Overview

A busy workroom with several users is where this Brother multifunction laser fits, printing, copying, scanning and faxing from one body. A color touchscreen drives the menus, and mobile printing runs through Brother iPrint&Scan and Wi-Fi Direct.

Speed, a feeder and expandable trays make it a capable shared machine. The limit is that it handles black only, and some listing fields, such as the copy volume, hold placeholders.

Who it's for

Offices with steady paperwork and a few shared users get the most from the feeder and fax. Households, color work and light printing do not need this much machine.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Fast black and white output
  • Automatic document feeder
  • Print, copy, scan and fax
  • Automatic two-sided printing
Cons
  • Black and white output only
  • Heavy for a desk

Performance notes

The laser engine sets the page rate, and the feeder handles multi-page originals without anyone at the glass. Duplex is the default for printing, with single-pass copy, scan and fax. Optional trays extend paper capacity for larger runs.
