Premium Design and Key Features
Ultra-Low-Cost Refill Tank System with Front Access
The printer incorporates an integrated high-capacity ink reservoir array that completely eliminates the need for expensive, wasteful plastic cartridges. Positioned on the front flank of the chassis, the transparent chambers feature optimized 45-degree angle intake ports, allowing users to trace remaining ink levels at a glance and execute a completely mess-free, spill-proof refilling routine.
Automated Duplex Printing and Versatile Paper Trays
The core media delivery engine includes an integrated automatic double-sided duplex module to save paper resources seamlessly. This balances with a generous 150-sheet enclosed lower paper input tray that protects paper stock from dust, alongside a single-sheet manual bypass override slot designed to handle heavy cardstocks, envelope formats, and custom glossy photo paper smoothly.
1-Line LCD Display and Fluid Control Panel
A clear 1-line segment monochrome liquid crystal screen anchors the front control panel dashboard. This simple visual text layout provides real-time device parameters, error codes, and step-by-step maintenance prompts. Combined with clicky tactile buttons, users can easily execute standalone color copying, change scaling factor bounds, or trigger head cleanings without looking at a computer screen.
Intelligent Wireless Mobile Connectivity
Equipped with built-in Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi Direct protocols, the printer effortlessly links with local office routers, laptops, smartphones, and tablets. Through the official Brother Mobile Connect app, Apple AirPrint, and Mopria wireless print plug-ins, operators can easily command remote printing tasks, adjust paper formats, or scan digital files directly to local storage devices.
