Brother’s new inkjet MFCs are cloud ready
Brother International has introduced a new Inkjet Multi-Function Centre (MFC) family that works with your favourite smart devices and cloud services.
“As multiple devices become an integral part of our homes and offices, the need for simplicity has never been greater. The enhanced connectivity of the new Brother Inkjet MFCs is designed to work seamlessly with your favourite devices with unparalleled convenience and ease,” says Stefanie Murphy, Marketing Specialist at Brother International Australia. “The enhanced connectivity and cloud functionality features in this series help our customers attain higher productivity in less time, on whatever device they prefer.”
Airprint compatibility and Mopria-certification allows for connectivity with other devices through wireless networking, while the Wi-Fi Direct feature also provides the ability for mobile devices to send documents directly for printing and scanning, saving time by removing the requirement of a computer. To reduce mistakes and wastage, documents can even be previewed and edited on a mobile device before being sent for printing with Brother’s iPrint&Scan mobile app. The flagship model, MFC-J880DW, also features Near Field Communication (NFC), enabling direct connections with NFC-ready smartphones and other devices.
The Brother Inkjet MFCs are pre-installed with a Scan to Office’ function which turns scanned documents into editable Word, Excel and Powerpoint documents, saving a lot of time and effort. Each has Automatic Document Feeders for easy multi-paged copying, scanning and faxing.
Furthermore, efficiency can be optimised with the option to bypass the need of a computer entirely with WebConnect, which enables users to upload images and documents to popular online services like Dropbox, Facebook or Google Drive and can then be printed any time when needed.
The Brother Inkjet MFCs deliver high quality prints at up to 12ppm monochrome and 10ppm colour (laser comparable). Pricing starts at $A99 and available from Dick Smith Electronics, Harvey Norman, The Good Guys.
