The $500, Brother MFC-9320CW focuses squarely on speed, with the fastest overall time for its price class. The MFC-9320CW is an LED printer, a category that’s usually grouped with lasers, because it’s basically a variation on the same technology. The difference is that instead of using lasers, LED printers use LEDs to draw the image of each page as the first step in printing. This cheap printer measures 15.7 by 16.9 by 19.3 inches (HWD), and weighs about 50.5-pound, a little too heavy to move around easily.
This printer can serve nicely in a home office or as a personal printer. In addition to printing, the MFC-9320CW can scan and fax, even over a network, as well as work as a standalone copier and fax machine. Office-centric features include a 35-page automatic document feeder (ADF) which allow users to scan, fax, and copy multi-page documents easily, as well as handle legal-size pages, which are too big to fit on the letter-size flatbed. The printer can also print from and scan to a USB key, and even print directly from a PictBridge camera—a feature that can come in handy in, say, a real estate office, not to mention in a home office to print photos meant for a refrigerator door, for instance. MFC-9320CW offers Ethernet and Wi-Fi (as well as USB).
The output quality for the MFC-9320CW is nowhere near as impressive as its speed. However, the text, graphics, and photo quality are all good enough for most business purposes, and within the range in which the vast majority of colors lasers fall.
