Here we have a multifunction center that fully embodies the concept of a small office printer. The Canon Copier ImageClass MF4690 has all of the features you’d expect from a Canon all in one, but doesn’t go overboard with the bells and whistles, which plants this unit firmly in the realm where performance is balanced [...]

Though ominous looking, this all black imageCLASS MFC from Canon is actually designed specifically with user friendliness in mind. The Canon Copier imageCLASS MF4270 comes equipped with network capabilities, but many of its features are obviously aimed at the individual user, such as its small size and limited network options. Faxing and printing are fully [...]

For those who think duplex printing capability is too much to ask for in a light duty multifunction center, think again, and take a look at the Canon Copier ImageClass MF4150. This unit performs well in all aspects expected of a home office to small business grade printer, and can also produce double sided prints, [...]

Multifunctional units that combine many hardware capabilities into single packages are notorious for their high price tags. This is largely in part to the commonality of super inflated, industrial grade features that only businesses with extremely high output demands would be interested in. Not everyone needs three hundred one-touch speed dials on their fax machine. [...]

Canon had the right idea with their imageCLASS D320 printer/copier: an absolutely no frills laser machine with a small footprint that made utilizing the speed of laser technology affordable. The only drawback that specifically stood out in a machine designed for performance alone was the lack of an automatic document feeder. Canon remedied this problem [...]

The sleek, simplistic exterior of the Canon Copier imageCLASS D320 resembles a piece of modern art and, with 15 pages per minute print and copy speeds in an overall economic package, some may say that that’s exactly what it is. Canon’s user friendly single cartridge system makes swapping out toner problem free, and efficient, eliminating [...]

For those who remember Brother’s top of the line business class all in one unit, the MFC-9440CN, you may recall that with rapid, color laser printing and fax capabilities, it was the printer that did it all. Now, with the Brother MFC-9840CDW, you can do even more. Brother has optimized the versatility of its color [...]

Brother is a brand known for products that implement much of the latest technological gadgets, bells, and whistles. You will often find luxurious convenience features included in MFC Multifunction Centers that make using the hardware not only effective, but user friendly. You will not find any of those here. The Brother MFC-9700 is a bare [...]

The Brother MFC-8860DN is a printer that covers all its bases. While it’s almost impossible to find a multi purpose unit that doesn’t seem to sacrifice one feature for another, the MFC-8860DN is pretty much a solid performer in every area possible for its class. If you don’t know exactly what you want in a [...]

For the small to medium sized business that requires the speed of a laser along with full color printing capabilities in an all in one unit, Brother offers the MFC-9420CN that not only functions quickly and easily, it does so in full, brilliant color at laser speeds.

From time to time an electronics company will create for us a deluxe model all in one multifunction center that sports both automatic duplexing and networking. The Brother MFC-8660DN is one of those special machines. The beauty of having both networking and duplexing incorporated into your office printer is that the pampered feeling of being [...]

Way back in 2007, C|net gave their editor’s choice award to the Brother MFC-9440CN multifunction center. This powerful color laser all in one unit is so loaded full of top of the line features, such as color faxing and a USB direct interface, as well as an entire line of professional grade specifications, it isn’t [...]

At one time the MFC-8870DW was quite literally at the top of the line for Brother’s Multifunction Center series. If you wanted absolutely every feature Brother had to offer in an MFC, this was the device to turn to. The now discontinued model has been surpassed since by bigger and better things as new technology [...]

The Brother MFC-8890DW is an all in one print/fax unit with the same hardware as the popular Brother MFC-8480DN, but with added wireless networking capability and automatic duplexing. It is similar in many ways to the other printers in Brother’s Multifunction Center or MFC line, and also includes a few modern, extra touches, such as [...]

The Brother MFC-8640N is a variation of the popular MFC-8640 that also has added networking capability. Interestingly, Brother also offers a third variation in the series, an MFC-8640D with duplexing capabilities. I suppose it would be too good to be true to have a unit that combines all three, but either way, they all are [...]

If you’re looking for a product that can print, copy, scan, and fax, Brother offers their Multifunction Center or MFC line which carries a wide array of options differing from printer to printer and, for the office with high output demands, the Brother MFC-8640D is at the top of the list. With comprehensive controls and [...]

What is there to say about the Brother MFC-8820D? It’s like a person with an eating problem; it’s half as fast and twice as heavy as others. Oddly enough, other than its slow print speed and robust weight, it comes complete with all the high performing features of other Brother printers in the line, some [...]

The Brother MFC-8500 is an older model and is no longer in production. That being said, there are still plenty of new and used units available for purchase on sites like Amazon, and technical support is still available, as well as toner cartridges. If you’re interested in cutting costs by purchasing something that isn’t necessarily [...]

The Brother MFC-8460N is another all in one printer from the Brother line that pretty much does everything and, for the price, does it well. In fact, the only thing that really stands out about it is the fairly huge LCD display Brother decided to put on the front of the unit, making this model [...]

When a piece of hardware is the third generation in a line of similar models, such as the Brother MFC-8480DN, many of the initial bugs that electronics are notorious for have had a chance to be worked out, resulting in an often more reliable product than first gen experimental ones. This time tested unit is [...]

The term “All in one” gets thrown around a lot when dealing with multifunctional centers, but the Brother MFC-845CW is one of the select few that actually lives up to the name. This piece of hardware can print, fax, copy, scan, PC Fax, make a phone call, answer your phone calls, display a color image, [...]

It would be nice to see more printers and all in one units that offer NC-2100P and NC-2200W options like the Brother MFC-8440, meaning, though Ethernet and Wireless are not included in the unit, you at least have the option of upgrading. Then again, the external Ethernet cards are so costly you’re really better off [...]

The Brother MFC-8220 is similar in specifications to other Multifunction Centers offered by Brother, but comes in a slightly heftier package, which allows for a couple features you won’t find on the models designed with a smaller footprint. At 17.0″ x 17.8″ x 13.2″ in dimension, the unit takes up a little more space in [...]

PC magazine handed their editor’s choice award over to the Brother MFC-7840W back in 2008, and even a year later the unit remains popular due to its well stocked line of implemented features, most notably its wireless networking capability.
