Brother MFC-L8850CDW Printer and Toner Cartridges

Brother MFC-L8850CDW has a faster rated and tested speed than its little brother, the MFC-L8600CDW one of the two workgroup MFPs launched at the same time—and a higher maximum monthly duty cycle (60,000 sheets to the MFC-L8600CDW's 40,000). Its 50-sheet ADF trumps the Brother MFC-L8600CDW's 35-sheet unit, which lacks the MFC-L8850CDW's support for duplex scanning, copying, and faxing. The other new model, the Brother MFC-L9950CDW has all the features of the MFC-L8850CDW, but is built for higher-volume printing, with a maximum 75,000-page duty cycle, and can use extra-high capacity toner cartridges to lower its running costs. At 20.9 by 19.3 by 20.7 inches (HWD), this MFP is too big to share a desk with. Given that it weighs 67 pounds, you'll want two people to move it into place. Its swept-back front panel includes a 4.8-inch color touch screen. On top is a 50-sheet automatic document feeder (ADF) that supports single-pass copying, scanning, and faxing of two-sided, multipage documents of up to legal size. The printer connects to a PC via a USB cable, or to a network via Ethernet or Wi-Fi. It supports Wi-Fi Direct, which allows for direct printing between compatible devices without the need to go through a Wi-Fi access point. It's compatible with Apple AirPrint, Brother iPrint&Scan, Mopria, Google Cloud Print, and Cortado WorkPlace for printing from mobile devices. I tested it over an Ethernet connection, with the drivers installed on a computer running Windows Vista.
