Manual of product MFC-7420
Editorial note
The Brother MFC-7420 printer stands out for its all-in-one functionality, offering printing, scanning, and faxing in a single device. Its printing speed of 20 pages per minute is suitable for daily use, and its 250-sheet paper capacity makes it easier to handle large volumes of documents. Additionally, the high printing and scanning resolution, reaching up to 9600 x 9600 DPI, ensures results of exceptional clarity, which is ideal for professional documents. However, some drawbacks must be considered. Limited compatibility with Mac systems may restrict use for some users, while the weight of 9450 g makes moving and installing it more difficult, especially in tight spaces. The printing speed, although satisfactory, may not be suitable for very high-demand work environments. Furthermore, the internal memory of only 16 MB may limit performance when processing large documents. Overall, the user experience is positive due to the versatility of the device. The value for money is considered satisfactory, taking into account the performance and features offered, even if some users may find the internal memory insufficient. The laser printing technology provides good durability, but the lack of out-of-the-box network connectivity may complicate integration into modern offices.Score details
