The Brother MFC-J4540DW is a multi-function printer with a heavy emphasis on the ‘multi’.
It’s designed to satisfy the needs of a home office or small business, offering fast efficient printing, copying, scanning and faxing (whatever that is). The J4540 is also billing itself as an ‘INKvestment’ because the ink cartridges included last for a year’s worth of printing, though that statement is qualified.
In addition to the print, copy, scan and fax capabilities the J4540 also has:
- Automatic duplex printing with a 20 sheet automatic document feeder
- A paper capacity of up to 400 sheets, split across two paper trays in A5 and A4
- It’s mobile compatible via the the Brother Mobile Connect app
- Wireless, Wi-Fi Direct, NFC, Ethernet and USB connectivity
- Printing speeds of up to 20ppm (pages per minute) single sided and 11ppm duplex
- A first page out time (FPOT) of 5.8 seconds
- Scanning speed of 17ipm (images per minute)
- A one sheet paper feeder at the rear of the unit which will accept paper up to 300gsm
- A 2 year return to base warranty
