best multifunction color laser printer 2011

The A4 scanner, complete with 50-sheet Automatic Document Feeder (ADF), has a fold-shut paper feed and a full duplex scanner head, so it can copy any combination of single and double-sided pages.Įven though the machine is intended for busy office environments, the main paper tray can still only take 250 sheets. The other third is made up with a number pad, illuminated mode buttons and others to start and stop jobs. Large, easy to read icons and well-designed menus make it easy to access features such as secure print and direct print from the front panel USB socket. Between them, these two components take up two thirds of the machine’s control panel and the touchscreen is sensitive and positive to the touch. This printer’s most obvious differences from those lower down the range are its 130mm touchscreen and its 20-button quick-dial fax pad. At the top of these, the MFC-9970CDW is a multifunction with all the trimmings.

Brother’s stated desire to get into the workgroup printer and multifunction market has been well realised with its new range of machines.
