Brother MFC 6800

The Brother MFC-6800 is a multi-function laser machine that can be used for high quality printing, copying, scanning and faxing. Due to its compact shape and capability, this machine is perfect for using in small offices or for home workers. The reasonable price and variety of functions this laser printer, copier and fax machine has to offer makes it a popular choice among small office users.

For several years this laser machine has been serving its clients without complaint. The build quality, feature-set and reliability all combine to make a decent machine that won’t let you down.

It has the capacity to hold up to 200 pages to provide a smooth supply of paper when copying or printing large jobs. At a speed of 10 pages per minute it has the ability to produce 99 copies of 600 x 600 dpi resolution. Whether you want to copy magazines, books or anything else, this machine offers quick and reliable printing at a highly affordable price.

Besides being used as a copier, the Brother MFC-6800 can also be used as a scanner. Although the machine is multi faceted, it has separate work panels and controls for each function. While the printer’s controls are a little complex, the scanner is pretty straightforward with a “scan to” button on the front panel. Similarly the fax system functions pretty well also. It is fast with a speed of 14.4kbps and has an 8MB memory which stores up to 500 pages. The fax system offers document feeding options for a text of almost 30 pages.

In addition to all the above mentioned functions, the Brother MFC-6800 offers flexibility to work with Windows and iMac/iBook or G3/G4 applications. At a highly reasonable price the customers can benefit from added features like duplexing too. However there are certain compromises to the large number of benefits the customers are provided through this multi-function. First and foremost the paper tray is not very large. Secondly the printer controls offer a certain level of complexity. Thirdly, if not properly placed in the tray, paper can get stuck. Those are very minor niggles in what is an otherwise excellent product. Even with those downsides the positives still outweigh the negatives by a fair margin.

The Brother MFC-6800 is a perfect device for offices looking for an all in one solution for copying, printing, faxing and scanning. It’s also very economical with a toner cartridge that can go for ages without needing replacing.
