Brother Mfc-8440 – Optional Networks With A Legal Sized Document Glass

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 just buying a unit designed for networking if your demands require it. Either way, the option is there with the MFC-8440, and, with a full range of high end capabilities, the unit can serve as a great assistance to your small office with or without a network.

Though the unit itself is reasonably sized the flatbed scanner fixated to the top is big, and it’s designed that way. This sturdy flatbed model hides a document glass capable of scanning full legal sized paper, or even an open magazine. It also simplifies the scanning process for single pages, removing the need to use an auto feed and, for larger sets of work that need to be scanned, copied, or faxed, the unit does come equipped with an enormous 50 sheet capacity automatic document feeder that can do a lot of the work for you when dealing with entire manuscripts or multiple projects at one time. The scan resolution itself is not bad, with optical scoring a 600 X 2400 dot per inch res, and a maximuminterpolated scan resolution of up to 9600 dots per inch, with optional color scanning with a 48 bit depth.

The “Scan to” feature also allows you to scan directly to an e mail, image, or other file type, but don’t forget the handy OCR feature available thanks to the included Scansoft PaperPort® SE with OCR for Windows® and Presto!® PageManager® for Mac® software. With Optical Character Recognitionyou can scan an incoming fax not just as a picture, but as an actual digital text file making it possible to ultimately edit hard copies on the desktop. Thanks to the flatbed design you can even scan pages from a book.

Black and white copying can be done stand alone or with a PC, and includes helpful options accessible through the built in LCD screen such as enlargement and reduction ratios of 25 % through 400 %, which means you can use the 2 in 1 or 4 in 1 options to squeeze up to four pages onto one. The unit doesn’t stop there and also offers a comprehensive sorting function to automatically sort multiple copies, and also a poster function for over sizing.

Faxes will be delivered and received quickly thanks to the 33.6K bps Super G3 Fax Modem, at a rate of about 2 seconds per page. The 32 MBs of built in memory is capable of up to 500 pages of fax memory and, for very high demand scenarios, the memory can be upgraded and allocated for even more, though the 340 total auto dial locations and 390 possible broadcasting locations are already almost twice that of some units with the same amount of on board RAM so, even without shelling out the extra cash, the Brother MFC-8440 should suit most light to medium sized office demands.
