Overview
Not a print-only box, the Brother color printer adds a flatbed scan glass for single-page copies and scans alongside automatic two-sided color printing. It connects over Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi Direct or USB.
Adding a flatbed covers occasional copy and scan needs without stepping up to a full all-in-one. There is no feeder for stacks and no fax, so multi-page scanning is slow.
Who it's for
Home users who mostly print but sometimes copy IDs or receipts get a flatbed and duplex. Offices handling stacks of paper need a model with a document feeder.
Pros and cons
- Flatbed copying and scanning
- Wi-Fi Direct for phones
- Reduce and enlarge copies
- Manual slot for envelopes
- No document feeder
- Fax not included
- Wired Ethernet not listed
Performance notes
Copies come from the flatbed glass, one page at a time, which suits IDs and receipts but slows multi-page jobs. Color printing runs at the same speed as black because the four toners apply in one pass.
