Datasheet

The Brother MFC-8860DN provides all the features, convenience,
versatility and performance of the MFC-8460N and adds built-in
automatic duplex (two-sided) printing, copying, scanning
and faxing.
This feature can help you cut paper costs by as much as half, while
giving you the ability to create professional two-sided documents for
reports, proposals and other tasks, quickly and easily.
Automatic duplex printing
You can take a typical document file and simply choose to
print it as a duplexed document right from the MFC-8860DN’s
print menu, with the orientation you prefer. Your selection
then happens automatically, without the need to reload the
paper to print the other side.
The Brother MFC-8870DW provides the automatic two-sided
printing, copying, scanning
and faxing functionality of the
MFC-8860DN, and the same great features, plus 802.11b/g
wireless connectivity.
This means that if you have an 802.11b/g-enabled PC or
notebook, you can connect to the MFC-8870DW wirelessly,
right from that PC or notebook, in AD HOC mode. In
infrastructure mode – the most common wireless environment
– you can connect and take advantage of all the features of
the MFC-8870DW through your wireless access point/router.
It’
s a perfect fit for offices where you ha
ve a mix of wired and
wireless-enabled desktop PC and notebook users, some of whom
connect via an established Ethernet network, and others who are
on the move during the work day
. It’s also ideal for offices with
“drop-in” users – such as sales people equipped with wireless-
enabled notebooks – who normally work outside the office.
Automatic duplex copying and scanning
Now you can copy or scan two sides of the same document
and either print the copy or store the scan as two single-sided
pa
ges,
or as a single two-sided page. Or, you can copy or scan
two single-sided documents and produce a copy or store a scan
as a single two-sided pa
ge.
Automatic duplex faxing
Scan a two-sided document for faxing with only one step
and it will be received as two single-sided pages. Also,
cut paper costs by printing out the multiple-pa
ge faxes you
receive as double-sided pages.
