Brother MFC 7860DW

 

The $299 Brother MFC-7860DW monochrome laser printer is an all-in-one solution for offices that don't generally produce graphics prints, but require a versatile machine that can operate as a standalone fax machine, copier, and scanner in addition to...

Brother makes it easy to network the MFC-7860DW with collaborators, and its modest price tag makes sense for budget-minded shoppers.

Larger offices will feel cramped by the printer's small paper input tray and 10,000-sheet recommended output per month.

The Brother MFC-7860DW and its autodocument feeder, wireless connectivity, and simple installation make it an apt match for small businesses with moderate printing needs.

Brother MFC-7860DW

 

The MFC-7860DW offers all of the basic MFP features most offices need, starting with printing, scanning, and faxing from a PC as well as working as a standalone copier and fax machine. It also offers a 35-page ADF along with a flatbed, which lets it...

Suitably small for personal use or for a micro office. Ethernet and WiFi. Duplexer. Single-sheet manual feed

No paper handling upgrade options

The Brother MFC-7860DW is small enough to serve as a personal mono laser MFP, but also offers Ethernet and WiFi connections to let it serve as a shared printer in a micro office.

Brother MFC 7860DW

 

Small businesses and small offices buy low-cost monochrome laser printers instead of inkjet models for two main reasons: Lasers are faster, and they're less expensive to operate. The latter is key: The consumables—that is, the toner cartridges and...

Outstanding text quality ; Automatic duplexing

Subpar copying, scanning ; A bit pricey ; Low monthly duty cycle

This multifunction laser is a good fit for small businesses that need a text-document printer, but its image scanning and copying are subpar.

We ordered one to test with our case management system. We required the onboard emulation of PCL. It worked fine, so we ordered nine more and they work very well. The initial cartridge ran out quickly, but the normal ones work fine. The scanning and...
