Brother Adds New Monochrome Printers and MFPs for SOHO and Small Workgroups
Brother Internatonal USA today introduced five new A4 monochrome laser printers and MFPs, with three designed for home and small offices, and the two others designed for small workgroups and enterprises. The new models include two single-function printers and three MFPs.
The new lineup provides print speeds of up to 36 ppm, automatic duplex printing, 250-sheet paper capacity, and flexible connectivity options. The three MFPs feature a new enhanced fuser design that’s said to provide a 22-percent reduction in total electricity consumption (TEC) compared to their predecessors. The new fuser design also provides a significantly shorter warmup time from sleep mode, so users can start printing in half the time. The MFPs also provide an improved user interface.
All new models are compatible with Brother’ Refresh EZ toner subscription service.
