Data is based on Brother lab test results and may vary from actual print quality due to usage environment and settings. Best print resolution is 1200 x 1200 dpi (measured with print quality set to best mode).

The print speed may be slower when the machine is connected by wireless LAN.

The print speeds of "1-sided Print" were measured in accordance with ISO/IEC 24734.

This speed is based on 1-sided printing. If your model’s default print setting is "2-sided", change to "1-sided" for these results.

Printing from Ready mode and standard tray.

Length of time from when the machine is started until paper output is complete (except when the machine is turned on or when an error is fixed)

This applies when printing on A4- or Letter-size paper from the standard tray. It could be longer however, depending on the paper size and the amount of print data.
