Manual of product MFC-9840CDW
Editorial note
The Brother MFC-9840CDW is a multifunction printer that stands out for its high-quality prints, with a maximum resolution of 600 x 2400 DPI, ideal for professional documents and vibrant images. Its printing speed of 20 pages per minute, both in black and color, helps optimize work time, and the duplex printing feature contributes to economical resource management. However, this device has some notable drawbacks. It does not have a duplex scanning function, which can limit its effectiveness when scanning double-sided documents. Additionally, it is not compatible with Mac systems, which could pose a problem for some users. Its weight of 38 kg can also complicate its movement, and although the printing speed is acceptable, it may seem slow compared to newer models. Finally, the noise level of 54.5 dB during printing can be disruptive in quiet workspaces. In terms of performance, the Brother MFC-9840CDW scores well, with a generally positive user experience thanks to an intuitive interface. However, the lack of certain features may frustrate some users. Its design is functional but has the disadvantage of being heavy, thus limiting flexibility in an office environment. Regarding value for money, the product offers good advanced features, but the lack of compatibility with Mac remains a point to consider. Overall, the Brother MFC-9840CDW is a solid choice for professional users looking for a high-performing device, despite some limitations that could influence the choice of certain users.Score details
