Overview
Not a basic desktop printer, this Brother MFC-L5700DW is a monochrome multifunction laser that prints, copies, scans and faxes. Active Directory, Secure Function Lock and SSL security guard shared use, and simultaneous operation lets several people work at once.
A touchscreen with custom shortcuts and direct cloud scanning trims routine office steps, while expandable trays leave room to grow. The limitation is black-only output and a spec table with a few mismatched entries.
Who it's for
Workgroups that scan to Evernote, Dropbox, Google Drive or OneNote will use the touchscreen shortcuts daily. Single users, light printing and color needs point toward other machines.
Pros and cons
- Scan to popular cloud services
- Front USB host for flash drives
- Security tools for shared use
- Automatic two-sided printing
- Black and white output only
- Spec table has mismatched entries
- Power draw not listed
Performance notes
Simultaneous operation means printing and scanning proceed together, so a busy workgroup does not queue behind one job. The touchscreen shortcuts shorten recurring tasks. Optional trays raise paper capacity for longer runs.
