Lock Colour Usage
Ideal for the office environment, each colour laser printer is equipped with the Lock Colour Usage feature giving corporate administrators the ability to restrict colour print usage by user. Users are required to enter a password to print colour documents. This feature enables business owners to maintain control against employee usage abuse. Thus reduces unnecessary colour printing by un-authorised users, allowing businesses to lower toner consumption and saves toner wastage.

Fax forwarding and broadcasting features to reduce communication expenses
Conventionally, long-distance fax transmissions to ten different destinations requires payment of transmission fees covering the ten destinations. But by combining the faxing and broadcasting functions, you can have the same ten fax transmissions charged as one long-distance fax transmission with the remaining nine transmissions charged at short-distance transmission rates.

*Note that the short-distance fees are borne by the sender.

Internet Fax eliminates faxing expenses.
With the Brother Colour Laser Series, faxes are transmitted via the Internet. Sending faxes with the Brother Colour Laser Series does not require the use of a telephone line, so you will no longer receive bills for faxes transmitted in this manner.

*Only MFC-9840CDW supports this function.

*Note that Internet provider fees are payable separately.

Auto two-sided printing and layout printing to save paper.
Unlike using one sheet of paper for one page, auto two-sided printing helps reduce paper consumption. Reduced-size layout can further promote savings of consumables.

PC-FAX saves paper
Documents and images stored in a PC can be faxed directly without the need for printing. No printing means no paper use – thus saving the environment and saving costs.

As for incoming faxes, PC-Fax stores them in its memory even when the user’s PC is turned off. When the PC is switched back on, user can choose to print or discard any faxes without having to print them out. These digital features provide convenience while eliminating toner and paper wastage.
