Laser printers sell because of the speed at wh ich they ca n spin out prints. Given this, the Brother DCP 701 0 is a prime multifunction device. The quality ofthe prints is excellent for text and graphs. However,as this is a mono device, it can restrict how you print charts and tables. The speed of printing was impressive, as the DCP 701 managed just over 20 pages-per¬minute when printing mixed text and graphics as well as plain text. There is a 250-page paper tray and a manual feed for envelopes.





The built-in scanner can also be used as a photocopier and won't keep you waiting.You can change the size of the original document, either shrinking it or enlarging it,and you have the option to print out on a nine-page poster.The copy buttons underneath the display allow changes to be made that only apply to the next copy. Connection to a computer is either with USB 2 or the older parallel port. Once the Brother software is installed on your PC, you can scan directly to your preferred image-editing application.

The toner cartridge can be replaced without replacing the actual pril
mechanism, keeping costs down. A single line monochrome display alerts you about the status of the printer.Our gripe is that adjusting the settings 0 the device can be a bit confusing an, hence take time getting used to.
