Expert Verdict

The Brother MFC-L3710CW is a large and hefty all-in-one printer that prints quickly and has excellent picture quality with Brother MFC-L3710CW Toner Cartridges.

The scanner is located directly beneath it, and it is easy to open and close thanks to a robust, double-jointed hinge. However, because there is no slow-close mechanism here, the lid, though lightweight, can smash down if you're not careful. The control panel extends into the space behind it, and the out-tray, which can hold up to 150 sheets of A4 at a time, is located beneath it. Below that is the tray you'll need to open to replace the Brother MFC-L3710CW Toner Cartridges, as well as the massive 250-sheet capacity paper in-tray.

Aside from the essentials, you can scan to email, scan to mobile, or send copies of scans to a cloud drive or an FTP server, which may be useful for your company's needs.
