Manual of product MFC-8840D
Editorial note
The Brother MFC-8840D is a multifunction printer that stands out for its printing speed, reaching up to 21 pages per minute, making it an ideal choice for high-volume work environments. Its print resolution of 600 x 600 DPI, as well as its maximum scanning capability of 9600 x 9600 DPI, ensure exceptional clarity of documents and images. Additionally, its all-in-one functionality, including printing, copying, and faxing, offers great versatility to meet various professional needs. However, this model has some drawbacks. Its limited compatibility with Mac systems may restrict its use for some users. Furthermore, while its internal memory of 32 MB is sufficient for simple tasks, it may prove inadequate for heavier jobs or large print volumes. Its weight of 18,100 g can also complicate its movement and installation, especially in tight workspaces. Finally, its relatively high power consumption in operating mode (1090 W) can lead to higher energy costs, which may be a disadvantage for those looking to minimize their ecological footprint. Despite these negative points, the Brother MFC-8840D offers good value for money, with solid features ensuring high-quality prints. Users particularly appreciate the print resolution and all-in-one functionality, making it an interesting choice for professionals seeking a reliable printing solution.Score details
