itself means 'to hit/strike,' not 'to print,' so don't shorten 打印机 to just 打.

Common mistakes

Learners often mistakenly say 打印器 instead of 打印机. Remember that 机 is the standard suffix for machines, not 器 in this case.
