Expert Verdict
Brother has updated its small and home office inkjet line, with the DCP-J4120DW being the most affordable of the group. The Brother DCP-J4120DW is an A4 inkjet multifunction peripheral (MFP) with A3 printing, which could be suitable for individuals who don't have enough space for a full A3 printer but need to print a few A3 pages now and then. From quick and easy networking to varied media handling, the DCP-J4120DW printer has a lot to offer. The Brother DCP-J4120DW 3-in-1 A3 inkjet even has PC-free functionalities, but its fixed paper capacity is a drawback. It's fairly appealing, and it's not much larger than a regular office inkjet MFP, but the price is also reasonable, especially considering that it comes with Wi-Fi, a color touchscreen, front USB and memory card connections and an Ethernet port.
A flatbed scanner is included with the Brother DCP-J4120DW color multifunction printer. It also incorporates a touchscreen display and control panel for easy use. Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi direct, as well as a PictBridge connector, memory card, reader, and USB host, are all available for connectivity on the Brother DCP-J4120DW A3 color inkjet printer.

The DCP-J4120DW is a three-in-one printer, capable of printing, scanning, and copying.

There are 150 sheets in the paper tray, 50 in the output tray, and a single sheet feeder for other media, such as the occasional A3 job. On A4, the printer can also print double-sided automatically.
The printer is simple to set up, although a little annoying. The BROTHER DCP J4120DW ink cartridges are simple to instal, but you must wait four minutes for the printer to clean itself, and the little touchscreen might be problematic for those with large fingers. It's also worth noting that the included BROTHER DCP J4120DW ink cartridges are starters, so it won't be long before you need to replace them with the new full-sized BROTHER DCP J4120DW ink cartridges.
Mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets can be used to print and scan documents from anywhere in the office.

The Brother DCP-J4120DW 3-in1 inkjet printer offers a monochrome copy speed of 12ipm and a color copy speed of 9 ipm.
Although you don't need to use it very often, the touchscreen is small enough to be uncomfortable. When the printer isn't printing, it's silent, but when the volume is turned down, it makes a whining noise that can be bothersome if you're sitting next to it. Because of its compact footprint, it has a restricted paper capacity. The Brother DCP-J4120DW color inkjet printer can only take 150 sheets at a time, and there are no alternative paper trays. The inbuilt ADF can only handle 20 sheets of paper at a time. For plain paper printing, the Brother DCP J4120DW ink cartridges comprise cyan, magenta, yellow, and black color cartridges.
