Our verdict

A business color laser printer with automatic double-sided printing, a touch screen and a large paper capacity. The function field says print only, even though the features mention a document feeder.

Overview

A laser print engine fed by cyan, magenta, yellow and black toner cartridges produces the color and black output in this Brother business printer. It prints on both sides automatically, takes envelopes and card stock, and joins a network over Wi-Fi or Ethernet.

High paper capacity and a choice of toner yields suit a busy team that prints in volume. The listing is inconsistent on scanning, naming a feeder in the features while the function field says print only, so it should be treated as a printer.

Who it's for

A busy office that shares one color printer over Wi-Fi or Ethernet and wants a large paper supply. A buyer who wants scanning and copying, or a small footprint for a desk, should look at a multifunction model.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Automatic double-sided printing
  • Large paper capacity
  • Choice of toner yields
  • Wi-Fi and Ethernet networking
Cons
  • Function field says print only
  • Scanner details contradict each other
  • Heavy for a desktop

Performance notes

Four toner cartridges layer color onto the page in a single pass, so color and black pages move at the same pace. The larger toner yields stretch the interval between replacements, and the trays set how long a job can run before a refill. Network setup follows the dual-band wireless or wired link named in the listing.
