Brother MFC-8510DN Printer Review

The Brother MFC-8510DN is an upgrade from its more simplistic base model, the MFC-8510, adding on features such as duplexing that will allow users to print double sided on paper and an ethernet interface for network connectivity. This monochrome laser printer has a quick multifunction design, copying documents at a rate of up to 38 pages per minute. Users will also be able to scan and fax projects, combining with flexible paper handling to make the MFC-8510DN a solid choice for small offices.

The device comes with a decent package of office-centric capabilities, including its secure print and secure function lock features, which will handle users' sensitive documents. The front panel provides access to a range of additional features like a full keypad for fax dialing and a monochrome LCD that tracks job progress and Brother MFC-8510DN printer toner levels. In addition to its USB port and network connections, users will also be able to print when they're away from their desks with the built-in AirPrint and Google Cloud print technology that provide wireless connectivity to mobile devices and remote printing.

The MFC-8510DN has the design to support medium printing volumes, providing users with a 250-sheeet input tray and a 50-sheet multipurpose tray. In addition, the unit has the ability to handle a maximum monthly duty cycle of up to 50,000 pages. The scanner also comes with its own dedicated media feeder that can hold up to 35 pages and automatically scan paper for large jobs.

The unit offers a satisfactory monochrome output that's on par with its class, printing text and graphics with a resolution of 1200x1200 dpi using the black Brother MFC-8510DN toner cartridge. Users will only need to replace one supply at a time, with standard capacity toners lasting up to 3,000 pages each. To support offices with a greater workflow, high-capacity Brother MFC-8510DN toner cartridges can yield a maximum of 8,000 pages.

There is much to like about the MFC-8510DN, such as expanded connectivity options from its base model, its ability to print, scan, copy and fax documents, and simple printing from compatible mobile devices. Small offices with medium-volume printing needs will benefit from the low cost of Brother MFC-8510DN toner and the unit's office-centric design.
