Overview
Brother aims this mono laser at small offices that share a printer over a network cable, with automatic duplex and security locks for sensitive documents. Phones print through AirPrint and Mopria once it joins the network.
Wired networking, duplex and expandable trays cover most small-office printing for years. There is no built-in wireless in the specs, so placement depends on a network jack.
Who it's for
Small offices and departments printing documents over Ethernet get speed, duplex and security. Wireless-only homes should choose a Wi-Fi model.
Pros and cons
- Fast mono output
- Expandable paper capacity
- Mobile printing on the network
- Compact for its class
- No wireless listed
- Black output only
- Toner model not clearly listed
Performance notes
Throughput comes from the laser engine and automatic duplex, which flips sheets internally for two-sided pages. Paper refills drop with the optional trays, which add capacity below the main cassette.
