Manual of product MFC-J270W
Editorial note
The Brother MFC-J270W printer stands out for its all-in-one features, offering printing, scanning, copying, and faxing solutions, making it an excellent choice for users with varied needs. Its print quality is remarkable thanks to a maximum resolution of 1200 x 6000 DPI, ensuring documents and images of exceptional clarity. Additionally, Wi-Fi connectivity allows for convenient wireless use, facilitating printing from different devices. However, several drawbacks deserve to be highlighted. The lack of automatic duplex printing can lead to increased paper consumption and limited time savings when printing double-sided documents. Furthermore, the absence of Ethernet/LAN connectivity could pose issues for those who prefer a wired network connection. The internal memory of only 32 MB may also prove insufficient for more intensive tasks, impacting efficiency in a busy work environment. The writing scores reflect an overall positive user experience, with a score of 80, although some limitations are noted in performance (70) and features (76). The compact design of the printer is appreciated (75), as is its low energy consumption, which gives it a good value for money (78). In conclusion, the Brother MFC-J270W is an interesting option for light home and professional use, but users should be aware of its limitations.Score details
