Brother Plans Speedy Multi-Function Line
BRIDGEWATER , N.J.--Feb. 13, 2006--Brother International Corp. has announced that it will launch 30-ppm flatbed laser products as part of its Multi-Function Center line.
The new models, expected to become available in the March to May timeframe, will provide 1200 x 1200-dpi resolution, a 50-sheet multipurpose tray and Ethernet interface. Two of the models are expected to add duplex capability for 2-sided printing, copying, faxing and scanning. A high-end model will include standard 802.11b/g wireless networking.
The three models are based on the MFC-8460N base unit. Features are planned to streamline workflow and reduce total cost of ownership, according to a company announcement.
The MFC-8460N will suit the ongoing document needs of most busy office environments and is expected to be priced at about $400.
Model MFC-8860DN (about $500) will include all the base features but adds duplex capability. Model MFC-8870DW (about $600) will share the same print speed resolution and paper handling capabilities of the lower priced models but will also include the 802.11b/g wireless interface.
