Brother MFC 8890DW

The Brother MFC-8890DW is an all in one machine, allowing the user to do all the scanning, printing, copying and faxing on one piece of equipment, saving costs and more importantly, workspace. This is a relatively newer model in the MFC series. A stand out advantage of this machine is the ease with which you can produce your documents in different styles. No more manual flipping of pages with the MFC-8890DW laser printer.

The MFC-8890 DW saves a lot of paper with its duplex ability. This newer model in the laser printer category allows producing two-sided printing and scanning, unlike the older makes that have duplex only for printing. The machine has a built in automatic system of document adjustments, allowing the user to produce what they need without having to leave their seat at all. The machine is wireless, a feature that I prefer in each type of office equipment. However, it can be wired to different systems when required.

The manufacturer claims a printing speed of thirty two pages per minute but practically it is slightly less than that. I personally prefer the quality of prints that the machine produces over lesser speed as the resolution is great with all the prints and scans that I do. The print resolution given by the Brother MFC-8890DW is approximately 1200 x 1200 dots per inch. The fax option that comes in with the printer is also one of the reasons to go for Brother MFC-8890DW. The fax machine in the system is easy to operate and there is not a lot of hassle involved with faxing.

The Brother MFC-8890DW functions well over a network with both wireless and wired networking options available. The transfer rate is fairly swift over the network. The machine has the option of color scanning over the network, a feature not very common in multi-task printers. The paper storing capacity is up to 300 sheets, which is sufficient if you’re a small team using the machine, otherwise you may have to feed paper frequently. This is not an issue frankly, as a lot depends on the nature of work we have to do.

There is a fair amount of software installation that I had to do before the machine started functioning. This is a slight drawback for those who are not good with such things.
Otherwise, Brother MFC-8890DW is enough for all my printing, scanning, faxing and copying needs at the workplace as well as having the added bonus of being really efficient with toner usage, so it is not an expensive unit to keep.
