Brother's MFC-9120CN Digital Color All-In-One Printer w/Fax & Networking is a printer, scanner and copier all rolled into one, with small offices or small workgroups in mind. The MFC-9120CN has a built-in wired Ethernet interface that enables sharing of the device with multiple computers. It is propelled by Brother's laser-like digital LED technology, which helps yield B&W or color documents and photos with resolutions up to 600 x 2400dpi at speeds up to 17 pages per minute. The unit's high resolution results in detailed images with brilliant colors and rich black text.
For busy offices, the MFC-9120CN is equipped with an adjustable 250-sheet paper tray and a 35-page Automatic Document Feeder (ADF) for copying, scanning or faxing multiple pages up to legal size. It also has a straight-through bypass which accommodates heavier stock papers and envelopes. The flatbed scanner will accommodate letter and A4 size documents for copying or scanning, and it has a hinged flatbed cover to enable copying from bound documents such as books or magazines.
It uses individual toner cartridges which are easy to replace and will save money because only individual cartridges need to be replaced when depleted. The MFC-9120CN combines outstanding all around office multi-functionality into a single, space saving device (16.9 x 19.2 x 15.7").

Comments about Brother MFC-9120CN Digital Color All-In-One Printer w/Fax & Networking:
We are disappointed with this printer. As a non-profit organization, we find the toner costs excessive for the output. It seems there is always a cartridge in need of replacing and as we are all volunteers in a rural location, it's just another job someone has to handle on the next trip to town, if the budget allows. This printer is used about 4 or 5 times a month to print reports and quarterly for coloured flyers that may average less than 200 copies.

Comments about Brother MFC-9120CN Digital Color All-In-One Printer w/Fax & Networking:
You only get about 1000 prints per black cartridge and it doesn't matter if you have used the color or not it will ask you to replace every color cartridge as well and it will not function until you replace them all. I pay $100 per cartridge so once a month it expects me to pay an extra $400, I would shop around before buying this printer.
