Overview
Scanning to cloud accounts such as Evernote, Google Drive and Dropbox straight from the touchscreen is the signature feature of this Brother multifunction laser. It prints, copies, scans and faxes, with automatic duplex and a USB host for flash drives.
A large document feeder and a custom shortcut screen make repetitive office tasks quicker. The limit is that output is black only, and the cloud and mobile tools need an internet connection and an account.
Who it's for
Teams with piles of multi-page paperwork get the most from the feeder and cloud scanning. Single users with simple printing needs, and anyone who wants color, are better served elsewhere.
Pros and cons
- Large automatic document feeder
- Scan to cloud services from the touchscreen
- Automatic two-sided printing
- Prints from a USB flash drive
- Black and white output only
- Heavy for a small desk
- Cloud tools need an account
Performance notes
Simultaneous operation lets one person scan while another prints, so the machine does not stall a workgroup. The feeder processes multi-page originals without anyone at the glass. Optional trays raise paper capacity for longer runs.
