The Fast Brother MFC-9420CN Printer A Handy Workhorse

By Ben Pate


The Brother MFC-9420CN printer has the right mix of features and price to make it an ideal choice for the small to medium sized office. It is fast, uses Brother 9420CN toner sparingly, can glide into a network setup with ease and has a galaxy of functions. Add a very reasonable price and you have a winner.

The machine is a does-it-all and a good one at that with Brother printer toner cartridges. It can print, fax and scan. You may also use it to scan to e-mail or it can serve as a copier. Faxing can be done from a PC. Scanning to e-mail works well with the majority of mail programs and whenever you use this, you get a screen to type a message that can be sent with the scan.

To set up the printer basically requires loading toner and paper and plugging into the power socket. You do not need to do perform complicated steps to set it up for a network. That is done automatically. The machine is easy to use and the documentation user friendly.

As far as speed is concerned, it beats its competitors and takes no prisoners. It goes through 31 pages of black and white printouts a minute. For color, the speed is 8 per minute. That is not bad at all for a laser. Sharp printouts done quickly is what you would expect from a good laser printer and that is what you get here. Printing is at 2400x600 dpi. The documents you print out with this printer are bound to be clear and sharp. This all-in-one has not forgotten that it is really supposed to be a printer. If you want to avoid the cost of outsourcing your printing, get a good all in one. This is one to consider.

This three-in-one is a workhorse. It is bulky and heavy. It does its job fast and efficiently. You are bound to be happy with the results it gives in both color and monochrome if you stay away from photos. Text and graphics are no problem. It faxes and copies as well as prints, making it an ideal office helper.

These printers have a standard Ethernet interface and can therefore be integrated into the network. In the network is where it shows one of its strongest points, the excellent color faxing abilities that cannot be equaled by many. The quality of its color faxing is superb. Its fax modem provides fast fax sending at 33.6K bps in color or monochrome.

The machine goes easy on toner and cartridges last long. High yield cartridges are available at a very reasonable price when you do need to replace them. This is especially true if you buy remanufactured ones.

The three-in-one has a paper tray that can hold 250 sheets. Many of its competitors have a 180-sheet tray. This holder can be adjusted to hold letter size or A4 paper. You can up the number of sheets to 780 by going for the optional paper holder for 530.
