Perfect for home offices or small business with large paper needs, as well as busier work groups in need of advanced networking capabilities, the DCP-8080 brings a high level of quality and versatility to the modern business setting. The large paper capacity and multiple copy, print, and scan options mean that you can get your work done in-house without worrying about your bottom line.

Features and Functionality

Boasting copy and print speeds of up to 32 pages per minute, the Brother DCP-8080 places speed and efficacy at the top of the list. Pages are output in crisp, clear monochrome ink, with a wide gray scale range for graphics and images. A solid 1200 x 1200 dpi rounds out the abilities of the printer, putting a professional polish on everything you print.

Multiple-page documents are easy to scan and copy thanks to the 50-page automatic document feeder, which allows you to input your pages and walk away to let the machine do the rest of the work. Single copies and scans can be placed on the glass top flatbed feature, which comes standard at legal-size. Although prints and copies are black and white only, the scan feature is offered in 48-bit color, and can be sent as PDF or JPEG files.

When making copies on the Brother DCP-8080, you can make adjustments on the LCD screen to reduce (down to 25 percent size) or enlarge (up to 400 percent size) your documents. Additional options include copy sorting and creating up to 99 copies at a time.

The 250-sheet paper tray makes it easy to keep the Brother DCP-8080 stocked and ready to run. Although the tray is adjustable only for legal and letter paper, other types of media (including envelopes, transparencies, card stock, recycled paper, and letterhead) can be placed in the fully adjustable 50-sheet multipurpose tray.

The DCP-8080 can connect to individual computers by the USB port, which offers instant connections. Larger offices and work groups can connect to an external Ethernet device to make it easier to share the machine. The standard 64MB of memory makes it possible for large, complex jobs and multiple users to make use of the printer, and compatibility with both Mac and Windows operating systems means that different types of users can all tap in.

The Brother DCP-8080 toner comes in two cartridge sizes: the 8,000-page yield (the TN650) and 3,000-page yield (the TN620). Both types of DCP-8080 toner are offered in standard Black only, and can be replaced via the flip-down panel. Your printer will alert you when quantities get low, providing you with enough time to order your replacement parts.

Overview

The Brother DCP-7040 is a good choice for the home, home office, or even small business office. It allows for stand-alone copying, either from the flatbed glass or the 35-page auto document feeder. Because it doesn't have to be connected to a computer at all times, you can still run off monochrome copies whenever you happen to need them.

The machine comes with 16MB memory standard and is compatible with both Windows and Mac.

Individual pages can be placed directly onto the letter-sized flatbed glass, or they can be loaded into the 35-page auto document feeder. Reductions go as low as 25 percent and as high as 400 percent, allowing you to make adjustments to patterns, hard-to-read text, etc.

Scanning can be done in either color or black-and-white. Optical scan resolution is about 600 x 2400 dpi. Images can be exported to TIFF, BMP, MAX, JPG, PDF, or PNG, and the machine's "scan to" feature allows you to choose email, image, OCR, or file.

The DCP-7040 comes with a standard toner cartridge that yields approximately 1,000 printed pages. This can be replaced with either the TN330 toner cartridge that yields about 1,500 pages or the TN360 toner cartridge that yields approximately 2,600 pages. While the TN360 does cost more initially, it has the ability to lower your overall cost per page. All DCP-7040 cartridges come in Brother and Brother-compatible options, allowing you even more versatility in your purchase.
