Brother MFC-9440CN Review

Whilst it might not be the first brand people think of with regard to printing, Brother has built a powerful specialized niche within the small business space. The most recent colour laser multifunction printer (MFP) printer is the Brother MFC-9440CN.

Network-ready utilizing both USB as well as LAN interfaces, the Brother MFC-9440CN brings together a fax, copier and scanner with a colour laser printer in one unit weighing-in at a substantial 33kg and additionally measuring 43x49x48mm. Thus, it isn't one of the largest sized MFPs on the market, but it does take up some room.

The MFC-9440CN's panel boasts 16 fax number presets, in addition to controls with regard to copy, fax as well as print functions. A dialling keypad happens to be incorporated, and one element we definitely loved were the two start buttons with regard to the copier, one to copy in black and white, and the second in colour. This can be a helpful attribute for organizations looking to regulate their colour printing charges. One problem is the dialog display on the panel, which is two lines and text only. This hampers some of the MFC-9440CN's walk-up features.

Brother has selected to use single-pass laser technology. This leads to quicker printing as compared to standard laser engineering; with Brother claiming the MFC-9440CN is capable of rates as high as 22 pages per minute (ppm) in non colored documents and also 17ppm in colour. This also means four separate Brother MF9440CN toner cartridges, one each for black, magenta, cyan as well as yellow. New cartridges for the MFC-9440CN are simple to put in and replace. High-yield cartridges can be found at a higher price, plus an ecology setting within the printer menu enables additional toner conservation.

We have found the MFC-9440CN's 300-page capacity of the print tray to be on the small side, and with regard to the usual small to medium business customer purchasing the additional lower tray could be worth taking into consideration.

Regarding the printing part we were extremely impressed with the quality as well as speed of the MFC-9440CN's output both in monochrome, and also colour. There are a number of diverse quality configurations to pick from, plus both text as well as pictures printed beautifully.

For the scanning side the MFC-9440CN presents two choices: from the machine alone or from the desktop. We performed the greater part of scanning through the desktop computer using the incorporated scanning software. Whilst easy to use, we found the scanning engine fairly lacking in useful functionality. You may also scan directly from the MFC-9440CN, however this simply takes a scan of the entire scanner bed and in addition sends it to a file on your computer, leaving a bit of editing to be completed.

Image quality of scanned photos was outstanding. However, we found the results of the MFC-9440CN's optical character recognition (OCR) engine to be sub par. It identified every one of the characters, nonetheless they were quite messy. Copying speed is a touch sluggish when compared with a dedicated copier, but very well inside the range for an MFP. Quality once again was outstanding.

The front of the MFC-9440CN has a USB port in order to plug-in a memory stick or digital camera, permitting the printing of pictures directly from the memory card. This is an excellent function, but again the lack of an Liquid crystal display injures, as you have to know the actual file name to be able to print it. So you can get around this, a contact sheet may be printed with file names and also image thumbnails. A USB port additionally supports the direct printing of PDF files.

At this price point we think an LCD interface really should have been a given. Nevertheless, the Brother MFC-9440CN is a sturdy and resilient machine which in turn delivers top quality output at good speeds.
