Not only is the Brother DCP-1400 an affordable and compact copy machine, but it is also a very capable laser printer and scanner. This makes it an excellent value considering its low price, fast speeds and efficient use of
discount toner. Inexpensive Brother DCP-1400 toner keeps operating costs low.
The DCP-1400 is built to produce fast and high-quality copies. It has a large 50-sheet automatic document feeder for scanning many pages at once, but it also includes a flatbed scanner for larger or bulkier materials that can't go through the feeder. This versatility is a nice bonus as many small office machines include only one option or the other, like the
Brother MFC-7340 toner printer.
The unit is quite compact, especially considering all of its functionality. It measures 16.9 inches by 19.4 inches by 18 inches and weighs 37.5 pounds with the
Brother toner cartridge installed. Considering it is really three devices in one, its small design is very impressive and will save space in any office. It can be connected to a computer via parallel or USB, and it supports both Mac and Windows platforms.
Maximum scanning resolution is 600 dpi, but the interpolated resolution is 9600 dpi, which simulates a higher resolution for better scans. Print and copy speeds are around 15 pages per minute, and the 600 dpi printing engine produces high-quality prints.
Replacing toners doesn't have to be expensive with Brother DCP-1400 toner cartridges. Not only are Brother DCP-1400 toner cartridges very affordable, but they come in high-yield versions which offer users a low cost per page. Third-party compatible Brother DCP-1400 toner is also available for those who would like to make it an even more economical solution.
With so many great features in one machine, calling the Brother DCP-1400 a copier doesn't do it justice. It is a true multifunction device with great features and its affordable price makes it an excellent value for the small office.
