MFC-9440CN All-in-One Color Laser Printer

 

Brother's MFC-9440CN color laser multifunction printer succeeds by focusing on the basic needs of a small office. It comes with some compromises in design and print quality, but taken as a whole, it's a worthy choice.

Fast for its engine speed Text prints quickly and looks great

Yellowish, grainy photos Cramped output tray; hefty toner rack

The voluminous documentation for this unit comes in HTML format on the included CD, or you can download it as a PDF file. Most of the content is good, but the instructions for using the menus are often obtuse, citing menu items by serial number rather...

Brother MFC-9420CN

 

The Brother MFC-9420CN color laser AIO offers a full set of print, scan, copy, and fax features.

Fast performance for the price. Prints, scans, and faxes over network. Includes 35-page automatic document feeder.

Actual monochrome print speed is a bit slower than we'd expect from the rated speed.

Brother MFC-9440CN

 

The Brother MFC-9440CN ($700 street) gets almost everything right. Clearly designed as a color laser all-in-one (AIO) for the small office, busy home office, or small workgroup in a larger office, it offers fast print speed, an attractive price, and...

Fast. Scans to and faxes from PC over network. Standalone copier and fax

Setup for scanning from the front panel requires manual steps

The Brother MFC-9440CN is an attractive choice for the small office or home office for its features and fast print speed, even though it stubs its toe somewhat on output quality.

Brother MFC-9420CN (3mice)

 

The Brother MFC-9420CN offers most of the functions you'd want in an all-in-one, but its design often gets in the way. We'd trade some of its admirable speed for better print quality and ease of use.

Fast ; copious fax features ; includes automatic document feeder

Confusing control panel ; mediocre quality printing graphics ; potentially annoying network software ; no duplex capability ; inadequate documentation

Smaller offices, take note: the MFC-9420CN cannot be tucked discreetly into a corner. It's big, heavy (76.7 pounds), and loud, emitting distinct clunking noises during power-up and printing. You'll need nearly three feet of height clearance to raise...

Brother MFC-9440CN

 

Excellent quality prints and speed in both colour and monochrome ; two start buttons for the copier, one to copy in black and white, the other in colour

It doesn't have an LCD interface, OCR results were sub par

At its price point we feel an LCD interface should have been a given. However, the Brother MFC-9440CN is a robust and durable machine that delivers quality output at good speeds.

Brother MFC-9440CN multifunction printer

 

While it may not be the first name you think of for printing, Brother International has built a strong niche in the small business space. Its latest colour laser multifunction printer (MFP) printer is the Brother MFC-9440CN.

At its price point we feel an LCD interface should have been a given. However, the Brother MFC-9440CN is a robust and durable machine that delivers quality output at good speeds.

Brother MFC-9420CN

 

Brother is pushing the MFC-9420CN as a business-friendly MFD (multifunction device). It's quick and built for high volume, with a 250-sheet paper tray and a 35-page automatic document feeder, and the device's colour-faxing capabilities are excellent.

The Brother MFC-9420CN offers most of the functions you’d want in an all-in-one, but its design often gets in the way. We’d trade some of its admirable speed for better print quality and ease of use.
