Overview

Copying a stack of pages is quick on this Brother multifunction, since a document feeder pulls them through while the laser prints both sides automatically. It shares over Wi-Fi or Ethernet and takes card stock through a manual slot.

The document feeder lifts it above flatbed-only printers for anyone who copies or scans multi-page files. It prints in black only, and the starter toner is short-lived.

Who it's for

Small offices and busy home offices that copy contracts, scan paperwork and print in black and white. Users who fax or print color need another machine.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Document feeder for multi-page jobs
  • Fast duplex printing
  • Wired network for sharing
  • Manual slot for envelopes
Cons
  • Black and white only
  • No fax function
  • Low starter toner yield

Performance notes

Multi-page copying relies on the document feeder moving sheets past the scanner, and print speed comes from the laser engine with automatic duplexing. The operating environment is limited to normal room temperatures listed by the maker.
